⭐ LANDMARK VERDICT
Our client — a Fort Dodge, Iowa mother of two — sought treatment at Mayo Clinic for ulcerative colitis. Her surgeon recommended a three-stage colorectal procedure to rebuild her lower digestive tract. During the second surgery in June 2018, the surgeon failed to remove the entire rectum, leaving 5–7 centimeters of diseased tissue inside her body.
When a CT scan clearly showed the remaining tissue, the surgeon dismissed the imaging and advised our client it was safe to proceed with the third surgery anyway. After that surgeon left Mayo Clinic, the chief of colorectal surgery reviewed the case and determined all prior surgeries needed to be redone — a correction process that took over a year to complete.
What began as three planned surgeries became five total. Our client now lives with permanent disfigurement, pelvic floor disorder, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and lifelong chronic pain.
