A jury in Maine awards about $17 million to Emily Mitchell, 43, after a routine procedure goes wrong. Mitchell undergoes surgery intended to remove an ovarian cyst. Instead, physicians mistakenly remove her bladder, according to the lawsuit and reporting. The verdict is issued on July 23, roughly three years after the incident. One report says the jury awards $15.75 million, while another describes the award as $17 million, reflecting different roundings of the figure in coverage. The case centers on allegations that the medical error leaves Mitchell without most of her bladder. The reporting describes the surgery as intended to be straightforward and frames the outcome as a serious injury resulting from the mistaken removal. The sources agree on the core elements: the patient is a Maine woman, the surgery is for an ovarian cyst, the bladder is removed by mistake, and a jury later awards a large monetary sum.
