A 59-year-old Baltimore woman is suing a Johns Hopkins hospital for allegedly misdiagnosing her, and amputating her arms and legs as a result, the Daily Record reported.
Joyce E. Ferguson’s lawsuit argues that doctors at Howard County General ordered the amputations following three emergency rooms during which she complained about pelvic pain measuring “10-out-of-10 on the pain scale.” The first two times, the suit states, she was sent home without an explanation for the source of the pain.
According to the Associated Press, Ferguson was about to be discharged again on March 6, 2012, when she was found “lying on a stretcher, incoherent and cold to the touch.”
