A woman in Kansas was awarded $250,000 in damages after a doctor removed the wrong ovary.

28 year-old Amy miller agreed to have her right ovary removed after a doctor told her it would help to relieve the pain she experienced during her menstrual cycles. A few months after the surgery, the pain in Miller's abdomen returned. After meeting with another doctor Miller was given an ultrasound. The test revealed that she still had her right ovary and the first surgeon had removed the wrong one.

Miller filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the surgeon who removed the incorrect ovary. A jury in Douglas County, Kansas awarded Miller $760,000 in damages. District Court Judge Steve Six then reduced the award to $250,000.
