In a more unusual medical case, a New York City woman is suing Brooklyn Hospital Center after an alleged "medical mistake" resulted in the removal of both her hands and her feet.According to the New York Daily News, Tabitha Mullings is now a quadruple amputee after she was initially admitted two months ago in dealing with a kidney stone.
The woman was reportedly given painkillers and sent home, but an infection that was left untreated blocked blood flow to her hands and feet and she fell into a semi-coma for two weeks.
When the 32-year-old mother of three woke up, doctors reportedly told her that they had to amputate both her hands and her feet. She also reportedly lost sight in one eye.
Mullings is suing the hospital for $100 million dollars, claiming she never received a blood test to look for the infection that ultimately resulted in the amputations.
