That's WAY different than the original article. She doesn't want to know 'why?', she wants to know, "Are there others like me?"
She wants to know if there are others, and from all the articles I've read, probably "why", too. And she isn't suing, yet. She's simply trying to get information. However, I would suspect she wants the information to help her with an eventual lawsuit. I really don't know from the information given, so I am speculating.

Yep, she wants names for testimony purposes. Sounds like a fishing trip. Since the hospital cannot on the basis of privacy issues, she and her lawyer are probably hoping the publicity will have former patients come forward.
