Precursor indication of what we’re in for with the inevitable socialized medicine in this country-except that those who actually need the surgery won’t be able to get it.

Never mind, dear, with the money you’ll get you’ll not only have the best cancer-free implants, but you’ll be such a rich woman that you won’t be single for long.

Winning is not even the situation here. She will probably bankrupt the company cleaning them out and the hospital, radiologist and everyone who was involved.

The idea of getting two biopsies is stupid. Not needed for something that rarely occurs. I doubt seriously that this idea is going to become a standard of care. Two surgical procedures are not needed. There will always be human error. But two biopsies are not needed. Maybe a better system of checking and rechecking to make more sure the specimen is labled and processed correctly.

A little super glue can clear that right up.

I hope she wins, too...but we breast cancer survivors don't look on ourselves as "mutilated."

But in a statement, CBLPath Medical Lab said, "The New York State Department of Health found no systemic problems and no deficiencies were cited against the lab."

I guess the Docs were just stupid as hell then, right?

Gov’t healthcare (Hillary-care) would have saved this woman.

Horrifying story, no doubt.

Though had it been a man having his nuts cut off in a cancer misdiagnosis... It would have been material for Comedy Central.
Funny that.

Eason said she learned a valuable lesson from her terrible experience. "Second opinions are good but second biopsies are better."

It's good she has a sense of humor about it but she's right. Imagine what would happen under a socialised system. At least in our system, she can seek damages. If the gov't becomes the health provider, you won't be able to hold them accountable for such gaffes.
