‘Dance Moms’ star Abby Lee Miller says catheter was left in her abdomen for years, sues hospital
“Dancing mothers“a star Abe Lee Miller A lawsuit against a prominent hospital in Los Angeles was filed on Tuesday, claiming that the doctors had left a foreign body in her body after the surgery.
Miller, known as her role in a successful reality TV program, is sued the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and two doctors for medical practice, professional negligence and medical battery.
The 59 -year -old former reality star claims that doctors left a catheter inside her stomach after surgery on the spine in 2020. She seeks about $ 1.5 million as compensation.
“Abe Lee Miller has suffered for years of an object inside her during spine surgery, despite complaints to various doctors, one of them did not order photography of any kind to diagnose her pain.”
Since the surgery in 2020, Miller – an anomaly – said she has repeatedly informed the discomfort of doctors who “systematically rejected her chronic pain and bid her suffering for years with a catheter inside her stomach,” says the lawsuit.
The inconvenience of Miller in the abdomen “has escalated into constant and weak pain, which affects the quality of her life on a daily basis” by March 2024, according to the case. Later that year, while she was looking to care for an unrelated issue in a different hospital, she was referred to the Emergency Chamber for the pain.
Two days later, in June 2024, a CT scan revealed that a foreign object was inside its stomach, as the case says, and the light blue catheter was surgically removed.
“This is not just a medical battery, it reflects a greater and destructive fact: the woman’s pain is often ignored or rejected by the professionals who swore to take care of them,” said Lewis. “Abe’s case is a chilling reminder: even when women are sound and clear in distress, their pain is still not a believer.”
A spokesman for Cedars-Sinai said in a statement that the hospital cannot comment pending legal issues or discussing medical treatment for any patient due to the laws of the state of federal state and the laws of the state.
The hospital said: “However, the care and safety of our patients, employees and visitors are always more important than Cedars-Sinai,” the hospital said. “We are committed to ensuring the highest care criteria for all whom we serve.”
A receptionist for Dr. Huuman Milamid, one of Miller’s doctors is sustaining, commenting on the phone when asked if the doctor wants to comment.
Dr. Paul Duan, the other doctor mentioned in the case, refused to comment.
In 2017, Miller topped the headlines of the national newspapers when it was He was sentenced to one year in prison in the federal prison To hide the assets from the bankruptcy court, and the failure to report the treatment of an international currency.
