DOUBLE MASTECTOMY MISTAKE !
A woman had a suspicious growth in her breast and had a biopsy done. The lab who did the biopsy reported that the woman had breast cancer. Her doctor determined that based on the information the biopsy provided, she needed to have a double mastectomy to save her life.
After surgery she was told that she didn't have cancer and never did. They believe the mix up occurred because the sample from the biopsy was mislabeled by the lab technician who was handling more than one sample at a time.
To make the situation worse there is also a woman out there who had this aggressive form of breast cancer and may not have been told in time.
People don't usually have second biopsies, however if the results of a biopsy are going to cause you to loose a part of your body, maybe a second biopsy would seem in order. I for one after hearing this story, would insist on it.
The woman is suing the lab and I hope she gets every penny she's asking for.
