(Detroit Free Press) It wasn’t supposed to be brain surgery.
A jury awarded the family of an 81-year-old Belleville woman $21 million this week in a lawsuit against Oakwood Hospital. The family claimed the hospital mistakenly operated on her brain in January 2012 when she just needed a simple procedure on her jaw.
Bimla Nayyar never recovered from the surgery and died 60 days later.
