‘Taken from me’: US mum-of-six loses hands, legs, lips and left paralysed after hysterectomy goes badly wrong

A mother of six in the United States is seeking $98 million in damages over a hysterectomy she says went badly wrong. Trisha Stevens, 46, names three doctors and two Portland hospitals in her lawsuit, alleging they delayed treatment for sepsis. Stevens says she was advised to rest and hydrate after reporting bleeding and fever, before her condition deteriorated. She has since had both legs and her right hand amputated, and she is paralysed from the waist down. Her attorney, Rhett Fraser, says she now needs daily wound care and cannot eat independently.
