- Sharon Jacks, a 74-year-old Ohio woman, is suing Selby General Hospital after surgeons amputated the wrong leg during a September 2025 procedure.
- Her attorney stated the surgeon marked the correct right leg for cancer treatment prior to surgery, but doctors mistakenly removed her left leg.
- Four months after the initial medical error, Jacks had to have her correct leg amputated as originally scheduled, leaving her a double amputee.
- The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for physical injury, medical expenses, permanent disability, and severe emotional distress.
- Selby General Hospital acknowledged that operating room procedures were not followed, confirming that the surgical staff involved are no longer employed.
