WONDER Kellman-Hall, a 45-year-old mother of two, has filed an almost $7 million lawsuit against Dr. Balwant Singh’s Hospital and one of their doctors for removing her ovaries and cervix without her consent during a medical procedure.

Kellman-Hall, a travel agent, is seeking damages in excess of $5 million from the hospital and Dr. Madhu Singh for negligence.

She is also seeking $659,500 in special damages along with exemplary and aggravated damages in excess of $1 million.

The lawsuit was filed by attorney-at-law Sanjeev Datadin and associates.

During the month of June 2021, she encountered medical problems, which she believed were connected to her reproductive organs and visited the city hospital.

The woman in her lawsuit claimed that after a consultation with Dr. Singh she was told that there were fibroids attached to her womb and she also had an umbilical hernia.

Following further consultation, and $650,500 later, it was agreed that Kellman-Hall would have to undergo two medical procedures: the removal of her womb and the hernia.

However, the woman said that she gave specific instructions that she did not want her ovaries and cervix removed during the surgeries, which the doctor was aware of.

On June 8, she signed a consent form at the hospital for the surgeries and expressly wrote on the consent form that she did not want her ovaries and cervix removed.

The next day she went under the knife and was discharged two days later.

Sometime after the surgeries, which were deemed successful, the claimant visited the hospital, but doctors did not indicate that they removed her cervix and both ovaries.

In her court documents, the woman said that she returned to the hospital on August 23, 2022, for an ultrasound, and Dr. Singh advised her that everything was normal with her body.

With growing concern and sensing something was wrong, Kellman-Hall went to the Cancer Institute and had another ultrasound done.

It was there that the doctor delivered the shocking news that based upon the results of the ultrasound both of her ovaries and her cervix were removed.

“The claimant began experiencing various changes in her body, such as extreme sweating during the nights, pains when standing too long, hot flashes, chills, lack of energy, lack of concentration and changes in her mood. This severely affected the claimant’s ability to work at her job as a travel agent…” her court document said. She was also having problems sleeping.

She later visited the hospital where Dr. Singh reportedly explained to her that she had bleeding on one of her ovaries resulting in the removal.

The claimant later re-examined her hospital documents and noticed that the discharge diagnosis included a “TAH with Unilateral oophorectomy + B/L Salpingectomy” but she never consented to the latter two procedures.

She requested all of the documentation from the hospital concerning the surgery; however, to date she has not received any.

In her court document, she said that her work, hobbies, social, recreational and other activities have been adversely affected since the surgeries.
