A cancer-stricken Ohio woman who underwent a required amputation procedure last year is now a double amputee — after her surgeon allegedly cut off the wrong leg, according to a lawsuit. Sharon Jacks was set to have a below-the-knee amputation of her right leg at Selby General Hospital in Marietta, Ohio, on Sept. 19, 2025, but was left shocked when she woke up to her left leg gone, according to the 32-page complaint obtained by WBNS.
