A Maine mom who checked into the hospital for a routine surgery woke up to a medical nightmare after a surgeon allegedly removed her bladder instead of an ovarian cyst. Emily Mitchell, 43, of Skowhegan, was awarded $15. 75 million after a jury found Northern Light Inland Hospital negligent in the botched operation that left her permanently disabled, according to Bangor Daily News.
