QUESTION
Do I have a case of medical malpractice? I was removed one ovary during a surgery of removing uterus fibroid, because of heavy bleeding.

More details to this question:
I had a surgery to remove uterus fibroid in Dec. 2011 when I was just turned to 41. During the surgery, the surgeon removed one big fibroid, but failed to remove another one. He removed one ovary due to blooding. I went through fertility treatment in 2012. But I do not respond to ovary stimulation. I think the removal of the ovary has big impact on my fertility ability and causes IVF almost impossible for me. I have no kids. So it is a big impact on my life. I need to see a psychologist once a week for a couple of months. I am wondering if it is a medical malpractice case.

I cannot tell you based on the facts that you presented whether you have a viable medical malpractice case. Is it your position that the failure to remove the second fibroid led to the need to remove the ovary? If the removal of the ovary was either necessitated by negligence or the result of negligence, you may have a case worth investigating, but the facts are a bit unclear.
