Former patient accuses doctor of negligently performing surgical procedure

Medical malpractice 08

CHICAGO — A former patient is suing Karen Johnson M.D., a physician, for allegedly taking insufficient measures to prevent injuries and negligence.

Letitia Dennis filed a complaint on June 8 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging the physician failed to provide her with proper medical care.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges she experienced pain and suffered physical injuries after undergoing a hysterectomy procedure in June 2015. The plaintiff holds the defendant responsible for allegedly failing to properly perform a hysterectomy on her, resulting in "extreme pain and discomfort" and urinary incontinence.

The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs and any further relief this court grants. She is represented by Zane D. Smith & Associates Ltd. in Chicago.
