Detransitioner Sues Doctors Over Alleged Malpractice After North Carolina Law Change Upheld
A detransitioners malpractice lawsuit against doctors she claims misled her into undergoing a double mastectomy and hormone therapy has been sent to appeals court after an initial dismissal as untimely.
A detransitioners malpractice lawsuit against doctors she says counseled her for years to undergo a double mastectomy and begin hormone therapy has been taken to the appeals court after a North Carolina law change. The initial dismissal of the case was due to the statute of limitations expiring, but the detransitioners claim the new law extends their filing deadline. They allege that the doctors provided inadequate medical care and failed to inform her about alternative treatments. The court will now decide on whether the law change allows for a re-examination of the initial dismissal.
