The plaintiff brought a medical malpractice action against two physicians and a hospital, alleging she suffered permanent injuries following a vaginal myomectomy.
The defendants moved for summary judgment, relying on expert evidence that the physicians met the standard of care and that the surgery did not cause the alleged injuries.
The self-represented plaintiff failed to produce any expert evidence to support her claims despite multiple extensions.
The court granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment and dismissed the action, finding that the absence of expert evidence in a medical malpractice claim is fatal.
