A Chicago eye doctor has been sued for allegedly operating on a patient’s wrong eye, and then operating on her correct eye without anesthesia, ABC News reports.
Sutton Dryfhout, 21, has sued Dr. Benjamin Ticho of The Eye Specialists Center in suburban Chicago following a botched 2017 surgery that she says was akin to being tortured.
Dryfhout, who was 19 at the time, had gone to Dr. Ticho’s practice to have a cyst removed from her left eye. However, according to her lawsuit, Ticho operated on her right eye instead. As Dryfhout was in the recovery room, a nurse noticed that her right eye was bleeding even though her left eye should have been operated on. The nurse brought the matter to Ticho’s attention.
