Ohio woman: Pa. doctor botched breast surgery, gave wrong implants on fiance’s advice

Ohio woman says Pa. doc gave wrong breast implants

PITTSBURGH — A lawsuit says a Pennsylvania doctor gave an Ohio woman the wrong kind of breast implants after asking her fiance whether to continue with the botched operation.

Brittany Daly of Steubenville, Ohio, says she decided on silicon breast implants on the advice of her doctor, Beverly Carl.

But Daly says Carl’s office in Bridgewater, Pa., used saline implants during the April 2008 surgery and kept her anethsetized longer than necessary while it tried to sort out the problem.

Daly claims that the doctor talked to Daly’s fiance about the mistake while she was knocked out and that he said to go ahead with saline implants. Daly says her fiance wasn’t authorized to make the decision.

Daly is seeking at least $300,000 in damages to have the surgery corrected and for physical and emotional discomfort.

The doctor did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
