Doctor Brands Uterus: A Kentucky woman sued her a doctor for branding her uterus with the initials of his alma mater during an operation to remove the organ.
Stephanie Means alleged that while Dr. James Guiler performed the hysterectomy at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, he “used a cauterizing instrument to intentionally brand the letters ‘UK,’ approximately 4-5 cm in height, on plaintiff Stephanie Means’s uterus.”
Guiler filmed the procedure and gave the couple a copy of the videotape.
Nine other women came forward and said the doctor had done the same to them.
