No matter how hard to try to rein in life and bend it to your will, sometimes it really is out of our hands.
Take, for example, Lori Cichewicz of Michigan. According to WJBK, this Mom is suing her doctor for the stress of an unplanned pregnancy. She wen to her doctor in 2008 to have a tubal ligation surgery performed, more commonly known as having your ‘tubes tied.’
However, the doctor said Lori’s tubes were reportedly ‘blocked’ and she had zero chances of becoming pregnant again. Cichewicz also said her doctor’s informed her there was no need for her to use contraception.
Cichewicz is now suing for wrongful conception, according to the report. Wrongful conception is a medical malpractice claim that arises from the “negligent performance of a sterilization procedure,” according to the University of Missouri School of Law.
“This is really very close to a medical malpractice case,” legal analyst Charlie Langton told WJBK. “That’s really essentially what it is.”
Cichewicz, who is now 50 and raising a special needs child, is seeking damages for the emotional distress caused by the unplanned pregnancy.
“I’m older, I don’t know, will I see her graduate college? Will I see her go to college? Will I see her get married? Will I see her graduate high school? All this is going through my mind,” Cichewicz told WXYZ.
Cichewicz is not suing for “wrongful birth,” only for the stress of being pregnant when she didn’t want to be.
