A jury awarded $208,839 to a woman who claimed she suffered uterine pain for three months after an the implantation of an intrauterine device.
Tracy Jackson, then 46, went to Dr. Ingrid Isdith in Wellington for placement of a Mirena IUD for birth control. She began experiencing severe pelvic and abdominal pain shortly after the IUD was implanted. Five days later, the IUD was removed. She claimed the wall of her uterus was perforated during the IUD insertion, causing the device to migrate under her liver.
