Abby Lee Miller‘s accusing a prominent Los Angeles-area hospital of malpractice … claiming the doctors who performed surgery on her left a foreign object in her body.
The “Dance Moms” star is suing Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital and two doctors in relation to a 2020 surgery she got on her spine.
While the surgery appeared to have been successful, Abby says she began suffering from abdominal pain and discomfort … distress she says she shared with multiple medical professionals, including the two doctors who performed her surgery.
Miller claims her complaints were waved away and largely ignored … until she says one of her doctors finally performed a CT scan.
According to Abby, the CT scan revealed a “retained catheter” she says was left inside her body after the surgery.
She’s suing for medical negligence, professional negligence, medical battery and more … and asking for at least $1.4 million.
ALM’s been in a number of doctors’ offices over the past few years because of her battle with Burkitt lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease has affected her mobility, and she now uses a wheelchair in order to get around.
A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai tells TMZ … “Cedars-Sinai cannot comment on pending legal matters. Also, due to federal and state privacy laws, Cedars-Sinai cannot discuss any patient’s medical treatment.”
The spokesperson continues … “However, the care and safety of our patients, staff and visitors are always Cedars-Sinai’s top priorities. We are dedicated to ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care for all those we serve.”
