An OB/GYN clinic and its doctor in North Carolina is facing a $2 million lawsuit filed by a woman for the doctor’s failure to detect the migration of her IUD from her uterus and its implantation into her abdomen, according to an international wire service agency. Angela Collins alleged that the doctor in Blue Ridge Gynecology & Obstetrics have neglected her concerns despite realizing that the IUD is missing from her uterus in February 2007. The doctor has failed to use any imaging device in the hope of locating the migrated IUD. Ms. Collins has experienced severe abdominal pain, yet the doctor only prescribed her with over-the-counter pain relievers over three years. In November 2010, the CT scan showed that the IUD has migrated into her abdomen. The IUD was successful removed in January 2011.
