A Douglas County jury on Friday awarded $759,000 to a woman who had the wrong ovary removed by a Lawrence doctor.

Amy C. Miller, 32, had sought more than $750,000 in damages in her lawsuit against Lawrence physician Carolyn Johnson, who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.

It’s not disputed that Johnson accidentally removed Miller’s left ovary instead of the right one on Oct. 18, 2002, when Miller came in for surgery to relieve severe pain on the right side of her pelvis.

At the time of the surgery, Johnson worked at Lawrence OB-GYN Specialists. She now works for Student Health Services at Kansas University’s Watkins Memorial Health Center.
