According to a news report<\/a>, a woman recently filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court against an Illinois surgeon and hospital for medical malpractice. The surgeon operated on the lumbar, or lower, portion of the woman\u2019s back. Two other defendants are also named in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
