Healthy grandmother dies after doctors remove both kidneys after misdiagnosing her with cancer
Seventy three-year-old Linda Woolley, of Englewood, Colorado, was reportedly on the transplant list when she suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday
A 73-year-old healthy woman died eight months after doctors at the University of Colorado removed both her kidneys after misdiagnosing her with cancer, according to reports.
The woman, identified as Linda Woolley of Englewood, was reportedly on the transplant list when she suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday, which resulted in her death, Woolley's family said, according to Daily Mail.
Reports state that she was diagnosed with "likely" kidney cancer at the hospital in March 2018 and subsequently underwent surgery to remove both of them in May.
