Michelle Knepper of Vancouver, Washington. Knepper picked a doctor out
of the phone book to do her liposuction, and went ahead with the procedure even
though the doctor was only a dermatologist, not a plastic surgeon. After having
complications, she complained she never would have chosen that doctor had she
known he wasn't Board Certified in the procedure. (She relied on the phonebook
listing over asking the doctor, or looking for a certificate on his wall?!) So
she sued ...the phone company! She won $1.2 million plus $375,000
for her husband for "loss of spousal services and companionship."
