Over 500 women are suing Chesapeake Regional Medical Center and its executives, seeking $10 million each. They allege the hospital knew about and failed to stop gynecologist Javaid Perwaiz's pattern of unnecessary and harmful surgeries, which caused severe trauma. Perwaiz is already imprisoned for medical fraud, but the lawsuit focuses on the hospital's alleged negligence in protecting patients from his procedures, which included invasive operations like hysterectomies.
