According to a lawsuit filed last month, Berner discovered after the procedure that she never had cancer. She allegedly found out neither from her KU surgeon, nor from Meenakshi Singh, the doctor who misdiagnosed her. The suit states she read about it in a business publication, which reported another KU doctor said his colleagues were trying to cover up the mistake.

A review by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found Singh was not qualified by KU’s own internal standards to make Berner’s diagnosis. And now the doctor, who is a defendant in the lawsuit, has let her license lapse and is no longer eligible to practice medicine in Kansas.
