How have courts treated medical malpractice in cases involving an ectopic pregnancy?

32 In Sobstyl v. Finzer (8 January, 1993), (S.C.B.C.), [unreported], the plaintiff, a British Columbia resident, made a claim against an Alberta doctor and an Alberta hospital for negligence relating to surgery to correct an ectopic pregnancy. The surgery was conducted in Edmonton, Alberta where the plaintiff was travelling with the casino company by whom she was employed. The plaintiff deposed that following the surgery the doctor advised her that she would not be able to conceive a child and therefore there was no need for her to use any form of birth control. As a result of this advice the plaintiff did not use birth control. She suffered a second ectopic pregnancy in Vancouver, British Columbia which required surgery.
