LOS ANGELES -- A woman who underwent a double mastectomy and later discovered she didn't have breast cancer was set to receive $198,000 under a settlement approved Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
Ana Jimenez-Salgado had her breasts surgically removed at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center after two outside pathologists determined the cells obtained from an August 2007 biopsy were cancerous.
She later underwent reconstructive surgery. The hospital's pathologists examined tissue obtained during that procedure and concluded she did not have breast cancer.

Wow ,that's a pretty cheap settlement , when someone got much more because she spilled coffee in her lap.
Always get a 2nd opinion or 3rd or 4th. Doctors are always infallible
that all?
Maybe with the 200k she is getting it will get her off state assistance.
Wow! I surely thought their value to be greater, at least my wife has informed me that they are.
The unspoken question IS SHE A LEGAL CITIZEN????
198K? That does not even begin to pay for what they are worth. Has she had children yet?
I would rather have the boob.
