Abby Lee Miller Sues Hospital Over Catheter Allegedly Left In Her Body for Years

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUN 4 – Abby Lee Miller alleges doctors left a catheter in her abdomen after 2020 spinal surgery, causing years of dismissed pain; she seeks $1.4 million in damages for medical negligence.

  • In 2025, Abby Lee Miller filed a lawsuit against a Los Angeles hospital and a pair of physicians, claiming they left a catheter inside her abdomen following spinal surgery she underwent in June 2020.
  • Miller repeatedly reported abdominal pain that doctors dismissed without ordering imaging, causing years of unresolved discomfort escalating by March 2024.
  • In June 2024, a CT scan disclosed a bright blue catheter inside her abdomen, which was removed during emergency surgery shortly after.
  • Miller’s lawyer emphasized that this case goes beyond medical malpractice, revealing a widespread problem where women’s pain is frequently overlooked or dismissed by healthcare professionals.
  • Cedars-Sinai declined to comment due to privacy laws but affirmed patient safety as their top priority, while Miller seeks nearly $1.5 million in damages for negligence and emotional distress.
