During surgery Sept. 4, 2007 to remove a cancerous kidney, Dr. Victor Grigoriev cut out part of Georganne Mumm's pancreas and clamped a vein, strangling the blood supply to her spleen. Both had to be removed in a follow-up surgery. Georganne Mumm now lives in constant pain, wears an ostomy bag and rarely leaves her home in Bullhead City, Arizona.
