A Houston clinic and one of its doctors have been ordered to pay a patient after she was severely injured in a surgery.

The woman went in for a hysterectomy in August 2008 with the understanding that Dr. Jim Benge would be her surgery.

After the women went under anesthesia, her attorneys said a Kelsey-Seybold Clinic resident performed almost half the surgery without her knowledge.

Several of the woman's organs were punctured during the surgery. She spent three weeks in a coma and ended up with a permanent colostomy.

The woman has undergone five additional surgeries for complications.

The woman sued Kelsey-Seybold and Binge. A Harris County jury awarded the woman $1.9 million.

Kelsey-Seybold declined to comment because of the ongoing nature of the lawsuit.
