Po Leung, 44, claims her husband Stuart Westcott was having a secret affair with their nurse Wendy Shanks during their $60,000 (£38,000) treatment.
She became pregnant through in-vitro fertilisation after several years of treatment at the fertility clinic, which she has now launched a $400,000 lawsuit against Shanks, the Markham Fertility Centre, near Toronto, Ontario, and the facility's director Dr. Colette Pyselman.
And reportedly, just as Leung finally managed to have a successful pregnancy, her husband up and left her the day after she conceived. And he ran off with ... their Nurse!
The lawsuit alleges Shanks 'abused her position of power, trust and influence as her medical care provider' and exploited that position to pursue a sexual relationship.
Says Leung of the day she finally got pregnant:
It was one of the best days of my life -- I was thrilled. After three years and $60,000 we had finally reached our goal. But the next day was the worst day of my life.I confronted him but he didn't give her up right away. However he said she was the most special person, the kindest, most compassionate person he had ever met. He was enthralled.
'We trusted everything she said. She portrayed herself as happily married with two kids.
'She told me both her kids are from fertility treatments, that she knew how hard it is and not to give up. She said her husband and her were still paying off their loans.'
The lawsuit claims that the nurse, Wendy Shanks, "abused her position of power, trust, and influence as her medical care provider."
Tragically, two weeks after Westcott left her for Shanks (reportedly), Leung miscarried the baby. She blames the stress of finding out about the affair and her husband leaving her.
The lawsuit alleges Shanks 'abused her position of power, trust and influence as her medical care provider' and exploited that position to pursue a sexual relationship.
Wescott broke the news he was leaving Po, his partner of four years, the day after she became pregnant
There's so many kinds of wrongs here. For a fertility nurse to repeatedly work to get a woman pregnant while simultaneously trying to steal her husband -- I have no words. It's heartbreaking to go through the stress of IVF treatments and the final price to pay is to loose the baby and your husband. This is the worst kind of betrayal.
Do you think the woman should sue the hospital?
How wicked!women can be wicked truly
ReplyDeleteWomen?was the man forced?or lured?I thnk its the man that is wicked in this case
ReplyDeleteI hope she is successful in her quest to sue. It is just disgraceful that a professional, and one in the caring profession, can misuse her position in this way.
