Iowa woman died following hernia repair after nurses dismissed painful post-surgery symptoms: lawsuit

An Iowa woman, Laura Belt, died after a routine hernia repair due to complications that hospital staff allegedly missed. Her family is suing the surgeon, Dr. Edwin Vincent Wehling, and two registered nurses, Brandi Oesch and Tammy Roberts, for medical malpractice. The lawsuit claims that the staff dismissed Belt's painful post-surgery symptoms as normal.
