TAMPA - K.S., a minor, by and through his parents, Christopher and Kameika Smith, filed a complaint on July 22 in Hillsborough County Circuit Court against Suzanne R. Clemons, M.D. and Women's Care Florida, LLC for negligence.
According to the complaint, on Nov. 10, 2020, Kameika Smith had a C-section performed by Dr. Clemons at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital. During the operation, Dr. Clemons' scalpel cut K.S.'s face, causing a severe face laceration, the suit says.
