The focus should really be on the fact that it appears that the procedure she requested was NOT the procedure that was performed.

If it later turns out that she asked for the ligation (which I doubt) then that would be a different story. But somehow I think if that was really the case, gag order or not, that information would have been leaked by now.
I guess I wasn't being clear.

Hypothetically, if only nominal damages are proved on the battery, the lawyer is going to lose lots of money on this case. You're a law student, so you probably don't have a lot of experience at evaluating cases based upon whether they'll help you pay your student loans or whether they'll waste many hours of your time, cost you an arm and a leg and leave you with nothing.
