A couple from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, has filed a lawsuit against Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City, alleging negligence and improper sterilization procedures following a hip replacement surgery. Bill Berberich, who underwent the procedure a few years ago, suffered severe complications, including a "dirty" infection that required additional surgeries and blood transfusions.

The lawsuit, originally filed in state court and later moved to federal court, seeks class action status for patients who experienced similar infections at the hospital between 2022 and 2023. The legal action cites whistleblower complaints about sterilization practices and claims of inadequate oversight by hospital management.

Saint Luke’s Health System has defended its procedures, citing adherence to industry standards. The case, which is seeking damages and a jury trial, highlights ongoing concerns over patient safety and the financial impact on those affected.
