FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A Florida woman went to a hospital to be treated for kidney stones. She ended up losing her arms and legs, and is suing the hospital district and her doctors, Miami television station WPLG reported.

On the witness stand last week at the Broward County Courthouse, Lisa Strong, 44, described the beginning of the illness that sent her to a hospital in 2004.

"I started feeling pain in my back and my stomach, sort of, and it got worse immediately, bad," Strong said. "I felt sick. I felt feverish, so I called my boss and I said, 'I have to leave.'"

Strong thought she was suffering from kidney stones, a problem she had faced before. But this hospital visit took a bad turn when doctors ultimately had to amputate both of Strong's arms and legs.

Strong is accusing the South Broward Hospital District and three doctors of misdiagnosing her condition, leading to complications.

"After that surgery, I guess I had had a lot of heart attacks, so my blood stopped flowing to my limbs, my fingers and my toes, and they said, 'You'll probably lose a couple fingers and a couple toes,'" she said.

In the end, Strong lost both forearms and both lower legs.

Strong told jurors that losing a limb was "one of the worst fears of my life."

Video played in court showed the struggle Strong goes through each day to get around her home and take care of herself and her two children. While she can walk, Strong often uses a wheelchair.

Lawyers for the South Broward Hospital District and the doctors said the physicians did everything they could to save the life of a critically ill woman.

"We're sorry for the losses and the injuries that Mrs. Strong has suffered, but as it applies to (one of the doctors), she came in the middle of the night extremely critically ill at that time, and we did our best for her to get her into the hospital and have other specialists take care of her," said attorney James Nosich.

A Broward County jury will decide whether this was malpractice or not.

Strong said she is suing for two reasons: for her children and to ensure that the same thing does not happen to someone else.
