A major malpractice settlement in Canada. A physician underestimates the risk of twinning in Clomid and it costs $12 million:

“The physician was found negligent for understating the increased risk of twinning associated with taking Clomid to stimulate ovulation,” court papers show.

“There was no negligence in prescribing Clomid; the only fault was a failure to disclose the risks.”

“It could have been prevented because I never would have gone on it (Clomid) if I knew the risks,” said Bovingdon. The risk of her having twins was 10 per cent but the obstetrician said it was 3 to 5 per cent, said Bovingdon’s lawyer Cindy MacDonald.
