A Tennessee woman won a $3.45 million lawsuit after she was left with a "completely unnecessary" and "permanent" disfigurement from surgery.

Kellianne Goodnight said doctors at the Chattanooga Skin and Cancer Clinic on Shallowford Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 2017 removed several layers of her skin just above the bridge of her nose while performing a Mohr's surgery. The doctors allegedly told her the layers were filled with cancer cells, but they were not.

In the Mohr's surgery, the doctors would remove a layer of tissue at the crease of Goodnight's nose and face and examine it microscopically to figure out if there were cancer cells, according to the lawsuit, WZTV reported.

If cancer cells are found, the doctors would remove another layer of tissue and examine it, and repeat this process until they found a layer that did not have cancer cells.

Doctor Mark G. Tusa and nurse practitioner Sharon Ann Brown told Goodnight that they had to remove a total of seven layers of tissue. But a third-party examination of the tissues found that none of the layers removed had any sign of skin cancer, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also said Tusa "never told the Plaintiff she had an additional or changed diagnosis."

Later, after a followup procedure that lasted roughly eight hours, Goodnight specifically asked for amplifying information. She was informed that the cancer had spread, was the size of a baseball and was located under her nose and mouth.

Based on opinions that the pathologist provided, Tusa made a misinterpretation that the layers contained basal cell carcinoma, when they did not.

"Dr. Tusa created a huge, deep, irreparable and completely unnecessary crater on Kelliane Goodnight's face," the lawsuit said.

The procedure left Goodnight with "permanent disfigurement of her face as well as structural damage to the muscles which underlie her face," according to the lawsuit.

"The unnecessary wound created by Dr. Tusa has required several surgeries, and it is anticipated that she will require several more surgeries in the future to attempt to correct this medical error," it continues.

For months after the surgery, Goodnight "could not go out in public without a mask because of the embarrassment and humiliation of having a devastating and horrendous wound created on her face."

The lawsuit also said Goodnight lost her job at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee due to the procedure.

Last week, Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Michael Sharp ruled in favor of Goodnight and awarded her nearly $3.45 million, including $800,000 for past pain and suffering, $500,000 for future pain and suffering, $1,500,000 for permanent impairment and disfigurement, $100,000 for the past loss of the ability to enjoy life, $400,000 for the future ability to enjoy life and nearly $150,000 for past medical care and services.

Vice President Kamala Harris' interview drought is about to come to an end after 38 days and counting since she became the Democratic Party's de facto nominee.

Under pressure to sit down for a substantive interview after weeks of stonewalling, she agreed to a sit-down with CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday. She will be joined in the interview, which will be taped that day and air Thursday night, by running mate Tim Walz.

During one of her rare and brief press gaggles since taking over the nomination from President Biden, Harris insisted on Aug. 9 that she wanted "to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month." It took another 18 days for one to finally be announced.

As to when she'll do a formal press conference, that day may never come.

"You will not see one press conference from her in the next 75 days until Election Day," Fox News contributor Joe Concha predicted last week. 

Former President Trump has sought to highlight the contrast in media availability between the two, sitting for several lengthy interviews in recent weeks and also holding a pair of press conferences.

Harris has famously struggled when faced with tough questions in the past, often appearing to laugh uncomfortably or offering jumbled and confusing answers. 

In 2021, Harris struggled to explain a strategy for securing the border and infamously joked she hadn’t been to Europe, either, when NBC News anchor Lester Holt asked why she hadn’t visited the southern border. 

HOW LONG WILL THE KAMALA HARRIS HONEYMOON IN THE POLLS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP LAST?

In 2023, The New York Times reported that she "all but went into a bunker for about a year, avoiding many interviews out of what aides said was a fear of making mistakes and disappointing Mr. Biden" after the "disastrous" sit-down with Holt.  

Whether Bash will drill down on Harris' numerous policy shifts from 2020 to 2024 remains to be seen. Harris has turned the 2024 race around since replacing Biden, giving Democrats renewed hopes they can keep the White House after things looked grim for their party after Biden's debate debacle.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board on Friday wrote that her Democratic nomination acceptance speech lacked substance. 

"Harris introduced herself to the American public on Thursday, and her presentation was much like this week’s Democratic convention: well delivered, confident and optimistic, and mostly devoid of policy substance. Whether she can keep this up, unexplained and unexposed, for the next 12 weeks will determine whether she becomes America’s 47th President," the WSJ editorial board wrote. 

The WSJ noted a variety of "falsehoods," peppered throughout her scripted speech, including misleading attacks on Trump regarding abortion rights, Medicare and Social Security.

"Harris attempted to lay out a vision for her Presidency, but it was mostly empty platitudes. She will provide ‘opportunity,’ though she didn’t say how. She will solve the housing crisis, without saying how or explaining why there is a crisis on her watch. And she will reduce prices, without a repeat of her recent proposal to impose price controls," the WSJ editorial board wrote. 

Harris would likely be asked how much she wants to be linked to the Biden record in a serious interview.

Other topics she would likely have to discuss include several key foreign policy issues, such as Israel and Ukraine.
