This article outlines the malpractice trial of Dr. John Brown, a well-known gender-affirming surgeon, who faces the loss of his medical license. An additional $2 million in damages was added to the lawsuit, subsequently delaying the trial. Brown’s colleague, Andrew James Spence, also faces charges for practicing medicine without a license. This case was filed on behalf of Julie Phillips, a trans woman, who alleges Brown’s malpractice in performing her gender-affirming surgery.
