Widely regarded as one of the best singers (4-octave range!) in history, The 'Sound of Music' singer had her voicebox permanently damaged by JEW doctors who insisted she needed surgery for something she didn't even have. Wiki: Andrews was forced to quit the Victor/Victoria stage production towards the end of the Broadway run in 1997 when she developed hoarseness in her voice. She subsequently underwent surgery at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, reportedly to remove non-cancerous nodules from her throat,[1] though she later stated the hoarseness was due to "a certain kind of muscular striation [that] happens on the vocal cords"—itself the result of a strain from Victor/Victoria (she added "I didn't have cancer, I didn't have nodules, I didn't have anything.")[120] She emerged from the surgery with permanent damage that destroyed the purity of her singing and made her speaking voice raspy. In 1999, she filed a malpractice suit against the doctors at (((Mount Sinai))) Hospital, including Scott (((Kessler))) and Jeffrey (((Libin))), who had operated on her throat. Originally, the doctors assured Andrews that she should regain her voice within six weeks, but Andrews's stepdaughter, Jennifer Edwards, said in 1999 "it's been two years, and it [her singing voice] still hasn't returned."[121] The lawsuit was settled in September 2000 for an undisclosed amount.[122]
