One day after the Utah Supreme Court revived the sexual assault lawsuit against a Provo OB-GYN and two healthcare systems, one of the alleged victims is elated to share that their fight is not over.Back in 2008, Brooke Heath was rushed to Utah Valley Hospital in premature labor. That's where she said she met Dr. David Broadbent.'I didn't ask to go to him, that was the doctor on duty and he was assigned to me,' Heath said.

The number is uncertain yet but it could be approaching 200 women when it gets refiled,' said Rooney.In the Utah Supreme Court's ruling, Justice Petersen said 'we conclude that the Malpractice Act does not apply to the Plaintiffs’ claims because they have not brought an action 'based upon alleged personal injuries relating to or arising out of health care rendered' by Broadbent.''It's important to note that there are three defendants in this case,' said Heath.
