Wendi Wilson v. Christopher J. Green, DPM

Let’s get one thing straight: nobody expects their foot doctor to turn their bunions into amputations. But that’s exactly what Wendi Wilson says happened when she walked into Oklahoma City Orthopedics for a simple foot problem and walked out—well, hobbling—after losing two toes. Yes, two. Not one. Two. And now she’s suing her podiatrist, Dr. Christopher J. Green, and his clinic for at least $75,000, claiming that what should’ve been a routine treatment spiraled into a medical disaster so botched it sounds like a horror movie with better malpractice insurance.

So who are these people? On one side, we’ve got Wendi Wilson—a regular Oklahoman, presumably just trying to walk without pain like the rest of us. Sometime in early 2024, she developed an issue with her right foot. Nothing apocalyptic, just enough discomfort that she did the sensible thing: she made an appointment with a specialist. That specialist was Dr. Christopher J. Green, a podiatrist—basically the Beyoncé of feet—board-certified, licensed, and operating out of a sleek orthopedic clinic with more names than a Russian novel: Oklahoma City Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, P.L.L.C., also known as OKC Orthopedics Sports and Pain Medicine, also known as… look, just call it “Foot Docs R Us” and move on. The point is, this was supposed to be a professional, reputable practice. Instead, it may have become the scene of a medical misadventure so bad it makes you want to check your own toes for signs of negligence.

According to Wilson’s petition filed in Oklahoma County District Court in February 2026, things started going sideways almost immediately. She began treatment on March 5, 2024, expecting answers, relief, maybe even a custom insole. What she didn’t expect was a cascade of missed diagnoses and half-hearted care that allegedly left her condition not just untreated—but actively worsening. The filing claims Dr. Green and his clinic failed to run proper diagnostic tests, didn’t adjust her treatment plan as her symptoms progressed, and basically treated her foot like a mystery novel they never bothered to finish reading. Over time, her condition deteriorated. And then—plot twist—it got so bad that doctors had no choice but to amputate parts of her second and third toes on her right foot. Let that sink in. She went in with foot pain. She left with missing toes. That’s not just bad medicine—that’s body horror.

Now, you might be thinking: “Wait, how does a foot go from sore to sawed-off without anyone noticing?” That’s exactly the question Wilson’s legal team wants answered—preferably by a jury. Her lawsuit hinges on medical negligence, which, in plain English, means the doctor didn’t meet the standard of care that any reasonable podiatrist would’ve provided under similar circumstances. Think of it like this: if every other foot doc in Oklahoma would’ve ordered an MRI, run blood tests, or at least looked worried when the patient said “this is getting worse,” and Dr. Green didn’t do any of that? That’s negligence. And Wilson’s lawyers aren’t pulling punches—they’re also throwing in res ipsa loquitur, a fancy Latin phrase that basically means “the thing speaks for itself.” It’s used when the injury is so bizarre or preventable that you don’t even need an expert to say, “Yeah, someone screwed up.” Losing toes from untreated foot pain? That qualifies. They’re also alleging negligence per se, which means the doctor may have violated a specific law or medical regulation so badly that it automatically counts as negligence. And if that weren’t enough, they’re going full scorched earth with claims of reckless disregard—arguing that the clinic’s actions (or lack thereof) weren’t just careless, but dangerously indifferent to Wilson’s well-being.

As for what she wants? $75,000—at minimum. And that’s just for actual damages. She’s also seeking punitive damages, which aren’t about covering medical bills or lost wages. No, punitive damages are the legal system’s way of saying, “We’re not just compensating you—we’re punishing them for being that bad.” That’s reserved for cases where the defendant’s behavior was especially outrageous. And let’s be real: letting a foot infection (or whatever caused the amputation) go unchecked to the point of amputation? That’s not just a paperwork error. That’s the kind of failure that makes you wonder if someone was checking football scores instead of lab results.

Now, is $75,000 a lot for losing two toes? Well, let’s do the math. We’re talking about permanent physical injury, ongoing pain, emotional distress, past and future medical expenses, and lost income—both what she’s already missed and what she might never earn again if her mobility is impaired. Add in the sheer psychological toll of looking down and realizing part of your body is just… gone… and suddenly $75,000 starts sounding less like a windfall and more like a down payment on a lifetime of adjustments. For context, Oklahoma doesn’t cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases like some states do, so theoretically, Wilson could walk away with way more—if a jury believes her story.

Here’s the tea, though: we don’t have Dr. Green’s side yet. This is just the petition—the plaintiff’s version of events, served hot and spicy with legal seasoning. Maybe there’s more to the story. Maybe Wilson had underlying health issues—diabetes, circulatory problems—that complicated treatment. Maybe the amputation was unavoidable. But until that defense shows up, all we have is this: a woman sought help for foot pain, and instead of getting better, she lost parts of two toes due to what she claims was a total breakdown in medical care. And now she wants answers, accountability, and yes, cold hard cash.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t even the amputation—it’s the sheer passivity alleged in the filing. “They failed to perform tests.” “They failed to provide sufficient treatment.” “Her condition got worse.” That’s not aggressive malpractice. That’s neglect on autopilot. It’s the medical equivalent of leaving a car in the shop with a sputtering engine and coming back to find it’s now on cinder blocks because the mechanic forgot to look under the hood for three months. And while we’re not rooting for ambulance-chasing or baseless lawsuits, we are rooting for basic competence. If you’re going to call yourself a foot doctor, you should probably know when a foot is on the brink of becoming a prop in a Texas Chainsaw reboot.

So buckle up, Oklahoma County. This case has everything: anatomy gone wrong, Latin phrases, a jury trial demand, and a dollar amount that’ll make your toes curl. One thing’s for sure—when this goes to court, everyone better be wearing their most comfortable shoes.
