In a botched 1980 surgical procedure, Dr. Norman Scott, longtime physician for the New York Knicks (1978-2005), operated on Peggy's right knee instead of her injured left knee. After she noticed the mix-up in the recovery room, he had to wheel her back in and fix the other one. She sued him for malpractice and was awarded $460,000 in 1985.
