28. That jumped out at me as well.

Also, it looks like this may be the same Michael Burgess, unless there was another person with the same name practicing in the same town in the same hospital.

Still suffering from irregular bleeding and in pain, Jennie saw another doctor, Dr. Michael Burgess, in November 1985. This second physician did not do another pap smear, but did various other tests. He decided that Jennie's condition was normal and prescribed medication.
By December of 1985, Jennie could feel a hardening in her cervix. In spite of that and her continued bleeding, Dr. Michael Burgess decided that nothing further needed to be done for Jennie. In February of 1986, Jennie felt a hard spot in her vagina. Dr. Burgess finally performed a cervical biopsy and diagnosed her as having cancer.
In March 1986, Jennie underwent surgery to remove cancerous tissue and lymph nodes in her pelvic area. In April she was again admitted to the hospital because of bleeding. In May, X-rays showed changes that ultimately revealed that the cancer had metastasized to her lungs. In September 1986, her lung cancer finally diagnosed, Jennie began chemotherapy treatments. She died on October 31, 1986.
