In Blume v. Auer, 576 N.W.2d 122, 126 (Iowa Ct. App. 1997), a woman began having chronic diarrhea following bowel surgery. She was prescribed medication to control the condition. A jury awarded her damages for pain and suffering but not for loss of full mind and body. On appeal, our court stated, "the record is devoid of any evidence indicating Blume suffered functional impairment of her body, in addition to pain and suffering, as a result of other specified medical negligence." Blume, 576 N.W.2d at 126.
