I’ve Got This Sharp Pain In My Stomach!

I've Got This Sharp Pain In My Stomach!In Prague, a 66-year-old woman who lived with severe stomach pains for five long months finally discovered the source of her mysterious pain, a foot long surgical instrument lodged in her abdomen. The instrument was accidentally left inside her after an routine operation and when she told doctors that she was in constant pain, they accused her of being a hypochondriac and told her all they could do was prescribe pain killers. Whoever was in charge of the surgery’s paperwork and surgical tool list failed to document the missing instrument. The woman is now seeking compensation and claims that the hospital staff tried to cover up their medical malpractice.

    This has happened more than once, once to a man in Texas, and other in New York.

    Either they left it in her or she ate it.

    Ooh, I believe I saw this woman once on TV. There was a whole show dedicated to the ones who had objects left behind during surgery. Somethings are almost too bizarre to believe being left behind in a patient!
