The Peculiar Press: 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.
