Re: 16 Objects Left in Man's Body After Surgery
That's one of the differences between the EU and US... Everyone deserves compensation when things go wrong only over here we would rather that difference in money went on patient care so other people can be treated, not huge amounts that are not proportionate to the accident/injury/negligence

Re: 16 Objects Left in Man's Body After Surgery
If anyone wants to see what happens when foreign objects are left in a body, tonight on Discovery Fit & Health at 9 PM ET and 10 PM ET, "When Surgical Tools Are Left 1 & 2", are re-airing, and again tomorrow/late tonight, depending on your perspective, at midnight and 1 AM ET. Great, scary stuff! |

Re: 16 Objects Left in Man's Body After Surgery
Every time I hear of a case when a prescription is misfilled, I cringe! Fortunately, I check all my prescriptions and know what I take. My family doctor's office gets the staff to write them out nicely and just signs most of them. |

Re: 16 Objects Left in Man's Body After Surgery
Just trying to place the blame elsewhere darkest angel. Nope, wasn't our fault! No sirree. Anyway, if he'd ingested them, they would have to have been located inside the digestive tract somewhere. Considering his nurse saw a gauze pad sticking out of the wound, that was not the case. Nothing should ever be 'left behind' after a surgery. Yet it still happens. Far too often. In such cases I believe all medical care needed to rectify the situation should be provided free of charge by the hospital, and the offending doctor to fix it without compensation. Then a 20k fee for emotional damage. None of this BS multi million dollar frivolous lawsuits. |

Re: 16 Objects Left in Man's Body After Surgery
That was 16 in one man! Watch the show if you are in the US early tomorrow about what happens when surgical tools are left, even in children! $20,000 is not nearly enough for some of the victims! |
