I am not a surgeon but I have a friend who is, he was operating on a patient to remove his kidney then he found a laser fiber, a bad surgeon had left it inside during the patient previous surgery.

In one of my shifts as a resident a woman once gave birth through CS and after discharge and she was supposed to be healing, her abdominal cavity was swelling up and painful and the area in the abdomen that was stitched was bleeding and pus was coming out. She was rushed in when her hubby felt something was not right and a CT scan was ordered. There in the abdominal cavity were some unusual foreign bodies which in a normal human viscera shouldn't be there. She was put into the theatre for an operation and immediately she was opened up there in the abdominal cavity were two gauze sponges used to soak up the bleeding but retained after the CS with massive antibody-antigen reaction taking place there. It was horrible but thank God she lived she was lucky enough sepsis did not occur

How do they "forget" these things inside a person? It seems it's deliberate so that they will have a repeat patient to take it out. Perhaps money is the motivation.

No one can be trusted on this; some deliberately leave it there...you know, for a return visit.

There's a lot of reasons why this may happen but money is not one as this is a very costly mistake. While hospitals have developed methods to keep track of sponges and other surgical items, in practice, there are several factors that contribute to this issue. This problem is especially likely to occur if the surgery is an emergency procedure, is very long, or has complications arise in the course of it. A sponge soaked in blood is also easily overlooked in a visual inspection.
If its the same hospital responsible for the retaining of the material also carried out the removal there's no billing but if a different hospital the patient may have to pay and will be advised on how to take it up as a medicolegal issue and get compensated and the surgeon responsible for the mistake may be punished.

Our Official Doctor @[/b] was telling us all some weeks ago about how they found a big rotten cucumber inside the private part of an individual.

The individual refuses to seek medical attention early due to shame or shyness....the incident happened during the act of [b]MASTURBATION

FIRST;
I FOUND NAIL and was removed endoscopically.

SECOND was a TOY BEAD impacted at the Tracheoesophageal junction of a CHILD, which led to respiratory embarrassment.

THIRD, was a macerated Gauze Bandage left inadvertently in the peritoneal cavity of a patient who later came down with a high output enterocutaneous (faecal) fistula.
