The fact that doctors are leaving surgical equipment in people or the fact that they feel they have to tag the surgical equipment to avoid the prior from happening...
yikes....

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!

You have to consider that these people are working 12-18-24 hour shifts. Just because they are doctors doesn't mean they aren't human, don't get completely exhausted and simply make stupid mistakes. Yes, they are bad mistakes to make, but I can't say I hold it against them considering the crazy level of stress they must always be under.
Walk a mile in their shoes, and then start criticizing the job they do. |

Well then the doctors doing 12-18-24 hour shifts should get some freakin' sleep! I can criticize whatever I want, and I DO work somewhat in the industry (nursing), and I know that the hours are long, but come on, if you are overworked and so tired to be so irresponsible - they need a nap. Ever watched ER or Grey's anotomy - they suggest sleep is the key to being a doctor!
I think that if a doctor is so FUKKIn stupid to leave a piece of surgical equipment inside them they should go home, go to bed and
find a new job!!
I would sue!
p.s. where the hell did this doctor learn to be a doctor, from the game "Operation" seems like it!! |

| Although I totally understand your point Theresa, yes they work long shifts and they have a demanding job, it's all true and I have alot of respect for Dr.s, but to actually leave equipment in people...is a little more then just, " I worked a 14 hrs shift and im tired". They shouldn't be working that long if this is what happens, and YES there is a shortage of DR.s, but regardless.... stuff like this gives respected DR.s a bad name weather they have done it or not. |

i dont know if im talking about the same thing but from what i saw the sponges are small, they usually use them to clean the rest of the stuff after they are done the surgery, they pour the water in to clean up all the blood and they suck it back in and use a sponge to clean the rest, its usually a bunch of them used too. Also a lot of surgeries are done just by using a camera, sometimes the sponge falls somewhere and its impossible to see it and they just dont notice... |

at any given time during an emergency surgery there could be a few dozen sponges in a person to stop bleeding etc etc.. When you think about the probabilities 1 is bound to get left behind every once in a while. |
