Worcestershire woman had forceps sewn inside her for three months

[super jumbe]

A HOSPITAL blunder saw a seven-inch pair of forceps sewn up inside a patient following a routine operation at a Worcestershire hospital.

Mother-of-four Donna Bowett was left in agony for three months before an
X-ray revealed the instrument sewn up inside her following a routine operation at the Alexander Hospital in Redditch.

The case was among hundreds of preventable mistakes that should never happen ? known as ?never events? ? at hospitals across the country revealed by startling new information obtained under the Freedom of
Information Act.

Her case is one of four ?never events? to occur at hospitals run by the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust between 2009 and 2012.

Poor woman, but those are 7" medical tweezers, not forceps.

I know it's a minor point, but the press should try and get things right.

When I repair cars I always check I haven?t left any spanners under bonnet, I find this sort of manners not acceptable when hospital tools are bought from tax payers money and they do not care to double check if the item is lost the person should have a second x-ray, I think large amount of compensations paid to patients is again from tax payers!!!!!
