Listen now
Description
A large sponge was left inside of a patient's abdomen following a procedure. The routine "lunch sponge count" never took place. The eroding sponge remained undetected for several years until a cascade of health issues put the patient back in the hospital. The patient's leg was soon amputated, and a $10.5 million settlement followed. How did this happen? Our podcast has the details.
