Oddly enough, there was just something on the television the other night about people who have surgeries, only to find later that something has been left inside them! With one guy it was a 13 inch piece of metal! Can you imagine?

I dont understand how things are left inside people like that, it scares me to ever wonder what would be left inside of me if I had to have surgury!!

Very freaky indeed although sadly it is not that uncommon
...now you can see the importance of the doctors and nurses counting all of their instruments before and after each surgery.

When I went through the surgery rotation in nursing school, I remember they were so careful to count everything!

Of course, I don't believe the screw was left, it probably just worked it's way out! (Educated guess by a psych RN!
)
