You walked into the hospital thinking you were having routine surgery. The doctor told you “Everything would be fine.” The nurse wants you to sign informed consent papers, and reassures you that everything will be all right. You come out of the hospital believing that everything was done fine, and now you start to have post-operative complications that do not go away. You call the doctor’s office to get answers and help for your problems, and are told that it is nothing to worry about. You are in pain and your condition worsens, but still your doctor tells you it’s nothing to worry about. What do you do?
Chances are you will go to an emergency room to get evaluated. You may have a CAT scan for an MRI as well as a surgical consultation to determine whether your problems are related to the recent surgery. He may require additional surgery.

Hi Ranjith- no videos directly on that topic yet. I strongly suggest you talk to an experienced medical malpractice attorney near you for help. Doctors are supposed to do a count before closing the abdomen to determine if all instruments and lap pads are out. Nurses do the count with them.
New technology is being used now, called RFID, radio-frequency ID tags in each lap pad and sponge. By waving a wand over the patient’s abdomen is supposed automatically recognize which tags are still in the patient’s body. Good luck to you.
