Part 2 – Choose Your Hospital Well …IF They Will Let You in

Part 1 – Hospitals Not So Safe Anymore?

Well….at yet another hospital in Japan, five ceramic parts of some surgical equipment used at Kyoto University Hospital have turned up missing.

The fear is, that the parts were left inside patients’ bodies.

“Pardon me, can I look inside you to see if I left my scalpel?”

The parts of equipment are used laparoscopic surgery ( taking a peek inside the abdominal wall).

There are 161 possible candidates for the missing pieces!

The hospital, bless their hearts, have notified the patients and sent them letters of apology.

“Sorry, but I think I forgot my stethoscope in your belly. Do you mind giving it back?”
