Default Surgeon drops instrument on woman's spinal cord

http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs...110344/-1/NEWS


This is from my local news, from the clinic I go to - fortunately, I only see a neuro. Now I know not to see the NSs there.


A freak thing sure, but stuff happens. During surgery, the doc dropped an instrument on a woman's spinal cord. Sounds like even the doc thinks he should not have been operating.

I hope she wins her case.
