BOSTON - Surgical teams accidentally leave clamps, sponges and other tools inside about 1,500 patients nationwide each year, according to the biggest study of the problem yet.



The mistakes largely result not from surgeon fatigue, but from the stress arising from emergencies or complications discovered on the operating table, the researchers reported.


It also happens more often to fat patients, simply because there is more room inside them to lose equipment, according to the study.

I don't believe you're supposed to spit your left-over chinese food at your monitor because of a news story, but this one did It.

My story was better. :-(

I just saw on the news today,
a guy who had a thirteen inch clamp left inside him,
the xrays were funny.

I get SLASH's jokes.
