I dont know how common it is for surgeons to make such mistakes
When you have major surgeries, you'll have a "team leader" whose responsibility is to do the major complicated work.
Once that's done, the remainder is left to the subordinates to do the clean up stuff such as sewing up the patient and insuring the pliers and screw drivers weren't left inside........

Well, yes, sort of.

Home video? Did they offer the family popcorn as they watched? Nope? No wonder they’re pissed.

Carson must be threatening someone’s chances at the nomination.

This has FioRINO's fingerprints all over it.

According to at least six malpractice lawsuits against Carson obtained by The ENQUIRER. OK so over the course of a nearly 40 year career as a doctor, and after probably tens of thousands of operations, the best they can do is come up with six malpractice suits which may or may not be valid? Really?

So to be clear: The accusation results in the conclusion that the difference between a person leaving a sponge in the brain cavity and a person with a sponge in the brain cavity is that the former cannot be president.

Carson must be threatening someones chances at the nomination. Which means that the person feeling threatened must currently have an even slimmer chance of being president than Carson has. That narrows it down to...about a dozen suspects.
To: lee martell
It’s reaching and in reality is nothing. A doctor being sued is common as pie. It doesn’t even need to be valid, people get paid off to go away because of the high lawyer fees. I’ve also heard how common it is for something to get left inside a patient. With all the pads and blood it’s, unfortunately, not surprising.
...I’m waiting for the infidelity “stories”, seems to be the lefts favorite “go to” strategy when they fear a male conservative - even if only with the “unnamed accusers”.

It’s a 1-2 punch. Next week they will go after Carson for his extremely high level of campaign expenses. The GOPe will get their Designated Loser by hook or by crook.

I'll bet he also left a retractor inside. And a Junior Mint.

Small potatoes compared to the political malfeasance committed by most of the jokers in Washington.

This is why every piece of equipment is counted before and after surgery. You’d be surprised what gets left in there.
Also, something to consider, malpractice suits are brought almost as a matter of course, every MD/DMD/OD any doctor has had at least one brought against them. Quite frankly 6 is a kind of low number (given the literally thousands of pts he’s operated on in his career).
All of this is not meant to excuse leaving a sponge in someone’s brain nor am I saying the 6 malpractice suits aren’t genuine.
Just some points to consider, for perspective.
