Japanese patient's 'tumour' turns out to be 25-year-old towel


Wed Jun 4, 3:47 AM ET

TOKYO (AFP) - Doctors who carried out surgery on a Japanese man to remove a "tumour" had good news and bad news for him. He did not have cancer -- but the "growth" that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.

The patient had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons at the Asahi General Hospital in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo left it in him after an operation to treat an ulcer, a spokesman for the hospital said.

Whoa, that towel needs to be washed bad!

I think those surgeons need to go back to the basics like this:

When they finally get the hang of things, then we will let them try the big boys version:

Let's stop and think, before we leave, if we forgot anything...
 
'Checklist' not part of operations I guess....

:paperbag:
 
The big boys version looks to be about 10 times larger than the original. Does it deliver 10 times the shock for failure too? Ouch!
 
Rubber Bands

Those rubber bands on the knees reminded me of my ACL operation. Ouch!!!
