Needle Allegedly Left Inside Uterus Causes Mother To Feel Agonizing Pain After Cesarean Section
A needle was allegedly left inside the mother’s uterus which caused her to feel agonizing pain after giving birth via cesarean section (C-section).
This incident is similar to a previous article where a lady patient in the Philippines discovered a gauze and gloves inside her stomach four months after her operation.
Nowadays, there are medical patients that complain about the alleged irresponsible hospital staff who failed to do their job.

According to the report, the mother of the newborn child was a Vietnamese which therefore she is not qualified to have her medical expenses covered by Medicare.
Her husband said, “She could have easily recovered a lot quicker, but…it’s a mess”.
