Forceps Left Inside Patient Poked Through Navel When She Coughed
WHEN the French woman coughed the forceps left inside her by a doctor during a tummy tuck operation poked through her navel.
When she told surgeon Dr Bernard Dessapt, of Lyon’s Natecia Clinic, said that he had no need to remove the forceps right away because “another 24 hours would not change her life“.
Says the woman, known only as Anne:
“He’s still not apologised. He said these things happen and it’s just as well I’m at the end of my career. He said [the removal] was my St. Valentine’s present!”
