A lower mainland woman’s suing a doctor and nurse after a surgical instrument was found inside her chest following reast augmentation.
The woman knew there was something wrong following the surgery because her right breast was painful and was lower and smaller than the other one.
She kept going back to her surgeon complaining about the pain but he insisted it was the result of scar tissue and would eventually go away.
It never did.
So the woman booked an ultrasound and “a tubular shaped foreign object” was spotted.
Still, the surgeon dismissed the report.
She eventually had the object removed by another doctor.
The woman’s suing for costs and damages.
