Surgical Instrument Left In Patient

Philadelphia Surgical Instrument Malpractice Lawyer

Malpractice Involving Retained Surgical Instruments

Surgeons and staff are supposed to count surgical instruments before and after surgery. Unfortunately, mistakes are made and instruments and sponges are left in patients. The results can be deadly. Serious and life-threatening infection, perforation of the bowel or another organ, toxic shock, and severe pain and suffering can result when any foreign bodies are left in a patient after surgery.

In the best case scenario, someone who has had a surgical instrument left in his or her body may have to undergo the risks and pain involved with a subsequent surgery to remove a sponge, surgical clip, scalpel, forceps, retractor or other object. In other cases, the consequence may be sepsis, organ failure and death. Even if recovery is possible after a surgical instrument is left in a patient, it is often a long, painful and extremely expensive process.

My friend told me that [MyPhillyLawyer] was a very reliable company and that they take care of everything. Attorney Dean I. Weitzman was always on top of everything. He was very efficient and he made me really comfortable. I didn't know what to do and how it all works. He was very helpful. I did not have to worry about anything. They did it all very professionally. There were no problems whatsoever.

What impressed me most is that I called him [Dean I. Weitzman] and told him I wanted to come and see him. He said "No, you were in an accident and I will come and see you." He came the next day. We've been friends ever since. I call him if I have a problem, and he calls me back. I tell him you are like my son. I never had to go anywhere on my own. He always said "I will pick you up and take you there." That's what I love about him.

After talking with him [Dean I. Weitzman] on the radio, he gave me some good insights on what could happen next. As a person, he just seemed like he knew you for a long time. He made you feel like he was raised up in your neighborhood. He had someone from his office contact me periodically to let me know what was happening.
