A woman finds out 17 years after a woman underwent a caesarean section, or C-section, that a pair of surgical scissors was left behind in her stomach, in alleged medical negligence in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
The patient, Sandhya Pande, gave birth to a child via C-section at 'She Medical Care' nursing home on February 28, 2008. According to India Today, in a police complaint filed by her husband, Arvind Kumar Pandey, she had suffered from persistent abdominal pain since the surgery. But even after multiple consultations with various doctors, her condition showed no signs of improvement.
They made a shocking discovery when Sandhya Pandey underwent an X-ray at Lucknow Medical College in another medical evaluation, which uncovered a pair of scissors lodged in her abdomen.
