Woman claims surgical sponge left inside her for 15 years after operation - Australia

Helen O'Hagan is suing a doctor in Sydney, Australia, because she claims that he left a surgical sponge inside her after surgery - and it's been there for 15 years.

The surgeon has retired and says the case should be dismissed because she has taken so long to bring legal action.

He claims not to remember treating her… and that he always counted every instrument at the end of an operation.
