A word to the wise doctor: After you perform surgery, please double-check to see if you've left any instruments behind -- say, inside the patient you just operated on.
After a woman, Anne, in Lyon, France, complained of postsurgery abdominal pains, an X-ray revealed a pair of 4-inch-long surgical scissors that somehow had been forgotten and left inside her for five months.
Anne realized something was wrong after a coughing fit when she discovered that the point of the scissors had suddenly pierced her navel. The scissors were finally removed and she's reportedly planning to sue the surgeon.
