Pearls of Wisdom

Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about a Japanese woman who felt bloated for the last three years. A CT scan revealed that she had two surgical sponges in her abdomen. She had a cesarean section six years earlier. The article states that a dozen sponges and surgical instruments are left in bodies every day. Resulting in around 4500 to 6000 cases per year.
