Japan :
Doctors who carried out surgery on a Japanese man to remove a “tumour” had good news and bad news for him. He did not have cancer — but the “growth” that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.

How worthless was those doctors who made that mistake. Were they real doctors or killers in disguise? They, if alive and practising still, should be given severe punishment immediately.

Well luckily it was only a towel. It didn’t really have any dangerous chemicals in it and I’m sure wasn’t deadly. Although I’m sure it did cause him a lot of discomfort and the hospital officials from Asahi were quick the respond to the matter and seem to be working it out with him. He didn’t think it was too much of a big deal, so I’m not going to worry about it.
Still, I mean honestly, a towel? Come on...

The doctors are always negligent. But then who isnt? I’m sure most people who comment here on other people’s stories are negligent too. They do not maybe spell check etc... I’m glad he didnt die. Things could have been worse

More certification is needed for doctors to be honest. There has been a lot of malpractice stuff going on lately and it’s led me to believe that doctors just don’t care or they aren’t trained good enough. And you are right Jaiyant, things could have been much worse.
