Image description

Donald Church, 49, of Lynnwood, Washington shows the 13-inch-long, two-inch-wide surgical retractor that was accidentally left in his body by a University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) surgeon during an operation to remove a tumor, December 6, 2001. The stainless steel retractor, resembling a metal ruler, somehow slipped from the hands of a distracted doctor during the June 6, 2000 procedure. When Church complained of unusual post-operative pain, other doctors discovered the retractor during a CAT scan and surgically removed the device soon after. The UWMC agreed to pay Chuch $97,000 after accepting responsibility for the mistake. REUTERS/Anthony P. Bolante APB/SV
