Ever Get The Feeling You're Forgetting Something?

This is the thing about the story of a woman in Ontario who suffered severe pain for years and only recently discovered that the cause was a part of a needle left in her spine 16 years ago after giving birth: It's not just that the law in Canada is stacked against her in a malpractice suit, it's that it's a BROKEN needle. It's mentioned almost in passing in this report, but if the doctors and nurses noticed that one of the needles was snapped off, wouldn't they, you know, look for it? How could they just go on with their day? How could they not check her? THis us a moral issue: Someone knew they'd screwed up and walked away. (CBC)
