Scenario: A Pennsylvania woman, Erin Webster, has been awarded more than $500,000 in a medical malpractice lawsuit filed after a surgical sponge was left in her abdomen during a cesarean section. Mrs. Webster brought the complaint against Lower Bucks Hospital, Dr. Richard Turner, Nurse Megan Blatcher(RN), and Surgical Technologist Laura Tedesco(CST), alleging that the medical providers negligently left a laparotomy sponge inside of her in March 2004. As a result of the surgical malpractice, Webster alleges that she suffered abdominal pains, a severe infection, bowel perforation, bowel obstruction, and digestive problems. The sponge was not discovered until two months later when Webster complained of abdominal pains. She had to undergo additional surgery to remove 16 inches of her small bowel, which still did not alleviate all of her medical problems. A Bucks County jury awarded Webster $525,000 and found the hospital, Blatcher and Tedesco liable. Blatcher, RN, and Tedesco, CST repeatedly failed to do a proper count of medical equipment during and after the surgery, according to the complaint. The jury determined that Dr. Turner was not liable.
