I have forgotten 2 compresses after a childbirth (forceps for fetal detress and episiotomy). They were released about 60h after. The patient had a fever Day 4 and Day 5 treated by antibiotics. She could go home Day 10 without any problem. Now I am in justice for thatbecause the patient declares she had been more than 5 months in Work Inability for that. Could some of you send me your own experience of forgotten intravaginal material (surgical material or female ones) and the follow up.

I thank you very much for helping me.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
