Surgeons Leave Part Of A Metal Probe Inside Woman's Vagina

This is terrible.

A woman who suffered from agonising vaginal pain discovered what the problem was when a piece of toilet paper caught on a mystery object.

Michelle Doig-Collins, from California, underwent a routine operation to help ease her heavy periods. However, when weeks later she was feeling worse and not better, she went back to the doctors' surgery.

The doctor told her she had a severe infection but several weeks' later Michelle still felt no better and would go on to find out what the real problem was herself.

She told CBSLA: "My toilet paper got caught on a metal probe." Now, all of this sounds fucking traumatic enough but Michelle was then taken to A&E where an x-ray revealed part of surgical instrument still inside her.

Michelle said: "How did no one see this? The last thing on my mind leaving that day was did they leave something in me."

She is now filing a lawsuit after she discovered that the mistake could have cost her her life.
