Lawsuit: Surgeon Left Drill Bit In Woman’s Sinus
A Florida woman filed a lawsuit against an oral surgeon who allegedly left a drill bit burr in her right sinus cavity for over a year. According to the lawsuit, Donna Delgado had been experiencing severe pain, bleeding and dizziness since her surgery in August 2008. A scan at St. Joseph??s Hospital in July 2009 revealed the inch-long burr as the cause of her pain. The lawsuit claims that Delgado had sought medical attention from her oral surgeon on multiple occasions after her surgery, but he declined to help her, telling her the pain was ??normal? and demanded she ??stop complaining.? The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
