This is what I learned today

Today I read an article titled "Ensuring nothings left behind"  From this article I learned if there are certain tools and objects left behind there could be bacteria that floats amongst the room and could cause other patients to catch onto that virus of bacteria. Worse than that every year they have estimated around 4,000 cases of "retained surgical items" have remained left inside a patient. What amazes me is how especially being Doctors, how careless you could be to shut something germ invested into someone's body. “In most instances, the patient is completely helpless,” How doctors could say such things Like this and stay so calm, confuses me very much, so. We trust doctors to know what there doing, and they get paid very well. They had finally came up with a solution where they count sponges to see if any have been left behind when there done with there procedures. The only problem with that has been doctors have lost track or forgot to re-scan it. Since every sponge has a barcode it is used to help keep track of who there used for and how many to prevent it from giving false bacteria or particles brought into another person.
