Originally reported by Gulf News, a 36-year-old Jordanian woman named Hanan Mahmoud Abdul Karim underwent a C-section procedure last month. The baby was delivered, the parents were overjoyed, and it was soon time for everyone to go home.

While this would ordinarily be the end of the story, Karim’s family soon noticed something odd; her stomach was vibrating. Compounding matters was that Karim was also experiencing serious abdominal pain.

Eventually, Karim checked into a hospital whereupon an X-ray was performed to see what was going on.

The problem?

Just your classic case of a gynecologist leaving his mobile phone inside of a pregnant woman’s stomach.

Wait, what?

Surgical stuff sure, maybe a watch, the old joke, or earring or something. But mobile phone? Curious how often this sort of thing happens.
 
I have a feeling this story is more the result of shoddy reporting than shoddy doctoring. In addition to numerous other details that just don't add up, did anyone else notice that the picture they used was a slightly photoshopped version of the IHC Medical Center in Salt Lake City? Here's a similar shot that has not been altered.

There's no caption or anything in the article that identifies the hospital in the photo as the one where the incident occurred. Stock photos are often used.

There was a photo of our house taken years ago for some local publication and friends in NY saw the photo a few years later in an ad for a house painter in their local newspaper.

Just saying that the photo doesn't really mean anything in connection with the story.
 
my source in the operating room thinks it's laughable, so far-fetched. A doctor needs both hands, and those of two assistants, to do the delicate stitching in that job, and nobody has their cell in that room. You're busy. I mean, really, really busy.

but hey, considering it was Jordan and all. . . . did they find the bomb attached to that phone?
 
Five days after my son was born via c section my wife's abdomen burst open at four in the morning from an infection she got during the operation. I spent the next ninety days packing the open wound several times a day.

With a cell phone?



No seriously that is rough. I feel for you guys. This kind of happened with my son after his appendectomy, but nowhere near on that scale

It was just an inconvenience, really.
 
The maybe my son's was a bigger scale. He developed an infection in the lining of his abdominal cavity that wouldn't let the wound close. He ended up in the hospital for another few days, then he spent weeks carrying around a drainage bag with a tube in his stomach and we had to pack a festering wound 3 times per day, and at the beginning once at night. He ended up spending a total of like 2 weeks in the hospital for an appendectomy when his appendix hadn't burst or anything. It was fairly grisly.

This is probably what my wife would say about her ordeal which lasted about six months longer than we thought it would take to get back to normal, I just accept it that she is no complainer but I know it's an ordeal. She wouldn't let me touch her wound because she's a nurse and she knows I'm not, and her standard of cleanliness beats even the hospital's by a long shot. Her issue was not an actual infection so much as inadequate blood support for tissues. Necrosis provides a haven for sepsis.

The pain meds were the worst part of it all for me. I was for a while married to an alien, almost.
