What's that in my chest?

CANTON, Ohio -- For seven years before her death, Bonnie Valle told her family and her doctors she had an odd feeling in her chest.

The feeling turned out to be a surgical towel that had been left behind during a 1995 surgery and wasn't found until a year after her death, when medical students opened her chest cavity.

Valle's daughter, Jeanne Clark, says her mother donated her body to the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Rootstown, Ohio, because she hoped doctors would be able to learn more about the emphysema that killed her.

Last week, Clark filed suit against the Cleveland Clinic, her mother's doctor, Jeffrey Miller, and his practice. The lawsuit alleges the towel caused serious complications, additional medical bills and, ultimately, her death.

Clinic spokesman Cole Hatcher said the hospital doesn't comment on pending lawsuits.

Saw that on the news yesterday.

Sponges are common, but a fucking towel? Can you say WHOOPS!

My husband works in the OR and when I read this I asked him about it. He says that not all surgical towel are the same size. Some are small and although it isn't common, it isn't impossible to accidentally "forget" one.

I understood that the procedure was to count the towels before the surgery and again after, before sewing up. I'm trusting that I don't have a towel where my prostate used to be.

Not a towel but maybe a sponge, soaking everything up, ensuring that you stay full of it

Or maybe when they opened you up, they left the prostate alone and just removed the towel they forgot from the previous surgery when they had to remove that broken light bulb from your ass. No towels, no problems.

Whatever, but there is something that stops me getting a natural hard-on

and I never get to squirt anymore.

Maybe it's a towel mopping it all up before it gets out. Guys, look after your prostate, exercise it as much as you can

and take lycopene. So what's the best way to exercise it? Any opinions?

Virile young man like you--I doubt you'll have problems. If you have a prostate, it'll all work--it'll probably even feel good.

With the amount of poop that CM is always tossing around I'm pretty sure his prostate is working fine
