Japanese medicine always scared me anyways...I wonder what the heck happened to the towel count. (did they do them in Japan back then, or what?)
We used to get complaints about the local japanese OB doc in Iwakuni, because he would not do any life saving techniques to save the newly born..."was meant to be" was kinda how they thought at the time. Most of the americans wanted to go elsewhere after it happened more than once.

I seem to remember about a case in the news a couple of years back where a pair of needle drivers were left in the abd. Don't remember much more than that, but I think that it happened here in the US.
