Mrs Abbott was suffering from a fibroid tumour she further consulted a specialist, Mr. Ryall, who informed her that an operation was necessary, which he performed on November 5th. There were present at the operation, which was an extremely complicated one, two doctors and two nurses in addition to the defendant. The patient subsequently suffered great pain continuously till the following March; later a lump appeared in her side and Dr Dixon advised her to see Mr Ryall. She could not keep the appointment owing to the severe pain she was experiencing at the time, but having left Palmer's Green and gone to live in Hunter Street, she consulted Dr O'Donnell, who suspected the presence of a foreign body in the alimentary canal, and administered doses of olive oil. In October she passed a large swab which was quite hard and stiff. The next day Mr Abbott called on the defendant and showed him the swab, he at first had no recollection of using the swab, but subsequently (presumably on reference to his notes of the case) said that he inserted it intentionally, and that to have removed it at the time of the operation would have been to endanger the plaintiff's life. The learned counsel for the plaintiff, Mr F E Smith, K.C., stated that none of those who were present at the time of the operation knew that the swab was there. |
