A Wisconsin woman has sued the hospital that performed a lifesaving procedure on her, claiming that surgeons left a feeding tube inside her — 35 years ago.
Deborah Lowe, 60, said at a press conference covered by WITI, a local Fox affiliate, that when she was 25 years old in 1989, she was pregnant with twins. The pregnancy resulted in complications, and she was hospitalized at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee now known as Aurora Sinai Medical Center. She was put on life support, including a feeding tube.
Thirty-five years later, during another surgical procedure, that feeding tube was allegedly found still inside her body.
