British Victim of Medical Negligence
Initial IncidentSharon Burks, a British woman, unwittingly found a surgical glove inside her body after undergoing a hysterectomy. Horrified, she reported the incident, sparking an investigation that revealed a series of disturbing facts.
Surgical Mishandling
The surgeon responsible for the procedure had only learned the technique through videos. Moreover, they used the surgical glove to introduce air into Burks' abdomen. This unorthodox method, which was not disclosed to the medical team, was employed to improve visibility.
Hospital Response

Legal Action
Inspired by her shocking discovery, Burks initiated legal proceedings against the medical team. The investigation report, which contained absurd details, enraged her and motivated her to pursue the harshest punishment possible.
Aftermath
Despite the removal of the glove and subsequent resolution of her numbness, Burks recognized the potential severity of the negligence. She remains determined to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
