Shobridge vs. Thomas Case 1995

September 13, 1995 Shannon Shobridge underwent a laparotomy and presacral neurectomy performed by Dr. David Thomas at Lions Gate Hospital. The surgery was performed to relieve persistent pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. During surgery, an abdominal roll was used to pack the bowel into the upper abdomen, away from the operative field. The roll was not counted in the pre-operative count of instruments and sponges and was not removed before closing the abdominal incision. Ms. Shobridge subsequently experienced significant infection post- operatively. Following two additional hospital admissions to treat the infection, Dr. Thomas performed another surgery Dec. 4, 1995, the roll was discovered, and removed. Dr. Thomas did not inform Ms. Shobridge of the retained abdominal roll until Feb 1996. Ms. Shobridge claimed damages from Dr. Thomas, the hospital, and nurses who participated in the surgery of Sept. 13, 1995 for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and deceit.
