SCISSORS FORGOTTEN.
Pair Four Inches Long Left Inside Woman Patient. FOUND AFTER SIX YEARS. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 2 p.m.) LONDON, September 20. Mrs. De Croix, of Jersey, underwent an abdominal operation in London in 1923 and afterwards suffered from pains, which she presumed, were the aftereffects of the operation. Later the pains became so acute that she consulted a doctor, and an X-ray examination very clearly revealed a pair of surgical scissors, four inches in length.
