Gossypieboma

Gossypieboma: noun. A surgical gooseberry pie accidentally left inside a patient's body during an operation. You would surprised how many cases of goosepieboma are reported every year. For instance in 2008 a gossypieboma was reported every 2.5734 kè (a unit of time used in dynastic China). Interestingly a patient cannot sue a surgeon on account of a goosypieboma because it has been scientifically proven that they aren't dangerous to the human body.
