What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
3 weeks ago, my wife had her appendix removed & the doctor used staples to seal the wound inside. Apparently, on his way in or out, he dropped at least 1 of those staples by her blatter. We caught it because she just had some x-rays done for a different reason. We went back to the doctor and he did a scan. He confirmed the staple was there but there's nothing at all to worry about & it can just stay there. Removing it would actually cause more harm.
We know NOTHING about these staples, so we have to take his word for it.
Should we be worried? Should we require him to remove the staple? Just leave it alone?
