'The foreign item was identified as a black rubber piece that was consistent with the plunger of a 1cc syringe,' said the notice of civil claim.
A B.C. woman is alleging a doctor left the rubber stopper from a syringe in her ankle during a surgery at Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Hospital.
In a B.C. Supreme Court notice of civil claim filed Feb. 29, Larissa Stephanie While said she was first in hospital Jan. 20, 2022 for a lateral ligament reconstruction and a bone graft on her left ankle. The operation was done by Younger, the claim said. Then, the claim said, on March 29, 2022, Younger identified a foreign object in While’s ankle after a scan was done.A third surgery was done by Younger to remove the item, the claim said.
“Dr. Younger’s documented conclusion was that the placement of the graft in the anterior side of the joint had resulted in the plunger being retained in the soft tissues.”
