Man wants compensation for 9 years of living with scissors left in stomach during surgery

A man from Bosnia-Herzegovina has filed a lawsuit claiming that he was forced to live in pain for nine years after doctors left a pair of scissors in his stomach during 2003 ulcer surgery. Alen Papac claims that doctors at Mostar Hospital accidentally left a 4.7-inch-long pair of scissors in his stomach during the routine operation. After nine years of living in discomfort, Papac got himself checked out and the scissors showed up on an x-ray of his stomach.
