WOMAN ALLEGES SURGEON LEFT MATERIALS IN HER BODY 150 150 Dan Frith

A Baltimore woman has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against an Owings Mills gynecologist and Sinai Hospital, saying that the surgical team left sponges, gauze, fabric and plastic inside her abdomen during an operation six years ago. We have handled a number of these suits and it happens more frequently than it should.

LaShawn McClary, 40, is seeking $5 million for the medical errors, which damaged her bowels, ovaries and fallopian tubes, according to the lawsuit.
