Oops! Hospital leaves surgical forceps inside a patient after operation

I’ve got a socket set and a bit-driver set where their respective cases both have designated spaces to hold each & every piece. Just because they’re set up this way, I’m good about putting each thing back whence it came, as opposed to the loose screwdrivers wrenches etc. that just get tossed back into the tool drawer.

But for the past couple of years, I’m not the only one who uses the tools. The bit-driver set has been missing a couple of Torx bits for a while; I found one in the driveway the other day (where Mom could run over it, and get it lodged into her tire on her way to her 7am shift). I’m looking across the table at the culprit right now

When I saw the headline, I was going to reply “this really isn’t that unusual” except, yeah, usually it’s gauze/sponge, and not a utensil.
