He sued the VA in U.S. District Court last week, seeking unspecified compensatory damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Court papers say Turner had surgery at the VA hospital in West Haven in 2013. Nearly four years later, he went back to the VA with dizziness and severe abdominal pain. An x-Ray showed there was a scalpel inside his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turner had to undergo surgery to remove the scalpel. His lawyer, Joel Faxon, said doctors confirmed it was the same one. Faxon called it \u201can incomprehensible level of incompetence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VA said Monday it doesn\u2019t typically comment on pending litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, said he was appalled and stunned by the \u201cegregious medical malpractice case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have asked for a detailed explanation from VA of this deeply troubling report,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI am demanding also full accountability so this kind of horrific negligence never happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He became ill and had a second surgery to remove the scalpel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":53463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,12,25,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2737],"class_list":["post-25017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"JXDI4FS44RDJLLPGBPNMSVJ57M","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-army\/2018\/01\/16\/army-vet-sues-va-over-scalpel-left-in-body-after-surgery\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
