Answer Glen, I cannot tell you if it was malpractice since I am not an OB/GYN, however, it sounds suspicious that the clips were left without anyone discovering them. There may be a problem as far as the statute of limitations running. The statute of limitations is the time period to file a lawsuit. It depends where the surgery occurred. Very truly yours, Paul D.
