Giovanna Ippolito has been living with a broken needle in her spine for over a decade after an anesthesiologist left it during childbirth, discovered during an X-ray years later.
Despite experiencing pain linked to the needle, it's considered too risky to remove due to its location and the surrounding scar tissue, with unclear records of when it was left.
Ippolito expresses frustration over the lack of accountability for the mistake made years ago, as she continues to endure pain and failed investigations into the incident.
Canadian Institute for Health Information reports almost 175,000 patients faced preventable medical harm in hospitals last year, highlighting systemic issues and lack of accountability in the medical system.
