A patient was in the operating room when a piece of a surgical instrument broke off and was left in the patient's body. The patient was readmitted for removal of the foreign object. Which of the following would most likely apply in this situation?
I’m torn between res ipsa loquitur and tort liability. I know res ipsa loquitur means the incident speaks for itself, but I’m not confident about which one is more applicable here.
I feel like we had a practice question on tort liability that was similar. It seems like the best fit for this situation since it involves harm caused by negligence.
