Steel wire left inside woman after operation, court told

A woman claimed she was in pain before her wedding day and ended up in hospital during her honeymoon after a steel wire was allegedly left inside her after a gallbladder operation.

Eleanor Curtin Sheehan has sued South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital in Cork for damages.

“I was devastated. I was shocked. I did not know what to think. I was suffering for so long. This was inside me and I had no idea,” she told Ms Justice Mary Irvine.
