| مستخلص: |
The article discusses a court case wherein the trial court denied the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, which the plaintiff brought under the doctrine of Res Ipsa Loquitor (RIL). In the case of Baxter v. Ash Samaritan Hospital LLC, the plaintiff Secily Baxter sued the hospital nurses and the doctor who performed her caesarian section delivery, when it was found that a surgical sponge was left inside her body. She alleged that the surgical sponge caused her injuries that ultimately resulted in the death of her baby. |
