I agree with you, in order to know the amount of equipment before and after the surgery operation. The number of instruments must be the same.

Indeed, this is difficult to be trusted, but you must believe that this incident happened more than once in the entire world.

To tell you the truth it is quite simple. The answer is that as humans mistakes happen. I don't know that you have ever been awake in an operating room when everything is going on all at once. I have been there in a professional manner. The person responsible for doing the "counts" (they count number of instruments, gauze, etc. started out with during the surgery and again after the surgery is over)can make a mistake in either writing down the total or counting it in the first place. When you are in a small room with bright lights and funny smells and all sorts of people talking at once and often the surgeons favorite music playing, and often people working who are overworked and under rested it is easy to make a mistake after all to err is human. Just think how mentally exhausting your job can be on a hectic day and multiply that by 10 and you might understand what it is like in a busy OR room but to be honest you have to have been there to really know what it is like. And NO watching all your favorite episodes of House, ER, and Grey's Anatomy show nothing like the real deal. Unfortunately mistakes happen the problem comes when people refuse to be accountable for said mistakes and even fathom the idea that a mistake like that could have happened during their shift. I know that where I work there are 3 seperate people that have to do counts before and after the surgery to ensure that nothing is missed. The counts have to be the same at the beginning and at the end. Nothing can be overlooked.
