During surgery, a sponge is accidentally left inside the plaintiff. Only through a second surgery to
remove the sponge does the pain and suffering that the plaintiff experiences end. Yet during the trial,
not one of the six people in the original surgical team admitted to leaving the sponge. For that reason,
the defendant, a hospital that employed the surgical team, requests for a judgment in its favor because
the plaintiff could not establish who among the surgical team actually left the sponge inside of the
plaintiff. Plaintiff will most likely succeed by asking the court not to grant that request because of
A) an unavoidable accident B) the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur
C) negligence per se D) an Act of God
B
