Writing in the December issue of GP, Dr. Carl Northcutt of Stuttgart, Ark., relates the case of a 61-year-old male patient who was having a catheter inserted. It was noted that a Hinch piece of it had broken off. A tourniquet was quickly applied to head off the lost piece, but it could not be found.
