Is what happened to her something that could have been prevented? Please get more details. I am still researching and this is the first time I've heard of this kind of problem. Jerry, Southern Gal waiting on insurance >> I also want to know - did she have any major health problems before the surgery? For those of us who are pre-ops, it is very scarey to hear about a death and not know the details behind it. We all like to think " it won't happen to me " but if we don't know what the causes behind it might be, or if the surgeon didn't have much experience, etc., then we (or me, at least) begin to freak out. I am scared to be cut open and do this surgery. I am still going forward, but I am scared. I even dreamed about it last night and about how scared I was. I don't remember the details of my dream, but I think I was going into the OR in the dream. Please - if you post something about someone dying, please give us details, so if there is something we can do to prevent the same outcome for ourselves, we will be educated and know what we should do.
