Demi, sorry to hear of your friend's death.

We know of a fellow who went in for a routine gallbladder removal. While in there, the surgeon nicked his esophagus and he ended up in ICU. How on earth they nicked his esophagus while removing the gallbladder is beyond me! He has been in there four months. He is now on dialysis and now they say they are going to remove his stomach <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Are they TRYING to do us in? I definitely try to avoid hospitals. I still have a family to raise.
Again, my sincere sympathy in the loss of your friend, especially under such needless circumstances.
