Another one of your insightful posts. My Dad died from surgical bungling - the result of having his portal vein (if you don't know what that is - look in a medical dictionary) chopped during an operation for a pheochromocytoma - tumor on adrenal gland. Not only did they "inadvertantly" cut this very important vein - but they put arterial clampers on it and so badly mangled the vein that it could not be put back together again - and a porta cava shunt was performed - result - blood was not routed thru liver for detoxifiation - and in one year my Dad was DEAD the results of NH4OH poisoning - ammonia a byproduct of protein breakdown poisoning the brain. Every surgeon involved lied and the rest swore to it. Were it not for my medical knowledge they would have gotten away with it. While anyone can make a mistake - do NOT lie and cover it up to the family stupidly thinking that everyone who is NOT an MD has no medical knowledge.
Summation - surgeons had their pants sued off of them - we won the case - the head surgeon was dismissed from the hospital - a leading teaching hospital on Long Island.
