Hello,
Any surgery is dangerous, I have had a lot of spinal surgery and they tell you what the outcome may be,including not just paralysis but death!
My neurosurgeon at RPH Sydney told me that the closest thing to death is being anaesthetised, even for minor surgery.
But this man had cancer, his immune system would of been in a shocking state, the operation would of been a life or death situation,sadly he didn't make it.
I have a friend who was allergic to anaesthetic and didn't know, it was local anaesthetic too?..yep he had an injection to remove a deep finger splinter, luckily at the ED, he had cardiac arrest!
Geez what a shock I got, he didn't drive,never had but I took him to get this steel splinter removed, too deep for me.
Lucky bugger eh!
Cheers Billy.
