A friend of mine went into the hospital for a Gastric Bypass operation. 1. He has internal bleeding after surgery
2. He contracted Pneumonia 3. Hid bed broke. 4. He contracted an internal infection. 5. Hid kidneys started to fail. Having elective surgery is just asking for problems. --- John Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I believe "medical mistakes" are the number 3 cause > of death in the US.
