Plastic surgery

A local article explained it better, actually, Seshat. I see where you're coming from, but basically the doctor had told them that she was NOT at risk for what happened. It wasn't even general anesthesia, it was local. She had some sort of rare genetic issue, I think it was - if i can find the article I'll elaborate further- and so it came as a shock in that sense. Yes, we're all aware that surgery has risks, but no one expected a brimming, healthy 18 yr old girl to die from breast augmentation under local anesthesia.

Ah. Well, that does make it different. The doctor screwed up, advising them of that. EVERY medication has risks. Every surgical procedure has risks.
