Routine tonsillectomy, there is no such thing. Especially on an obese child with obstructive sleep apnea. People need to read the pre-op consent. I’m sure it mentions brain damage and death. Any surgery on the airway is high risk. Hospitals promote themselves as spa’s while they are dangerous places that should be avoided. Her post-op care may have been negligent, but a post-op bleeding tonsil cause me anxiety when I get to take of one. Too bad this poor child was the one in 500,000 that do die from routine surgery.
The more I read, the more I think this poor child was a causality of quick fix medicine. You know, the if-you-have-a-problem-take-a-pill mindset that seems to pervade our society.
Nothing is ever mentioned about the girl trying to lose weight...... at all.
