I don’t know if there was negligence. I read somewhere that it wasn’t a “tonsellectomy” that it was a much more involved surgery. And that health privacy laws are preventing the full information from being released.

I think it was negligent for a doctor to recommend a tonsillectomy for a 13 year-old because of a supposed sleep problem. It may have been a case of "Well, we'll see if this works." And now she's dead after receiving a no-big-deal surgery that went horribly wrong.
