Blot clot in surgery to elbow. Will the media ask the question?
All surgeries are known to be risky for clots, strokes, MI, etc. Known risk and no one is forced to undergo surgery. Patients usually sign disclaimers saying they have been apprised of all risks.
If patient got covid vaccine also, that will muddy up the waters for sure. I would have put surgery off till pandemic stops...he could have got covid 19 in hospital and that could also have bad side effects also. One year of lost baseball ain’t enough to risk your health for. If he was that good...the pros will wait for you.
RIP...brave one.
