You do make the appropriate disclaimer Mark about not being a doctor. Stenum will never be able to come on to the forums, nor will any other competent or, even questionable surgeon, be allowed to discuss any patient care, surgery, consultations, etc. due to patient confidentiality. So the only thing that we will ever get is your personal feelings, and we will never know the other side of any of these stories. Not to discount anything that you do here but your biases are very apparent.
I do hear you loud and clear, to do as others have suggested as well, which is research, research, research.
I could never draw any conclusions from any of this posting due to a lack of much information from many sources. As it is, we will never get any of this information, so we can all speculate what went wrong and never really know.
I am very sorry for the families loss.
Terry Newton
