There was a liposuction death at Forest Surgery Center, a Bay Area Surgical Management Surgicenter, in July of this year, 2011. A 21 year old Vietnamese female, undergoing tummy liposuction, died on the operating table, after the surgeon poked a major inter abdominal vein with a liposuction cannula. The cannula impaled the abdominal wall and ripped open the patient's vena cave vein, causing massive loss of blood and death. Being in a surgicenter and not a hospital, this mortal injury could not be treated and the 21 year old died. Instead of going home to recover, she went to the coroner. The 21 year old deceased female was said to be very thin with just a small tummy. There have been similar cases reported across the state. Be sure are check out the surgery center's safety! linda 128d7da

| 1. Written by andrew on September 12, 2011 from san jose, california, US When a great misfortune such as this occurs it is good to look at all possible causes. Was Forest Surgicanter at fault because of bad equipment? Did a bad cannula break? Did anesthesia play a roll by allowing the patient to wake up and jump around. Was Bay Area Surgical Management at fault for hiring unlicensed surgical techs or for not having adequate resuscitation plans and equipment? a |

Written by Anorhi on September 11, 2011 from albury, new south wales, AU Those papers are only for if something beyond the control of the surgeons happens in the case of a fairly simple procedure like this. If the cutting of the vein was due to the surgeon being intoxicated (for example) The waiver would mean nothing. |
