Nothing Is Minor

A famous comedienne died yesterday, a week after having a routine medical procedure. I was never a fan of her humor because I thought is was more mean spirited than funny, but I still feel bad. I feel bad for a daughter that has lost her mother and a grandson that has lost his grandmother. The scary part is that she walked into a doctor's office in good health, only to have  a minor procedure and never walk out. According to the news, she was given an anesthetic that she reacted poorly to. That is what led to the cardiac arrest. How many of us have gone for a routine procedure that needed anesthesia? How many of us have asked what type of sedative we would be given and the risks? We just sign our name on the paper work and pray for the best.
