7 year-old girl dies during tonsillectomy

7-year-old girl dies during tonsillectomy A 7-year-old South Carolina girl died one minute into surgery to remove her tonsils, her parents told CNN affiliate WHNS. www.cnn.com They specifically say she arrested 1 minute into surgery. Anaphylaxis maybe? MH? Surgeon injected local directly into a vessel? Details are sparse but it’s tragic. As safe as anesthesia and surgery have become, the **** we do is still dangerous as hell.
