When her face lit up like that, I just thought she was happy to see me.

How come you can't italicize words with less than three letters?

OMG That is so disturbing... just when you thought it was safe to lie naked and unconcious in a room full of Doctors.

A similar thing killed a friend of mine, except the fire went into his lungs. He'd start to wake up , feel the pain, then they would just dose him again. He never knew what hit him.....sad

"They never told me nothing," she said.

This is Alabama!

However, it is pretty scary to think you can put your health into someone's hands, let them knock you out, then have something like that happen....

``They never told me nothing," she said.

Ah yes, they never told her nothing... I just thought it necessary to point out that line. I don't know why.

/I never got nuthin

WTF anesthetic are these doctors using that is causing these recent bovie ground fires on patients especially in there lungs! For gods sake, they would have to be using ether or something (they did use propane for a while) and yes I understand that it was probably the fat content of her lesion that ignited and they should have used more irragent.

"It estimated that 100 operating room fires occur annually out of 50 million inpatient and outpatient surgeries."

So that's what? One out of every FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND operations?

Of which.

"The fires cause one or two deaths and 20 serious injuries, the commission said."

So, of the approx 280,562,489 people living in the US (CIA World factbook, probably out of date). It will affect roughly 561 people.

"Though they are considered rare ... surgical fires are certainly one of the most frightening and devastating experiences for everyone involved," the commission's bulletin said.

Tell that to people who get struck by lightning.

And will kill about 1-2 percent of them (5-11 people) (one or two deaths out of 100 => 1-2 percent.)

And seriously injure about 20 percent (112)

``They never told me nothing," she said.

So then, apparently she knows all about it.

Which also assumes that every person in the U.S. needs to have an operation at some point.

Of course, though, some people have more than one.

It would suck to go in for cosmetic surgery and then wake up as a charred and scarred monster.

Dead plaintiffs are easy cuz they're not as angry.

She's lucky attendants were present so the doctor didn't just let her burn.

I saw "Coma" so I know they do stuff like that.
