misunderstanding

I am receiving plastic surgery at the end of this year. So yesterday I was talking about it to a friend and a few hours later she called me up to tell me that a girl died from a boob job. After hearing this I started searching the computer to see why she passed away, was it a doctors fault? It turned out she had a bad reaction to the Anesthesia. When you go under Anesthesia your metabolism is supposed to decrease but this girls increased. The doctors noticed this and gave her an antidote used for malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia makes the patient's heart rate rise, the metabolism increase, muscles become rigid, and could even give the patient a fever of over 110 degrees F. Between only one in five thousand and one in sixtyfive thousand of these incidents occur according to a website on the disorder. The girl passed away within twentyfour hours. So therefore she didn't pass away because of the cosmetic surgery, it wasn't the surgeons fault. The same thing could have happened if she would have ever had to undergo Anesthesia.
