Just goes to illustrate that any surgery is serious.

Especially unnecessary surgery.

The end of the write up says that only three years is the most prison time that the doctor can be slapped with. It also says that the doctor still has his medical license. To me, it had better be the first thing to go once he has served his prison time, especially if a longer sentence can't be in the card deck.

God bless you and the woman's family always!!!
