This is the 4th time I am coming across such news. Leg treatment leading to death

@op, which hospital did he die??

Hope the leg surgery has nothing to do with COVID 19 complications ?

Probably fat embolism or anaesthetic complication which can happen anywhere in the world.

I commiserate with the people and government of Plateau State

May his gentle soul rest in peace �

What is the probability of this happening in an average leg operation?

Do you have any idea?

"Which can happen anywhere in the world " seems like a lame excuse to explain away some people's incompetence!
If fat embolism and anaesthetic complications leading to deaths become that commonplace then I think human extinction might just be around the corners.

Some quack doctors might have just goofed and I hope they get punished and not allowed to continue sending more Nigerians to their early graves!

The mumu doctor cut the man's arteries and he died of haemorrage

Is there a risk of this happening in a surgical operation done to correct a fracture that did not heal properly?

Probably caused by deep vein thrombosis. Blood clots are likely to form after surgery due to little or no movement.

It could be diabetic related..
