be in a telemetry bed recovering from the procedure he had done. Not sure on the pulse-ox. He had a spinal stimulator removed that was infected. He was awake and fine and they left him and came back to check on him a half hour later and he was gone. Very upsetting because it seems if he was monitored more closely he would still be around. I don't know really how to proceed with figuring whether it was avoidable or not or whether or not somebody screwed up in his case. Theres a part of my family that doesn't really want to bark up that tree and just let it go. But it bothers me.
