my friend bill had some abalations a few weeks ago at a small pennsylvania hospital ,pittsburgh. he was in good health and worked out every day but did not like the heart arrhymias ..the operation went bad and they had to open the chest , he got infection and they also found hole in his esphogus . they put him into a coma after he had a stroke..they flew him to a big hospital and they took charge of his case. he started to improve and his organs were coming back when he took turn for the worst and went blind...Today he passed away age 68 .This was a elective procedure in which the doctor and hospital had only done 17 of these procedures. The doctors who did the procedure should be in my opinion receive harsh discipline and not allowed to practice without proper training.  Be vary careful about having this procedure...Ron
