poor kid had high hopes he could be a normal child again. I do wonder what kind of rare and unpredictable genetic reaction to anesthesia that is.

From what I understand, anesthesia is especially risky with the elderly and very young.

maybe they blamed it being the anesthesia reaction when perhaps they fucked up during surgery as i don't trust white coats.

You have a point there.

They try and make it sound like being allergic to anesthesia is SUPER rare - when it really isn’t THAT rare.

It is a nervous system toxin. Your body hates it and most people have some sort of reaction. It damages organs and such, quite often - which gets attributed to other things/causes.

Dikembe Mutombo is the former NBA star who arranged to have 8-year old Matadi Sela Petit flown to the US for treatment of a massive facial tumor.

Matadi Sela Petit died, not Dikembe Mutombo. Please fix the thread title. Thanks.
