Death

When a coroner is called in!

when you receive a consent for surgery all probable complications are listed on it. when you sign the consent you are, in effect saying that you accept the probable complications listed, and explained by the surgeon. Infection(sepsis), possible removal of the affected site ( if cancerous), and death is always included, since death is a major complication in the use of anesthesia, which is required for most surgeries. A complication is any development that might occur in relation to a specific procedure.
