Nan went in for keyhole surgery, is now on a ventilator in intensive care......

Is there anyone remotely medical or who knows anything like this around??

She went in 2/3 days ago to have her gall bladder removed by keyhole surgery. Everyone else who was in for it went home the same day. The nurses told my Mum she had been feeling very sorry for herself, refusing to co-operate or eat and she was shouting out in pain. They scanned her and discovered she had some internal bleeding so took her back to theatre last night. My Mum has just said she is now in intensive care on a verntilator - they tried to take her off it but she couldn'\t breathe so she's back on it and sedated. :(

I'm just wondering what could have gone that wrong??

Yeah, I was thinking that. This seems to happen worryingly often... a supposedly straight-forward, fairly simple investigation / corrective surgical procedure ends up in something very grave. A very frustrating and upsetting situation for all your family. Hope tonight passes well for you.
