On a slightly light-but-not-so-light note:
A brain surgery can result in worse still: like, surgeon performs a surgery, makes some mistake, the patient is alive and gets up and goes home, but due to the surgical damage caused becomes a serial killer.
So, strictly speaking a brain surgery can also result in a body count that is greater than 1.
Respectfully submitted.
- rbanffy 10y agoThat's a good one. Thanks. I wonder if there is a surgeon who's that skilled.

- bostonpete 10y agoGood grief -- cases 4, 2, and 1 all read like something out of Itchy and Scratchy! In fact, I know something like #4 was a story line in South Park...
- tominous 10y agoOn a similar note, there's also the case of the leg amputation that killed 3 people: the patient (gangrene), the assistant (gangrene from fingers accidentally being amputated) and a spectator (from "fright").
