fucking terrifying. I had open heart surgery 3 weeks ago with one of the surgeons named in the article (bavaria). My pacing wires were removed by the ICU resident (a physician), not a nurse. It's not a complicated thing, they just grab and pull. Maybe his wires were implanted incorrectly so they damaged something when getting removed? They also made it really clear that if you start bleeding during a cath procedure then they crack your chest open immediately. Not sure what they thought could happen in the cath lab if he was already bleeding internally. it's such a shame, they fucked up badly but i couldn't even imagine being part of the OR team that lost Neil Armstrong.
