Do people die from Tommy John? I've never ever heard of someone dying.

There is no such thing as routine surgery


My dad was a doctor. He said the scariest thing was still anesthesia.

Even people going under for simple Wisdom teeth extraction.

People still die all the time from shitty anathesiologists. And people go to a hospital healthy for a routine surgery and die later from infection. Don't go to a hospital unless necessary. They're bacteria farms and no surgery is routine.

Any money he was vaccinated! No reason a healthy 20 y/o dies from a blood clot after an arm surgery. Clot from vaccine my professional guess



How do you know he didn’t have an undiagnosed clotting disorder, which is probably about 100,000x more likely than being related to the vaccine?

Just keep telling yourself that. The FBI and CIA are your friends, too. Fauci deserves the Nobel Prize this year.

So sad. If you look at the picture you can see how proud his mom was that her son was signing a letter of intent for a college scholarship to play Division 1 baseball. They are immigrants living the American Dream and this happens. Prayers to the family.

It’s possible to mistrust all these groups/people while also not believing the vaccine is gene altering and 100% killed this guy

I can't believe all the down votes about the vaccine. I have never heard of someone this young dying from an elbow surgery. The vaccine has been associated with clotting issues and the university is requiring vaccinations by August 1st. This is a very fair question to ask.

Which is why i said dont have surgery unless life or death or for quality of life. Never said surgery wasnt warranted, just that i dont plan on having it unless absolutely have to. My wife has worked in surgery for 17 years. I am not someone against surgery at all cost, but i also am not one to gey surgery for just anything

I don't care what any medical professional says (especially any in this thread), any time you open someone up, no matter how minor or insignificant procedure if might be, you are playing with fire.

Yes. And some people die from simply riding on a plane

Tommy John is a surgery, and any surgery comes at the risk of clots

Clemson had a former RB die from a blood clot during knee surgery. Pre-covid. He had the surgery the season after leaving Clemson. Was 22 yrs old.

They don’t die “from elbow surgery”, they die from a blood clot in their extremities that embolizes to their lungs (or rarely to their brain if they have a cardiac shunt) that was caused by the immobilization and systemic inflammation in the post-op period.

It’s not “common” in youg people, but it does happen. The laws of large numbers apply her and of the millions of young people who get surgery every year a few will suffer this complication. When I was an internal medicine resident we got consulted on most surgical patients as a co-management service, and I saw 3 patients under 40 just those 3 years suffer blood clots post-op from routine orthopedic surgeries. Two of them died as a result, one coding immediately during the event.

I’m so goddamn tired of people outside of medicine taking these outliers that are used to make headlines and claiming “see, X is dangerous”. frick you, you have no goddamn idea what you’re talking about. Just admit you failed ungrad STATS and be done with it.

Google has turned us into the most pretentious, know it all society to ever exist.
