With Laminar flow or Air curtain systems around the OR table there is literary an air wall preventing migration of air into the patient space. and with UV light systems, HEPA filters, good HVAC controls programming, along with proactive maintenance, this can be easily avoided.
But healthcare is too expensive!
$500 for a simple visit! Outrageous!!!

That doesn't sound very plausible to me. We're supposed to believe these kids lived a nice, mold-free existence until they needed surgery, and then they died because the OR was the one place that had mold?

I spelled it out in my post.
I don't doubt that mold can be unhealthy, but if some kid goes in for surgery and the hospital tells me he died because of some spores growing in an AC duct (you know, instead of all the slicing / dicing, drugs, and whatever the kid was in for to begin with) that just pegs my BS meter.
Is there a mold problem in the OR? Sure.
Were these children really somehow isolated from mold until they had to breathe it for a couple of hours during surgery? Extremely unlikely.
Why would the hospital lie, or at least dissemble? IDK, lawyers maybe?

you think that somehow someone getting sick from unsanitary practices/deficiencies is a good lie to protect the hospital from lawsuits?
