Absolutely. I had to sign a waiver when they put me out to extract my wisdom teeth, saying they wouldn't be liable if I died due to the anesthesia.Health Question & Answer
All surgery and anesthetic have mortality risks. Some surgies have more risks than others so it depends on what she is having done and her over all health condition. It is not uncommon for someone to worry about not waking up. Grandma should have more conversation with her surgeon and anesthesiologist to increase her comfort level.Health Question & Answer
Oh it is quite possible that it could happen. What kind of surgery is she having.?
P.S. Odds are in her favor if she doesn't have any other health problems that complicate; however, people have massive MI's, CVA's, complicatons due to anesthesia and medications all the time. All in all though most people don't have these problems though.Health Question & Answer
