Reply With Quoteno real good reason to open up a 92 year old man, recuperative abilities at that age is well near non-existent. doesn't take much of an infection, etc. to bring down a 90 year old

Was Andy Rooney killed by his surgery?
Was Andy Rooney killed by his surgery?
Saturday, November 12, 2011
by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) The infamous media writer Andy Rooney died last week after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed, but reportedly minor, condition. Though he was 92 years old, Rooney was not known to be sick prior to this minor surgery -- but somehow the medical procedure went awry, which resulted in the rapid demise of the often-controversial 60 Minutes commentator.
Whether you loved him or hated him, it is undeniable that Andy Rooney had become a type of American media legend. And while many of those paying tribute to his life after his passing have a lot of good things to say about him, one glaring segment that is missing from such reports concerns the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death.
Why did an otherwise healthy man suddenly die after being admitted to the hospital for a minor surgery? What were the "major complications" that arose following this minor surgery, and how were they able to progress so badly that they ended up killing him?
Throughout the past several years, NaturalNews has covered the many celebrities and other prominent figures that have died from things like prescription drug overdoses and conventional treatments for serious conditions like cancer. In many of these cases, their cause of death could be traced back to the treatment rather than the disease.
While nobody knows for sure why Andy Rooney went in for surgery, it is clear from media reports that the issue was minor and not life threatening. And even though nobody in the media seems all that concerned with investigating the incident further, it is also clear that something went terribly wrong during Rooney's surgery that ended up killing him.
Rooney was very private with his personal life and medical history, which is perhaps why the media is leaving the surgery issue alone. But it only seems right that the issue be addressed -- after all, if there was some type of medical malpractice involved, does not the world deserve to know the truth?
A 2010 study published in the British Journal of Surgery found that roughly 25 percent of patients end up in worse shape after surgery than they were before surgery (http://www.naturalnews.com/030839_s...). And another more recent study out of Harvard University found that many surgeries performed on seniors are unnecessary, and they often correspond with increased mortality (http://www.naturalnews.com/034013_h...).
Was Rooney the victim of a conventional medical procedure that was dangerous and unnecessary for a man of his age?

Have a parotid pleomorphic adenoma (a benign lump of some kind) near my jawline that I'm not keen to have removed due to that fraction of a chance that I wouldn't survive the surgery.
I mean, who wants anyone slicing around near their jugular?

I've heard of people who died while having their tonsils removed. With surgery there is always a risk. When you're 92, your risk is massive.
60 minutes will never be the same.

Would almost believe that if anyone would be a skeptic it would be Andy Rooney. If this was an elective surgery? Don't even get it at all! Originally Posted by musclepop

The same way that a lawyer whose client goes to jail still gets paid or a stock broker who makes his clients lose their shirt gets a bonus. It seems surgeons are not special in that regard. Originally Posted by Curt James

I'll miss the old codger on Sunday nights. Grew up with his odd rantings and memorable commentary on the vagaries of life and living. He was a talented writer with a unique prespective. A dying breed these days, I'm afraid. Literally and figuratively, it seems.
