I wasn't sure if I should post this or not, but he died yesterday.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry.

Thanks you guys.

 

[me&thegals]

Oh, that's terrible.

I never really knew him. But my friend has a heavy heart at the moment.

Everyone please be aware if you experience flu like symptoms after a thourough teeth cleaning.

Wow!!! How old was he? For some reason, I got the impression he was pretty young.... to you and your friend...

Thanks free, he was 34 years old...still young and in perfect health.

That is so sad! I'm wondering.....was the bacteria already in his mouth or introduced during the cleaning? What type of bacteria was it?

So very sorry for his family......

I feel sorta bad exposing this family's loss here, but this is anonymous right? :/ I'm only posting this so it will help save other's lives.

(Thanks Bee.)

Maybe you can explain it better to us, in layman's terms.




I'm really sad b/c this is a friend I've had since high school and we were just reunited through face book. I was supposed to meet her during the holidays. The more I think about it, the sadder I get. This family was wonderful, I only remember her brother as a child.

Anyway, it wasn't supposed to end like this...he did get better there for a bit before he took a turn for the worst.

My heart goes out to you and to the family. What a horrible time of the year to lose someone, not that there is ever a good time, it just seems worse during the holiday season.

Wow that is so sad. To think this happened because of a teeth cleaning.
I am so sorry.
