Serious question, wouldn't pre-surgery blood work disqualify someone with kidney problems from elective Pec surgery? Wouldn't something turn up? He has already stated here previously that he died on the table at a prior colon exam (not conducted by Goodrum) and the EMTs revived him.
Short answer….yes absolutely.
Part of testing would be to diagnose anemia or conditions like chronic inflammation, types of kidney disease, and most definitely chronic liver disease. Preop testing would indicate the probability prior to procedures in which significant blood loss is anticipated.
Someone dying on the table during a colonoscopy really sounds more like the start of a good joke. Then again with bhankins anything is possible.
