So sorry to hear that. Did WG cause an obstruction and perforation. She must have been in unbearable pain. Did THEY know what was causing her pain? Had the obstruction been diagnosed? I do know that an intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency because of the pain and also the chance of perforation and sepsis. Think it is quite easy to diagnose. How long had she symptoms?
