Is it possible to contract sporadic fatal insomnia from a surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: Most major surgical procedures done under general anesthesia have risks, which include but are not limited to death ("fatal insomnia"), and other complications particularl to the procedure in question. Death is generally rare to encounter considering the volume of surgeries performed.
