Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The following story makes me very, very angry. Why was this 35 year old undergoing hysterectomy, is what I want to know?

A truly tragic loss. ************************************* Mum dies after op Jan 19 2004 Naomi Paylor, Evening Gazette The inspirational founder of a Teesside children's charity who worked tirelessly for others has died after a routine operation. The family of 35-year-old Lesley Hanson have spoken of their devastation at the loss of the " beautiful, caring " mum-of-two who touched the lives of so many.
