Routine Shoulder Surgery Ends in Brain Injury for Teacher


(WireNewsFax) – A beloved teacher from Vancouver is finally returning home after experiencing a traumatic brain injury during what was supposed to be a routine shoulder surgery.

Scott Munro underwent elective orthopedic outpatient surgery last September, but did not wake up for days following the procedure. His family set up a GoFundMe page, stating that during the surgery, he suffered a loss of oxygen to his brain, resulting in significant brain damage.

The Brain Injury Association of America explains that this type of injury occurs when the brain does not receive enough oxygen, which can lead to brain damage. CONTINUE
