Cynical surgeons describe anesthesiology as 99% boredom, and 1% scared shitless. "Wrong Assumptions" is about the 1%. In this true story, a healthy, 37-year-old woman enters the hospital to deliver her third baby under epidural anesthesia. In the operating room following delivery, she suddenly slips into a coma for no apparent reason. How can a routine case go so wrong? In about a million and a half different ways. This is one of them.

"Wrong Assumptions" was originally released on our Strange Daze Podcast.
