A small report on Robert Enke

The circumstances of Robert Enke’s death are indeed now been resolved and now everyone knows that the real herzkrankeTochter Enkes died at the age of 2 years during an operation.

But hardly anyone knows about the tragedy of the operation, because the daughter did not die during a heart operation, but for a Cochlear implant surgery. Lara was born with a severe heart defect, so they had to take powerful drugs, which led to her deafness. The cochlear implant should correct this anomaly, but her heart could not stand the operation.

It takes at this point to say anything more about that one is not really vital to an operation is unnecessary heart disease and child Lara today perhaps could live and therefore Enke.

Enke, incidentally, as I have just learned visited the national team of deaf people during a training session and was received very warmly.

A very fine train of Enke! I hope that he really is reunited with his Lara and make it much better.

UPDATE at 20:14 Clock: I found a small but nice link about Enkes visit to the Deaf National Team!
Robert Enke and his wife visited the deaf national team in 2007.

Statistically, it is not dangerous at all.
 
:( very sad story. If the Dr took an extraordinary risk I hope he will be punished to the fullest extent.
 
indeed, i can not bear to think what the faces and harrowing loss which the parents are going through. Funny you should say statistically it's safe' if you look at a different set of statistics, MOST deaths in USA are caused by Medical malpractises!!. ... more than car related deaths, more than knife-killing and certainly more than guns-relating killings.
soz to be off topic slightly but its bemusing when a remarks about safe by statistics...not so!!
 
CI surgery itself is really not that dangerous. But to put a young child through that sort of surgery when it's known she had a heart defect...... yeah, that was bad planning on the parents and doctors involved.
 
Wirelessly posted

This is a failure of ethics. The risk far more outweight the benifits. Knowing she had a defect, the doctor should have said no.
 
dreadful to do....i think these things happen more than we told brain damage infection etc
