That's terrible.  I hope she is OK !

Lung collapse after breast surgery is a rare condition but several cases have been reported in the literature.

It may happen because of air left over around the breast implants.  Going to a facility with the proper personnel and equipment and remaning there long enough to catch something like this is important.

Hope your friend is ok.

Regarding the nurses, if they said that regarding the doctor, it is very unprofessional. As a nurse, when I am about to change any dressing, I ask family/friends to leave to maintain patient privacy. It's not because I think I own the place and if they stated that about the doctor, like I said that was very unprofessional on their part.
