I heard someone had a serious complication

I was told about a lady that had a very serious complication. The person that told me talked to the patient about the situation, but I just wanted to get some advise from people on here who might be able to help me with a decision. The lady had a leak after her lap surgery. she went to have her stitches removed from her incisions and she told them she had been in dicomfort and the leakage didn't look right. they took her to surgery and found a bad leak and had real bad abcess and a lot of infection. she almost died in surgery . they removed the staples and now she is on a feeding tube for at least 2 to 3 months and not to go back to work for about 6 months. the family of course blames the surgeon and refuses to let him see her or talk to them. I am scared because he is the surgeon I am suppose to see on the 18th of this month for consultation. I have only heard good things about him before this from testimonials from his patients at this site. my doctor says he is a very good surgeon , but of course this scares the pants off of me. does this mean he is a bad surgeon and I could be in the same situation? any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks
