A string of complications

A 75-year old woman suffers an MI, which was only the start of her problems. Subsequently she had:

i) broken ribs from CPR
ii) a broken nose and skin tears due to a fall from her hospital bed
iii) facial burns, from a fire trigger by electrocautery of her wounds.

That’s one tough hospital course.
