One of my best friends girlfriend (of a few years) had a heart surgery last week.
Just a simple standard procedure, hadn't gone wrong in 16 years.

They can reset the counter...

Apparently some monitor showed the wrong data and they messed up.
They found out after the surgery when they gave her a shot of adrenaline and her heart beat didn't go up.
Poor girl lay there, awake, but partly anesthetized, and heard the doctors shout and cry in another room.
The doctor that was watching the monitor started to hyperventilate and got carried away on a stretcher.
That's not what you want to hear when you just had heart surgery.

Long story short, she's doing okay, but her heart beat can't go over 80 or 90 per minute anymore.
She's up for a pacemaker at her 24th.

Not the end of the world, but they had a pretty crappy end of the week nonetheless.

Makes you wonder though, how and why could it go wrong after 16 years of success?
