Words can't express my sorrow at your friend's condition.  I think it's something we all feared prior to surgery and something thought about before deciding on whether to have surgery or not. 
 
Regardless, I was warned off of Stenum by Willie B, who has posted here and if memory serves, his life was on the line at times.  From him I found Mark and the rest is history.  What, if anything, Stenum did to help him or what they claimed as their own culpability - I don't remember.  Many think they have cleaned up their act but your friend is proof that this hospital is still risky - at least in my individual opinion.
