Emergency Surgery After Hematoma and Blood Loss
On August 15 Shearer was rushed to the hospital after developing a hematoma near her breast reconstruction incision. She described the alarming situation .
“I was losing a lot of blood in one drain and none in the other . The incision on my back had a collection of fluids and the incision on my breast was bleeding nonstop .”
