Editing Wahome Mutahi (section)

==Health==
In early 2003 Mutahi underwent what was supposed to be a routine, minor and painless operation at the [[Thika]] District Hospital to remove a [[lipoma]] from his back. He had been assured by a surgeon friend, who had offered to do the operation, that the procedure would take less than 15 minutes. Possibly because of a blunder by the [[anaesthesiologist]], he went into a coma from which he never awoke. His family was waiting for his condition to improve before they could fly him to [[London]] for corrective [[neurosurgery]].
