for me, this is the worst complication associated with LL surgery.

Has anyone ever heard about this horrible outcome?

You remind me of my friend that refuse to drive in the highway because he's afraid to get hit by a truck and die. It's possible sure but the odds are so small that it's negligible.

For the surgery if you go to a competent surgeon it should almost be a non-factor ( I think the chance of you dying from the surgery is higher but that outcome is also extremely low ).

Christ, I felt bad for her! A compensation of ~200k AUD is nowhere compared to the trauma of loosing both legs for the rest of her life!
