Sarah Kempinska was less than two weeks away from her wedding day when she was put into a medically induced coma following complications from routine surgery.
The procedure was for the auto-immune disorder granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The rare condition causes inflammation in small blood vessels in parts of the body, constricting blood flow and causing Kempinska breathing issues that need to be surgically corrected every few years.
Kempinska, 33, is no stranger to the procedure. She’s undergone the surgery a number of times since she was diagnosed with the disorder in 2015 — but this time was different. She was rushed to at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) emergency department
