A near miss is in a story you wrote a sequel to - Chapter 115 of rlfj's "A Fresh Start". The difference is that it was a young male and died of cancer, not an operation.
That does happen in a new past when Wendy has surgery and dies she knew it could happen and sent him a letter to say goodbye before the surgery.
