It is true that one should not place too much stock on online rumors. What makes that bog post helpful is that it describes the complexity of the surgery that this child had, which was not quite the "routine tonsillectomy" that the family keeps mentioning. It also clarifies her current condition, about which there has clearly been some public misunderstanding.

Excessive bleeding after this kind of operation is unfortunately not an unheard-of complication, and it could have been triggered by talking etc. If in fact the family encouraged her to talk etc., they likely contributed to the problem. But of course, as you point out, that might just be rumors. It might also just be rumors that the family failed to disclose a bleeding disorder in the family, and that the child had diabetes and asthma (as a matter of fact, those do sound like rumors to me - it's just a bit too much.) The hospital will surely have to explain what went down, but right now they cannot. I would not be too quick to jump to blaming the hospital, however. Surgery is risky, and sometimes things just go wrong, even when medical staff do all that they can. An autopsy could give some answers. But ironically at this point an autopsy might no give many answers anymore since her body has been deteriorating so much already.
