I don't know. I guess it was just a complication.

Well, the point of the story was Derek slowly becoming obsessed with not having any more patients die on him, so his objective became to keep her alive, regardless of her quality of life. Luckily for Jen and Rob, the other surgeons interfered and stopped him. I think that her dying is better than just living as an empty shell.
