When a mother of four went to a plastic surgeon in 2002, she believed she would be getting a simple liposuction procedure she and her doctor had talked about. Unfortunately, the routine procedure was performed with severe negligence, and the woman left the operating room with multiple punctures to her lower intestine and colon.
The medical malpractice injuries caused multiple organs in the woman’s body to fail, poisoned her blood, and gave her a heart attack. After the botched surgery, she filed a medical malpractice lawsuit to recover compensation, but never fully recovered from the injuries. She eventually suffered a wrongful death.
This past May, the woman underwent reconstructive surgery to repair her abdomen, but the 16-hour procedure was a failure. Following the procedure, the woman was put in the intensive care unit at the hospital, and the family was forced to switch off her life support, ending her young life.
As the number of cosmetic surgeries performed every year continues to grow, medical errors like this may become more common. Surgical mistakes are unacceptable, and the medical professionals who fail to provide you with the level of care you deserve need to be held accountable.
