Dallas woman brain dead after plastic surgery in Mexico

Laura Avila, aged 36, traveled to Mexico to get a nose job as the surgery is cheaper there. The anesthesia was given but traveled to her brain (instead of down her spine) and she suffered massive brain damage immediately.
Mexico and the clinic refused to let her family take her back to America until they paid her medical bills. They got her to America finally after a few days and she has been declared brain dead and is in hospice.
What a fricked up story and so sad. She died over an elective cosmetic procedure which is so senseless. Then the clinic that basically killed her refused to release her until her family paid the bill is astounding.
The clinic's financial hostage thing alone pisses me off beyond belief because Mexicans sure enjoy our free medical care and sure think they have a right to come to our country and expect us to take them in and support them.
frick you Mexico. I hope the USA installs a huge catapult so we can give your illegals citizens here a swift trip back home over our wall instead of coddling them as we do.
Not trying to make this political. It simply is so shitty of them to hold a dying woman hostage over a few pesos for payment of the care that killed her. THAT is what pisses me off.
Also, while trying to get her home, 3 American hospitals refused to take her as she did not have insurance.

Why should American hospitals have to take on the potentially expensive burden of a brain dead woman without the ability to pay for those services?
Posted on 11/18/18 at 12:16 pm to gingerkittie
She had no insurance... And voluntarily went under the knife. Yikes
Posted on 11/18/18 at 12:17 pm to gingerkittie
She was beautiful as is

So it's Mexico's fault that one of their shitty clinics botched a surgery and still wanted payment? Then is it also America's fault that there were 3 American hospitals who refuses services for the woman because of lack of insurance?

I mean...does this surprise you?
There’s a reason people go to Mexico for shite like this. It’s cheap. There’s a reason it’s cheap. Unfortunately, poor doctors down there can end up killing patients.

No anesthesia person anywhere in the world would do a spinal anesthetic for a nose job, simply doesn’t work that way. The highest anesthetic level even possible would be mid chest level with a spinal. Some serious lack of info going on here. Was it local anesthetic systemic toxicity because of absorption through the nasal passages( surgeon administered)which caused a seizure?

What do you call that?

She is the idiot trying to go cheap with plastic surgery.
Posted on 11/18/18 at 1:09 pm to gingerkittie
There probably wasn’t too much going on there to begin with.

First mistake was going to Mexico for any type of surgery.
