So I would assume she went down there looking for a Mexican doctor, maybe found a legitimate one, or not, and he botched the procedure, or she had an unexpected, severe reaction to the anesthetic. And he was not equipped to handle a cardiopulmonary emergency.
You don’t have to go to Mexico for that to happen to you. It happens in both Texas and Florida at intervals.
The difference, of course, is that had she died at the hands of a US physician her family would have had recourse and, in substantial part because US medical institutions are aware of the financial consequences of that recourse, they try really hard not to screw up.
“You don’t have to go to Mexico for that to happen to you. It happens in both Texas and Florida at intervals.”
People have been reared to put a blind faith in doctors, because rarely do we regard the competence of those who are in the position of getting us well, until they harm us. To those who sing praises to their doctors WHEN they make a mistake, because you think the doctor has had a “bad day”, or that you think it’s okay because he/she is soo niiiiiiicccce, you know NOT that you fuel in many of them, complacency. MANY of them, if not the majority, already have the messiah complex, therefore bolstering up such arrogance is not to your benefit.
If patients were allowed to experience the ‘behind-the-scenes’ realm, they would take far better care of themselves as to not have to see a doctor. At all, if possible. In the very least, not be so quick to run to the doctors for every little sniffle and sneeze.
