A Dallas woman is fighting for her life after she went to Mexico for a
nose job which wasn't successful.The botched procedure put real estate
agent Laura Avila in a coma and her family is desperately trying to get
her better medical care. Avila traveled to Ciudad Juarez last month to
save money on the plastic surgery, as it's significantly cheaper there.
But, according to her lawyer, the anesthesia used on her was
administered incorrectly and way too early.The clinic staff allegedly
left Avila under anesthesia for hours because the head doctor was
running late. As a result, Laura suffered severe brain swelling and went
into a coma. Laura was stuck in Mexico for 8 days before her family
could finally transfer her to a hospital in El Paso, Texas, where
doctors revealed she'd have to be kept alive with breathing tubes and
machines, or be taken off life support. The family now wants a second
opinion in Dallas but they're having problems getting her admitted to a
hospital in Dallas because she lacks insurance.Her family has now
created a GoFundMe account to help pay for her treatment.The post Woman left in coma after botched nose job in Mexico appeared first on emiratco Blog.
