A mother lost her child, and the consensus here seems to be that she’s negligent because the surgery involved her daughter’s breasts and that she’s a greedy b!tch because she took a settlement. I’m often appalled by the lack of intelligence and lack of empathy displayed here, but this is a new low. Yuk.
I dont think the mother is negligent nor greedy. Lots of people have this type of surgery and nothing goes wrong. But I do think something is wrong with an 18 yr old getting breast augmentation, anytime someone has surgery it is risky. And I dont think this type of surgery is worth the risk.
I think you need to read the posts again. I don’t think the intent was to mock the girl’s tragic death. Rather it was to point out how unfortunate it was because the surgery was cosmetic. And then you top it off with the girls parents being dissatisfied with the settlement. What’s the tragedy here? The young girl’s death, or the “small” settlement you received???
I think you missed the sentance in the article that stated the surgery was correcting an inverted nipple and asymmetrical breasts. This surgery was not to “enhance” it was to make her feel like a normal 18 year old girl. Imagine the ridicule an 18 year old cheerleader would get in the locker room. Would you wish that on your daughter.
I can see where they were comming from in having the surgery done, but to try and sue the doctors after she died from a “genetic condition.”
If the reaction to the anisthetic was genetic, how can they claim malpractice?
I have handled 1/2 doz or more MalHyp cases and can say that immediately available dantrolene is the proper protocol – where Docs and hospitals get in trouble is in those cases where they don’t have dantrolene on the crash carts or on the anesthesia tray.
This mom seems to be having validation and guilt issues ie: wants more of a fuss made about the fact is was HER daughter who suffered this Known and Accepted Complication of Anesthesia and is experiencing both survivor’s guilt and embarrassment for allowing this cosmetic procedure on her aspiring cheerleader daughter in the first place. After all, who would care or even know about the daughter’s ‘deformities” if she hadn’t made an issue of them.
Then, of course,t here is the matter of embracing victimhood so as to morph from imprudent mom into a crusader for reform of a self-designated ‘miscarriage of justice”
So …”The devastating sadness has been replaced by new emotions: Anger. Frustration. Determination. …” I’m willing to bet the devastating sadness has been replaced by Money. Money. Money. And an ex-husband. Seems to fit.
It seems to me the majority of comments regarding this story are not claiming the mother to be a greedy b!tch because she took a settlement. The mother is not happy with the settlement and wants more money than what she has already taken. It would be one thing if the mother were trying to get media attention to draw awareness to the daughter’s disease, but this seems to be all about the money. It is a tragedy that the daughter passed away. But by the facts included in this article, the doctors did everything in their power to prevent/stop the death from occurring. In my opinion, they shouldn’t have paid anything at all.
Gee, what price do you think the mother would put on her daughters life ?
It is truly sad the young lady passed but if the facts we have been given are straight there is no negligence hence no liability on the doctors part.

I wonder if there is a test to detect the allergic reaction-without having to have one, how reliable it is, and how much it costs.
Or is no test available and life is a crapshoot?
