Cosmetic Surgery Gone Wrong: This Tea Is Scalding 🍵

The Deets

Alright, fam, listen up 'cause this is wild. This 48-year-old woman went to a boujee private clinic in Westmount for some cosmetic surgery. But here's the tea: she ended up dying. A whole coroner's investigation later, they're saying it was totally avoidable, which is a major L.

Apparently, they were supposed to give her local anesthesia, but someone switched it up and gave her the general stuff. Here's the sus part: there wasn't even an anesthesiologist in the building! Like, how does that even happen?

So, Dr. Sandra McGill did the surgery with a whole squad, including a respiratory therapist, an operating room nurse, an outpatient nurse, and a scrub nurse. But get this, the respiratory therapist, they went rogue and gave her sufentanil (that's the hard stuff) without even telling the surgeon. Plus, they weren't even registered with the Professional Order of Respiratory Therapists! A whole investigation was launched, and they plead guilty.

And it gets worse, the outpatient nurse and some other person acting as a nurse weren't even registered with the Quebec Order of Nurses. Like, where did they even find these people?! The woman died of severe cerebral anoxia (basically, her brain didn't get enough oxygen)

Dr. McGill is staying silent 'cause there's an ongoing investigation. But the Quebec College of Physicians is on it, accusing her of mad violations. Now, the coroner's saying the College of Physicians needs to check the quality of what went down during the surgery, and the Quebec Order of Nurses needs to step up and protect the public. This whole situation is sus af.
