I first thought about placing this in the Matamoros 4 thread, but decided that it would be O/T there.
I think this is considered gangrene, IANAD, MOO.
Palmer, 36, paid $12,500 last August for a “mommy makeover,” including a tummy tuck, abdominal muscle repair, a chest lift and fat transfer to her hips.
She first researched the board-certified surgeon, Dr. Mario Gonzalez, months in advance and felt confident heading into the procedure at The Beauty Hospital in Tijuana.
But Palmer, from Vancouver, Washington, knew something was immediately wrong when she awoke from anesthesia to feel her hands “basically burning,” she told The Post.
The stunned patient said the clinic’s staff told her that her hands were cold during the procedure, prompting a nurse to use heated saline bags to warm them up.
That alleged act left Palmer with second- and third-degree burns, leading to the partial amputation of her right thumb and left middle finger, she said.
