Twenty-year-old Brazilian model Mariana Bridi da Costa, who was supposed to represent her nation at Miss World beauty pageant, had her hands and feet amputated because of a severe urinary infection, AFP reports. The operation under general anesthesia with the use of artificial respiration took place at Serra’s hospital, in the south-east of the Brazilian Province of Espirito Santo. The model was diagnosed with the blue pus bacillus bacterial infection (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), which often leads to lethal outcomes. The blood poisoning in her limbs triggered blood circulation disorder, and doctors eventually decided to amputate the woman’s hands and feet. rest of article here.
Yeah, I read that earlier today. Horrible...And as terrible as it sounds, if it happened to me, I'd rather they kill me. I can't imagine not having legs AND arms
Hey Zen, I can't tell what that is so I'm not affected by that picture. OT: Having both her hands and feet amputated is really sad, she's only 20 too.
well, it kind of says what it is. it's not there to offend you or affect you, it just reminded me of the op's subject matter.
To quote Gaston Recherche in the Frederico Passolini film “The Appendix” “Fuck you, fucking butcher! Give me something for the fucking pain!” Hotwater
Now what's she gonna do for work? I'm sure her modeling days are through...and with no hands or feet... I want to give her my grandpa's prosthetic hand now.
If Jennifer Krum can do it then why not :cheers2: http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/jennifer_krum_first_amputee_playboy_centerfold/ Hotwater
