An unlucky soul

A sad story about a young girl in Florida took place last Saturday. A high school senior whos name wont be mentioned, had a rare but fatal reaction while in the hospital. This young beautiful girl as she wa was undergoing a breast augmentation surgery. Nearly two hours into the surgery she had a hyperthermic reaction to the anesthesia used in the surgery. Hyperthermia is an aggregated state of heat in the body, where the body absorbs more heat than it can cool off. This is associated with heat stroke or sun stroke, same concept. The girl was rushed to the hospital and died nearly 24 hours later. This story has raised an idea in my head and I feel the need to say this. It seems that surgery has become less and less serious over the years. Plastic surgery is a great thing, but only if you need it. For instance if you have an accident and your face gets completely torn apart or something then plastic surgery is wonderful. But so many young girls who dont think their breasts are big enough say hey let me just get surgery. They dont think of the consequences and dont realize that anesthesia is not perfect. There have been cases where people have not woken up from it, or some sort of reaction takes place. So my point is, why go for surgery when it isn't completely necessary? People need to treat the idea of having surgery a little more seriously from now on.
