In what will come across as a really startling development, a 30-year-old nurse has died after trying to operate on herself.

The nurse, who reportedly performed liposuction on herself at a clinic in Mexico died from the fatal cosmetic procedure. 

The woman, identified only as Carina, was found unconscious in a doctors office after allegedly attempting liposuction on her stomach, a process that removes excess fat from the midsection.

It’s the latest in a series of reports about people dying of faulty plastic surgeries.

Carina reportedly gave herself anesthesia prior to the procedure despite not having any training in administering the medicine.

She was found unconscious in a doctor’s office and died of cardiorespiratory arrest, the sudden loss of breathing and heart function.

A co-worker alerted paramedics, who tried to revive Carina, however, she died when they got to the clinic, Clinica Amper, which is located in south-central Mexico.

Carina reportedly carried out the liposuction attempt when owner of the clinic, Dr. Rolando Samper Mendoza, was not present and “without my authorization or permission,” he told Jam Press.

“One of my nurses named Carina … decided on her own to perform abdominal liposuction with local anesthetic,” Mendoza added, expressing remorse over the incident. 

“The result of this incomprehensible action was that she died as a result of the massive absorption of anesthetic that she administered herself.”
