The woman has been in a coma since an operation in Poland according to the media review.
Beata Filipek, 57, suffered from bone loss in her jaw. She wanted implants to correct her appearance.
On April 13, she was operated under anesthesia at the private dental clinic in Lublin, Poland. The litigation costs totaled $28,967.46.
Since her aunt had to pick her up after the operation, Ms. Filipek was supposed to write to her, which never happened.
After her operation, which was supposed to last 90 minutes, Beata Filipek had to wait two hours for the anesthetic to wear off.
At around 7 p.m. her aunt calls her, but Ms. Filipek doesn’t pick up. So she decides to go to the clinic.
She finds her unconscious niece lying on her hospital bed. The 50-year-old is taken to the emergency room of a hospital.
A few days later, the woman’s brain is examined. According to the results, he had suffered irreversible damage.
At the dental clinic, she was reportedly given fentanyl and had a violent reaction before the surgery was complete.
“I’m completely devastated. I have told my children that their grandmother will never recover from her wounds,” said Ellie Mae Fitzgerald, mother of Ms. Filipek’s grandchildren.
An investigation has been launched.
