I saved up for a 'mommy makeover' — but was left with nightmare amputation
Kennedy News and MediaShannyn Palmer, 35, woke up from surgery to discover her hands been severely burned.A nurse supposedly used microwaved saline bags to warm her cold hands in order to monitor and get an accurate reading on her pulse as she woke from anesthesia.Palmer left the clinic in Mexico and went to the burns unit of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, for a second opinion.“When they told me they had to amputate, I had an anxiety attack,” she added.
She had her wounds closed with skin grafts from her thigh at the end of September and was finally beginning to heal. The Mexican clinic was “resistant,” she claimed, but eventually gave in and paid the $6,000 hyperbaric oxygen therapy bill before ignoring her and leaving her with the $2,400 bill for the amputation.
“When they told me they had to amputate, I had an anxiety attack. I was begging them ‘Please don’t,'” Palmer, seen here with her daughter Emily, 4, said of her traumatizing experience.“I’m an artist and a mom, so I use my hands a lot, but it’s my dominant thumb and I can’t use scissors or draw or anything that puts pressure on it. It’s really tough,” she said.
