Mariana Bridi da Costa, a Brazilian model, has been forced to have both her hands and feet amputated as she fights a dangerous blood infection. Mariana Bridi is now in intensive care at a Brazilian hospital.
Mariana Bridi’s Struggle
Mariana Bridi, only 20 years old, was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, CNN reports. The infection apparently spread and developed into something known as septicemia, or the poisoning of the blood with bacteria. The septicemia was restricting the levels of oxygen making it to Mariana Bridi’s limbs, which is why doctors opted to amputate her hands and feet last week. They have since had to also remove both Bridi’s kidneys, and even part of her stomach.
Bridi is now on life support and limited to communication only by blinking her eyes. Doctors say she is “very critical,” CNN indicates, and her chances of survival are small.
About Mariana Bridi
Mariana Bridi da Costa had been on a fast path to success until her health issues began this past month. After coming in sixth place in the Miss Bikini International competition in China — she placed first for the “Best Swimsuit” contest — Bridi was preparing for a national modeling contest held by the person who discovered Giselle Bundchen. She had already twice come in as a finalist to become Brazil’s representative for Miss World. Bridi had planned to move to Sao Paulo to begin studying journalism this coming year.

Where is God now? The poor girl is dead and you talk about how God can heal. You can believe all you want, but there is absolutely nothing good in this for her family.

This is truely so very sad. My heart go out to her family. They had such a beautiful daughter. But at least she is with God now. So there is no more pain.

I'd be very careful around hospitals if I were any of you, especially if you are feeling a bit ill. If Ms. da Costa walked in to the hospital to seek treatment on Dec. 30, I doubt she'd be in a state of sepsis by January 3rd unless she got an iatrogenic infection from a multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas right at the hospital.

Just a terrible story this one. So sad for her and her family. In her photos she seems so full of life and fun and to have that gone so suddenly and under such horrific circumstances is just tragic.

IS THIS ACTUALLY A MURDER CASE?
These kind of infections occur, sometimes suddenly . But in this case, there was no sudden development.
It seems to me that the doctors deliberatedly let the infection spread without treating her properly, and step by step they mutilated her horrendesly..
Here ae many questions to ponder about:
- Did the doctors with purpose poison her with those bacteria?
- Did they not care to give her proper treatment because her family is poor?
- Was the responsible doctor downright a sadist of worst kind that enjoyed seeing how much he could mutilate a humen being before death occurs?
- Were these doctors devilish moralists that regard bodily beauty as something sinful and as something that they ought to destroy?
- Or were they payd by someone not to treat her properrly, for example someone promoting other models and wanted her off the way?
