If Mariela Diaz could travel back in time, she would go back to Monday morning, Aug 12, 2013, and block her teenage daughter from going to a cosmetic surgery clinic for a breast augmentation procedure.

Five minutes after the surgery at Coral Gables Cosmetic Center in Miami, Florida, Linda Perez, 18 at the time, started developing problems when her heart rate and blood pressure dropped significantly, causing her to become unconscious, barely breathing. After the doctor who administered the anesthesia tried to resuscitate her for more than 30 minutes, she had to be transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital, where she lay comatose for weeks.
