Usher’s Wife Went Into Cardiac Arrest Before Liposuction
Thursday, February 12th, 2009So, as you all probably know by now, Usher’s wife, Tameka Foster, was in Brazil to have lipo on her tummy, and went into cardiac arrest after being put under general anesthesia. Tameka had just given birth to the couple’s second son two months ago.
Now, everyone wants to talk about how the stomach isn’t ready for lipo that soon after giving birth, which is neither here nor there, because the lipo was never performed, you guys. The problem was with the general anesthesia. I have two questions:
1) Why on earth did she go to Brazil to have a simple, legal procedure like lipo performed?
2) Why was she under general anesthesia for lipo? Many, many doctors in the U.S. will perform this procedure under twilight anesthesia, which is equally comfortable and presents a far, far lesser risk for the patient than general anesthesia.
I feel like there’s something we’re not being told here.
