| Sandra D'Auriol, Dr. Brian Novack, Beverly Hills, plastic surgery, jump, dead, postoperative psychosis |
The family of Sandra D'Auriol have released a statement to the press. They believe she suffered a "postoperative neurobehavioral disturbance" reaction to anesthesia as everyone suspected. Beverly Hills Police Department are investigating Dr. Brian Novack for alleged criminal neglect. Again, it's as we all suspected. The only good thing is that Sandra D'Auriol was not really conscious post surgery. If she had not jumped, she probably wouldn't have remembered waking up and going on the roof. It's still such a very sad situation.
Doctors have known about post-operative psychosis for many years. They say research has shown that 5% of people who undergo anesthesia will experience it. I quoted an anesthesiologist in the first article I wrote right after the woman jumped. That anesthesiologist said some people wake up frightened, combative. He said he'd even been punched before. The doctor needs to be there when they come to so they can give them a sedative if needed. I personally feel Dr. Brian Novack and his staff were negligent.
Police have now launched an investigation into the incident. Lt. Lincoln Hoshino of the Beverly Hills Police Department told The Daily News: "We are conducting an investigation to determine whether or not there was criminal negligence in the matter, other than that, everything else is under the (coroner’s jurisdiction)."
Her family have released a statement saying they believe her fall is linked to a "postoperative neurobehavioral disturbance".
They said: “We understand that throughout the psychotic incident, the Sandra we knew and loved for her calm, positive disposition never regained consciousness. We draw some comfort from that fact.
“Sandra’s daughters feel that awareness of the risks of post-operative psychosis when planning for surgery involving full anaesthesia may help others avoid a similar tragedy.”
“This is a devastating time for us as we mourn the loss of a beloved mother, wife, daughter and sister. The overwhelming support we are receiving from all corners of the globe also reminds us of how she touched so many lives.
“The grief of her friends and all that knew her matches our own. This outpouring of love and support gives us the strength needed to celebrate her legacy."
