Ramazan Ak, a 45-year-old man who underwent a rhinoplasty at a private hospital in Tuzla, was taken to intensive care after experiencing complications following the surgery. Despite all interventions, Ak could not be saved. It was also reported that Brazilian model and singer Ana Barbara Buhr Buldrini, who had previously undergone a liposuction procedure at the same hospital, had lost her life.
Ramazan Ak, a lathe operator who is married and a father of three, went to a private hospital in İçmeler, where he had previously made an appointment for a nose surgery, around 12:00. He was taken to the service approximately 6 hours after the surgery. After about half an hour, he deteriorated and was transferred to intensive care. Despite all the medical interventions, Ak passed away around 20:00.
"MY BROTHER DIED DUE TO EQUIPMENT INSUFFICIENCY" Ekrem Ak, Ramazan Ak's older brother, said, "He went into surgery around 12:00. He came out around 17:10. He was taken to a normal room. When he was taken to the normal room, his condition was normal and stable. He was trying to wake up from anesthesia. The doctor came about 10 minutes later. We saw it like that. He told the nurse that he would give him serum medication. They explained that, and then they left. After that, no one came in for half an hour. No one checked the patient's condition. Half an hour later, while our patient was trying to wake up from normal anesthesia, a spasm and deterioration occurred. We experienced the deterioration live. His daughter was also there. We pressed the call button. The nurse ran to the desk. My niece called her. They came urgently. They intervened by taking us out of there. But there was a lack of team and equipment. There were no cardiology specialists there. They provided remote online support. They had started an operation this way. The doctor who started the operation also had another workplace and was performing surgeries in the operating room there. I don't know how they do it. I mean, I saw a caregiver or a cleaner trying to carry medication, trying to do something." he said.
"THEY TOOK MY BROTHER AWAY FROM US" Ak said, "Then they took him to intensive care. After 1-1.5 hours, they made a statement to us. They said his heart had stopped. They intubated him and managed to restart his heart, but they said his blood pressure did not return to normal, so his heart rhythms did not stabilize. They said the situation was critical. I asked if you have a cardiology department here? They said they were getting remote support. They said it was not our fault. They informed us of his death at 20:50 last night. They said his heart had stopped and that he had suffered a heart attack. I reported it to the prosecutor's office thinking it was a suspicious death. My brother's body has been autopsied at the Forensic Medicine Institution, and the procedures have been completed. I will pick it up shortly. I stated that I have filed a complaint against the hospital and the doctors if they are guilty and if there was any negligence. We already know that a Brazilian model or actress died after a liposuction operation at this hospital. It has been published on the internet. But as hospital staff, they are very relaxed and shameless. When we filed a complaint against the hospital, they acted quite relaxed, laughing, etc. I distanced myself a bit from there. Because I held myself back. I didn't want to touch anyone, say anything, or harm anyone. This is the situation. The hospital took my brother away from us. But I hope that in the future, none of our patients or their relatives will experience this pain," he said.
THE BRAZILIAN MODEL HAD DIED It was learned that Brazilian model and singer Ana Barbara Buhr Buldrini had also passed away after undergoing liposuction surgery at the same hospital. The hospital management did not make a statement.
