00:00This is Elisabeth Castro, a 59-year-old woman who on April 6, just passed, changed her life forever.
00:18She had a tremendous dream. First, to have a sabbatical year, and then to have a self-gift.
00:24This self-gift consisted of an aesthetic surgery that unfortunately went wrong. It went so wrong that she changed her life forever.
00:33Today we are going to talk about the risks of aesthetic surgery, the consequences they can have.
00:39We have a panel, of course, to talk about this. Welcome Dr. Jorge Díaz. Welcome Maca. Welcome Marcelo.
00:46And of course, attention to this, because Clarissa Muñoz, you also know that in the report you did,
00:55it is precisely at this time of year when the greatest amount of aesthetic surgery is performed,
01:01taking advantage of the winter months, then recovery, and then taking off your clothes when spring begins.
01:07But unfortunately, there are people who do not take precautions or who unfortunately also make mistakes
01:13in some interventions that can end up with irreversible consequences. How are you Clarissa? Good afternoon.
01:19How are you Clarissa? Good afternoon.
01:22Hello Pri, how are you? Good afternoon. I am here with the family of Elisabeth Castro,
01:26a woman who had a dream, which was to look good, and today that dream cut off all the rest of the dreams that she could have in her life.
01:33She started walking to have an aesthetic surgery and today she is posturing.
01:37The surgeon's data was given by a neighbor.
01:40What are the lessons that we can draw from this case? What is the story of this woman?
01:44We meet her in the next report and then we talk to her family.
01:50My mom is like this, she opens her eyes, looks, but she doesn't recognize it.
01:56You pay to be made beautiful and they kill you.
02:00She is already stained with blood, she is in the first and second floor clinic.
02:05She has many victims.
02:08We are from the program, we are from the program, here we are all.
02:12We wanted to talk to someone here, is it possible?
02:20The clinic of death.
02:22This is how they baptized this establishment in Providencia in this report of the La Cuarta newspaper.
02:27At that time it was called Aquarium Clinic and it was in the eye of the controversy.
02:31A young woman died in her pavilion in 2019.
02:35Today she goes back to the pavilion after Elizabeth Castro was in a vegetative state
02:40with cerebral hypoxia after undergoing an aesthetic surgery.
02:44The clinic had changed its name from Aquarium to Quantum.
02:47And today, in 2022, although it is assumed that they are not serving the public,
02:51we were able to verify that in broad daylight there are people inside.
02:56There are people. Look, they just passed by.
03:00I saw them here, there are people.
03:03And you saw that there was a person there.
03:16We will know the details of this visit later.
03:19First we will know the story of Elizabeth,
03:21a 59-year-old woman who walked into the clinic and is now in the hospital.
03:27Wife, mother, grandmother and merchant, she worked all her life in this warehouse.
03:31And to reward that life of sacrifice, she wanted to do something for her.
03:36He said, I want to give me some time, I'm tired of working,
03:40I want to make a little affection, he said, I would like to do something on my face.
03:44He wanted to do a lifting.
03:45Yes, he was going to do a lifting. That was his idea.
03:48I don't know how she got to this.
03:53A neighbor recommended Dr. Julio Cesar Cabrera,
03:56a Cuban doctor who rented pavilions at the Quantum Clinic in Providencia.
04:00She asked the doctor, I will never forget, because those words remained in my mind forever.
04:05And he says, doctor, how can I get this fat out of here?
04:09And he says, let's see, lift your shirt.
04:12She lifts her shirt and says, it doesn't matter.
04:15And he says, oh no, he said, you have to get an abdomenoplasty for that.
04:20And I said, but for the abdomenoplasty?
04:22My mother barely has fat.
04:25And he said, yes, but she may still have something hanging there.
04:28Unfortunately, my mother said it was good.
04:31How much did he charge for that?
04:33He charged 5 million for a facial lifting and for the abdomenoplasty.
04:40The day before, Solange was worried, but the doctor was dedicated to reassuring her.
04:45You know I'm afraid for my mom.
04:47Tomorrow they will operate on her.
04:49Have you ever operated on an adult like her?
04:53Hello, good morning.
04:55Of course, Solange.
04:57We have operated here on 65, 66, 68.
05:02Besides, it's going to be an abdomenoplasty.
05:06There is nothing in the other world.
05:08And she has all her exams right.
05:11It is a prevention that you have.
05:14On April 7, Elizabeth arrived accompanied by her husband and daughter to the clinic.
05:18It was the last time she was well.
05:20The first surprise came at the time of entering it.
05:23There, at that moment, they asked us for more money and we had to go to the bank to get money.
05:27We gave that million pesos to the doctor and he kept it.
05:30The rest was given to the clinic.
05:34When we went to pick her up, my mom was sick.
05:38She was sweating, she was pale and vomited all morning.
05:42That was a sign that she was not well.
05:46I went to the doctor to ask for an explanation of how he was going to give her a lift.
05:52The doctor was no longer there. He had left.
05:54With the passing of the hours, Elizabeth was getting worse.
05:57Her worried daughter was trying to get help from the people who had operated on her.
06:02And my love, it is normal for the mother to be more exhausted because she operated yesterday.
06:07They have to be calm.
06:09Don't move her much, let her rest now.
06:12And drink plenty, plenty of water.
06:14And eat well.
06:15Well, my love, stay calm.
06:18It is normal for her to be a little more exhausted.
06:21But Solange knew that something was wrong and insisted.
06:25Hey, friend, you know that my mom has been super bad.
06:28I don't know what to do. I want to take her to a nearby clinic.
06:31What do I do? Or do I take her there?
06:33Nobody answered you either.
06:35No, they didn't answer me, they didn't tell me anything.
06:39Finally, Solange decided to take her mom to another clinic.
06:43While at the clinic, my mom had a heart attack.
06:46When my mom arrived at the clinic, she was dead.
06:49My mom was dead for 11 minutes.
06:51At the clinic, they took her out and saved her life.
06:53When I arrived at the clinic and they are resuscitating her, it was bad, it was horrible.
06:59It was a night that I want to forget.
07:02At the clinic, they managed to bring her back to life.
07:05Her heart beats, but she is no longer Elizabeth.
07:08And my mom is behind.
07:10She can't eat, she can't urinate, she can't walk, she can't do anything.
07:14And we don't know if one day she will recover.
07:17You pay for them to make you beautiful and they kill you.
07:20She has been in a vegetative state for three and a half months.
07:23She is hospitalized at Barros Luco Hospital, where they visit her and also make video calls to her.
07:28Hello, mommy. Hello, my love.
07:32Honey, hello.
07:35We love you. We are waiting for you.
07:39Come back with us.
07:41Wake up from that hypoxia.
07:44Wake up. You are strong.
