Mariana Bridi da Costa Tragedy

Mariana Bridi da Costa


Tragedy sorrounds Mariana Bridi da Costa. The Miss World Finalist had her hands and feet amputated after contracting a serious urinary tract infection. She had become sick on December 30 but was misdiagnosed with Kidney Stones.

The Herald report adds, "Bridi was diagnosed with a infection by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, which can often prove fatal. Septicemia set in in her limbs, cutting off circulation and forcing doctors to amputate."

This is a sad a terrible tragedy. This doesn't take away her beauty as she is still a very pretty woman, but she will not be able to compete in the Miss World competition that she had been a finalist for. I feel bad for her having to go through something like this, not only can she no longer compete, she is missing hands and feet due to lack of technology. If doctors had diagnosed her correctly, she wouldn't be going through this.
