legal proceedings against staff at the Dr Pascual Clinic in Málaga, who performed liposuction surgery on her

The family of 44 year old Encarnación Salazar have started legal proceedings against staff at the Dr Pascual Clinic in Málaga, who performed liposuction surgery on her on November 7th last year that led to an agonising and slow death at Málaga's Carlos Haya Hospital more than four months later, on March 20th. Encarna's brother Manuel explained how she had been admitted to the clinic "on the Wednesday, expecting to be back home again the following Saturday."
However, the operation went badly wrong, and she required a second operation two days later because "they perforated her intestines, but this operation must have also gone wrong because they had to operate again after a sudden decline in her condition, but she suffered all sorts of complications after that and nearly died. They only left her with 60cm of intestines," Manuel went on to explain.
A few days later "she started passing blood, suffered kidney failure, among other things - a complete disaster. And all the while, the staff at Dr Pascual's clinic were telling us that she would get better," continued Manuel.
Encarnación's body arrived back in her home town of Ceuta yesterday for burial
