The recent tabloid phenomena surrounding “The Hills” reality star Heidi Montag’s most recent plastic surgeries is a major question of medical ethics.  The star had gone through an extreme makeover of more then $50,000 on her whole body resulting in 10 plastic surgery procedures in single day.

Some say this was the reality stars last cry for attention, but in the end many question the integrity of the doctor who agreed to perform the life threatening act. Post surgery in an interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, Heidi had claimed “I almost died after my procedure.”

Speculations say that she was given too much Demerol (a surgical pain medication) and this caused her to have shortness of breath, almost killing Heidi.  The doctors and nurses caring for her deny the claims and say she needs mental help. If something were to happen to Heidi Montag, who would have been at fault? This would be a legal question for louisville medical malpractice attorney like Whaley, Mory & McDonner to answer.

Now have recovered from surgery Heidi Montag is stepping out and telling her medical horror story.  It is quite obvious to tell in recent interviews that she has had a lot of work done; many say she now looks “fake” and is “very plastic looking”  while others close to her say that the 10 surgeries in one day were a bit overboard.

Will there be more surgeries to come, only time will tell.
