For 20 minutes, the assistant repeatedly asked if emergency services should be called, but the surgeon continued to say no.
It can happen that you have a partner, a spouse in this case, who is a plastic surgeon and have an “advantage” precisely because of this. But in this case, we have to talk about a very different case and very far from medical favor.
A man has been arrested for his alleged responsibility in the death of his wife. The woman, the surgeon’s spouse, suffered cardiac arrest during a cosmetic operation. Benjamin Jacob Brown, 41, waited a little too long, about 20 minutes, before calling for help.

The crime happened much earlier but yesterday, Monday 17 June. Brown turned himself in to authorities after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest manslaughter for responsibility for the death of his wife, Hillary Ellington Brown, 33 years old. This is according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.
The accident occurred on November 21st. The officers had responded to an emergency call from Restore Plastic Surgery in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The woman had a heart attack and was rushed to a local hospital. She here she passed away after a week in intensive care.
Law enforcement conducted “a thorough investigation in conjunction with the District One Medical Examiner’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office,” which culminated in the issuance of the arrest warrant for the surgeon. According to a health department document, Brown incredibly allowed his wife, who had no medical training, to prepare the anesthesia and IV bags, and authorized her to take “a handful” of pills, including Valium, before the operation.

During the surgery, Hillary reportedly communicated that her vision was getting blurry and told Dr. Brown that it was starting to see “orange”. However, “Dr. Brown continued to inject lidocaine/xylocaine into the face” of the patient. When the woman began to feel cardiac arrest coming on, a medical assistant asked Dr. Brown if they should call 911.
Over the next 20 minutes, the assistant asked if help should be called. The surgeon continued to say no. Hillary’s father stated how the doctor’s “ego and arrogance” caused the tragic end of his daughter. The plastic surgeon is currently detained at the Santa Rosa prison.
