Buat para pemuja kecantikan fisik...untuk renungan...

Assalamualaikum wr.wb....

Banyak dari kita yang sering kali membangga-banggakan kecantikan yang kita miliki...wajah yang enak dilihat, hidung yang mancung, body yang sexy, rambut yang hitam kelam...pokoknya yang sifatnya kecantikan fisik...Bahkan sampai diperlombakan ...

Ironisnya seringkali dengan segala "keindahan" itu kita memandang rendah kepada orang lain....

Padahal sesungguhnya semua keindahan itu sifatnya hanya sementara dan titipan saja. Kalau Sang Pemilik mengambil titipan itu, kita tidak bisa mencegahnya.....

Kisah dibawah ini semoga bisa menjadi bahan renungan bagi kita semua..betapa ada hal yang lebih sejati dari sekedar berbangga pada "kecantikan" fisik...

Wallahu a'lam bishowab...

Brazilian model Mariana Bridi, 20, has lost both of her hands and feet due to a blood infection.

The two-time Miss World finalist who had her hands and feet amputated due to a life-threatening infection is still in dire condition, according to her family.

A blog created to provide updates on Mariana Bridi da Costa of Brazil says the model's stomach had to be removed during her most recent surgery because of internal bleeding.

"Continue praying for her. The doctors are doing everything that is humanly possible to save her, but only God can really save your (sic) life," says the most recent post by Renato Lindgren.

Bridi underwent emergency surgery this week after a viral infection spread to her blood.

The 20-year-old fell ill on December 30, her boyfriend, Thiago Simoes, told the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper. She was first told she had a kidney stone and sent home from the hospital.

Two days later the Brazilian beauty was back in the hospital in the southeast Brazil town of Serra. Doctors then diagnosed her with a severe urinary tract infection, and found she was losing circulation in her hands and feet. They were first forced to amputate her feet; then, this past Tuesday, her hands.

After those surgeries, she suffered an internal haemorrhage and had another emergency operation on Wednesday afternoon, the Daily Mail reported. Bridi is waiting on a transfusion of the hard-to-match blood type O-negative.

More than 100 people have donated blood in her name, according to the blog site.

Bridi is a two-time finalist in the search for Brazil's Miss World contestant in 2006 and 2007. She also represented Brazil in the 2007 Miss Bikini International competition, taking sixth place and an award for Most Beautiful Body.

"We are all absolutely distraught and are just praying now that she can pull through," her boyfriend said.

A Brooklyn woman underwent a similar nightmare when she went to the Brooklyn Hospital Center's emergency room in September complaining of pain.

Doctors diagnosed Tabitha Mullings with having a kidney stone, prescribed medication and sent her home.

A day later Mullings returned to the hospital, where the sepsis infection became not only obvious but full-blown. The 32-year-old went into a coma that lasted two weeks.

Eventually, doctors were forced to amputate both her feet and hands. The infection also rendered her blind in her right eye.

She is suing the hospital.

Brazil Mariana Bridi, mantan finalis Miss World asal Brazil akhirnya menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya. Ia meninggal dunia setelah sebelumnya tangan dan kakinya diamputasi.

Bridi wafat Sabtu (24/1/2009) di rumah sakit di kota Serra, negara bagian Espirito Santo, Brazil. Perempuan berusia 20 tahun itu harus diamputasi tangan dan kakinya akibat infeksi bakteri (sebelumnya diberitakan virus-red) Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bridi terinfeksi bakteri ganas tersebut diduga karena salah diagonosis dan pemberian obat, demikian detikhot kutip dari Daily Mail, Minggu (25/1/2009).

Sebelum meninggal, pemilik gelar 'Tubuh Terindah' di ajang Miss Bikini International 2007 itu sudah mengalami kesulitan bernafas sejak Jumat (23/1/2009). Ia pun segera mendapat tindakan medis untuk memperbaiki kondisinya.

Namun nyawanya tidak dapat diselamatkan akibat ganasnya bakteri yang menjalar di tubuhnya. Bakteri Pseudomonas aeruginosa menyebabkan aliran darah Bridi menjadi tidak normal sehingga mempengaruhi fungsi organ vital tubuhnya.

Pihak rumah sakit maupun keluarga belum memberikan keterangan resmi tentang meninggalnya Bridi.

Sebelum wafat tim medis tempat Bridi dirawat mengamputasi kedua kakinya, disusul kedua tangannya pada Selasa (20/1/2009). Sebelum diamputasi Bridi mengeluh sakit pada 30 Desember 2008 lalu.

Bridi pun dibawa ke rumah sakit dan diagnosis menderita sakit batu ginjal. Dokter lalu memberikannya obat dan 2 hari kemudian ia pulang. Namun semenjak itu kondisi Bridi terus memburuk hingga akhirnya menutup mata untuk selamanya.

Mendiang Mariana Bridi pernah mewakili Brazil di ajang Miss World 2006 dan 2007. Bahkan di ajang Miss Bikini International di Cina 2007 lalu, Bridi mengalakan 50 kontestan lain dan memenangkan predikat 'Tubuh Terindah'.(fjr/fjr)
