"A mother of two was slowly poisoned by the one person she trusted most. One doctor's mistake killed a patient—and then he tried to kill his own wife." [citation:2]A fatal anesthesia error in a cosmetic surgery office led to the death of 26-year-old Sarah Smith. [citation:10] The doctor, Anthony Pignataro, pleaded guilty to negligent homicide and lost his medical license. [citation:2] Then, his wife Debbie began suffering mysterious symptoms—numbness, memory loss, and paralysis. [citation:2] A bone marrow test revealed arsenic poisoning at levels so high that her survival was called a miracle. [citation:5] Hair analysis proved the poisoning had been ongoing, and investigators traced the arsenic to ant insecticide Pignataro had purchased.
