"Doctors warned Natalie that there were risks in having the procedure performed repeatedly. For her sixth operation she signed a waiver of all claims and had the surgery performed. Sadly the doctor's fears turned out to be justified as complications arose and Natalie's immune system failed to fight a minor infection she caught during her surgery.
She is now in intensive care, fighting for her life."
I suppose that's her swift punishment for attempting to revert one of Nature's processes.
