A nurse who ignored pain in her leg so she could attend to COVID-19 patients had to have it amputated after discovering that a tumor was causing the ache. ADVERTISEMENTHowever, Buenaventura eventually underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan when she began to have a hard time walking. She underwent the scan last April and learned that she had a sarcoma in her right leg. Following the operation, the nurse recalled that she was upset upon finding out that her leg had to be removed. She added that she cannot look in a mirror now to see herself without her right leg.
