This is the curse of every nottheonion. The general public (or you might say, regular joes) are incapable of discerning what is oniony and it always turns into Chuck Shepherd's News Of The Weird. https://shepherdexpress.com/puzzles/news-of-the-weird
If she went to someone's home for surgery, she was already brain dead.
(Apologies for making light of this tragedy, but dark humor is required to make this world bearable)
We won't know how it looked, maybe the "home" looked like a normal clinic.

I don't understand why someone would opt into surgery at a house.
I can only imagine she was offered a low price.
That's something that bothers me in the UK. Many businesses are ran out of terrace houses. Especially dentists. They can look alright on the inside, but it really gave me the ick when looking for one and only seeing a dingy row of houses on google maps.
not oniony
A botched BUTT implant leading to a BRAIN-dead state isn't oniony? Yeah, I get the lidocaine caused cardiac arrest which lead to her being brain-dead, but my first reaction was "how do you work on someone's butt and leave them brain-dead?"
No. It isn't. Being funny or surprising doesn't make an article oniony. The Onion isn't any kind of humour, it's specifically satire. A nottheonion article is one that appears to be satire, but isn't. There is no illusory subtext to this article, so it isn't oniony.
Hi everybody!
Hi Dr. Nick!
I see our patient is suffering from Tinybuttitus but don't worry! My treatment will help you take your mind off of it completely!
Get out of here with those quack diagnosis Dr McStuffins, if you even are a doc.
So what I'm hearing is if he did a brain implant, you would end up butt dead? Because there are a lot of people who could use a brain implant and who cares about their butts.
What an ass.
