Why Aussie woman can't be flown home from Bali for emergency surgery

A neurosurgeon has warned that flying home an Australian woman injured in a Bali motorcycle crash would be complicated because of fluid pooling near her brain.

Her family now faces the terrible choice of either risking her life by flying her home sooner, or letting her continue to receive expensive treatment overseas.

Former Seaworld worker Rebecca Ode, 36, was rushed to Ngoerah General Hospital following the accident on a road in Nusa Lembongan at about 1am on Tuesday.
