Dave Ross Commentary – Listen: Patient beware
It began with a 911 call to room 425 of the Hampton Inn hotel in Philadelphia:
“Medics responded to the Hampton Inn here. They had a female experiencing some trouble breathing, chest pains.”
A 20 year old female from England … who died of a heart attack — from a buttocks enhancement operation arranged over the Internet.
The so-called “surgeon” — who quickly disappeared — had apparently used what’s described as Industrial Grade Silicone. Which would be bath caulk.
Actual surgeons like Dr Steven Davis, advise against that:
“The safest way to really go about getting that kind of a contour to the buttocks is really to try to transfer your own bodies fat.”
And according to one report she was a repeat customer — she’d been to the Hampton Inn back in November, and was back this time for a top-up injection.
I suppose that a man can never understand. But still — when did Betty Friedan publish the Feminine Mystique? 1963? We are 48 years into the feminist revolution and we still have women literally risking their lives for a Beyonce butt.
By the way – when you search this story on Google — an ad for silicone butt enhancer pops up. Which brings up another point: the cops of course are trying to find the so-called surgeon… but maybe they should just back off.
Because here in America there’s a movement to get back to free-market medicine — and it doesn’t get any freer than industrial grade silicone in a hotel.
