Woman gets cement injected in her butt

[Platapus]

Now that's an unusual eye-catching headline.

MIAMI -- A woman who wanted to work at a nightclub started searching for someone who could perform plastic surgery at a cheap price to give her a curvier body. Police say what she found was a woman posing as a doctor who filled her buttocks with cement, mineral oil and flat-tire sealant.


...





The victim, who is not being named due to medical privacy laws, paid $700 for a series of injections in May 2010. She was referred to Morris by a friend.


Morris injected some type of tube in several sites around her bottom, pumping it full of a toxic concoction. Morris reassured the woman when the pain became too intense, police said.


Bamford said Morris told the woman, "`Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. We just keep injecting you with the stuff and it all works itself out.'"


Bamford said the victim was reluctant to come forward. She quickly went to two South Florida hospitals due to severe abdominal pain and infected sores on her buttocks accompanied by flu-like symptoms. But she left each time, too embarrassed to tell doctors what she'd done.

I dunno. I am not Dr. Kildare, but of some "doctor" told me he/she was going to inject my butt with cement and fix-a-flat, I might want to do some research. Get a second opinion. I mean, what part of injecting tire sealant into your butt sounds even remotely like a good idea?

And, speaking as a former EMT, if you are experiencing severe pain and other serious symptoms, tell the doctor what you did. Really. They may (ok will) have a good laugh later, but you will get the medical attention you need. If you are going to a big ER, they have really seen it all.
