A surgeon once told me that there is no such thing as routine surgery, that, whenever he cut someone open, it could never be routine.
I saw the first reports of this story yesterday, but refrained from mentioning it until more details came out. More details at the link.
Walker said the victim checked into the Hampton Inn on Bartram Avenue and sometime over the weekend received the injections. She was taken to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital at 1:30 a.m. Monday after complaining of chest pains and experiencing shortness of breath.
The woman died because she believed that enhancing changing the shape of her hips would improve her life.
I doubt she came up with this idea on her own, but I suspect she would not have followed through had someone not convinced her that it was “routine.”
Afterthought:
I cannot judge her apparently desperate desire to look different. I remember growing up dork.
She is victim, not perpetrator.
