The Dark Side Of Cosmetic Procedures & Medspas

I’m speechless watching this right now. Thank you a million for interviewing me.

When I had a tick born illness and went to the ER barely able to lift my head, the doctor told me it was “just a virus” even though you could see the tick bite turning black. It was a nurse who believed me and pushed the doctor to give me doxycycline and order a western blot. Turned out I had Rocky Mountain spotted fever, the most lethal tick borne illness. I was so grateful for that nurse and so angry at that doctor. Nurses are the soul of a hospital.

I hate that Americans go bankrupt for treatment, it's awful and inhumane.

As a European, my blood boils every time I hear horror stories about people in the USA going bankrupt over medical bills. It's heartbreaking and infuriating, my heart goes out to you, you deserve the best, your advocacy is admirable! Please people donate to her go fund me if you can x

The fact that she is millions in debt for medical treatment is just as repulsive as the spa that made her sick. Receiving healthcare financially destroys so many families and it's so wrong.

As a licensed cosmetologist in CA, it's wild to think I had to go to a certified school for a year, take a standardized state test, and maintain a current license just to cut and color hair, but any ol person off the street is free to INJECT substances inside people's bodies🤦🏻‍♀️☠️

RN here, I’m crying. I bought art stuff for my unit for our patients. The care a nurse provides touches our patients and that’s what it’s all about. I love hearing how the little things we do make such a huge difference for our patients. ❤ AI has nothing on us!

she is extremely well spoken

Proposal: When someone causes another person to be million of dollars in medical debt and doesn't have insurance to pay off a lawsuit, the debt responsibility should transfer to the one who caused it. Let them be the one getting the calls and the mail and the declining credit score.

Dr. Mike's psychology training really shows here. He talks to her like my mental health professionals and oncologists talk to me, not like a podcast guest

“I don’t know why I’m getting so emotional” girl I’m on the verge of tears just listening to your story I’d be sobbing while telling this story 😭

she articulates herself so well. that’s the sound of someone who has had A LOT of time to reflect, learned her lessons, and has come out of the other end (ascended). 👏🏽 some of the best things that can happen to us in life

The fact that the California Department of Health had to openly announce that they were going to investigate the spa in advance, giving ample time for them to dispose of all the evidence, and then saying that they turned up empty-handed and can't hold anyone accountable is comical at best

That coworker who took care of you is an ANGEL

Funny how a lawyer will sue a citizen regardless of how much money they make, yet they won't sue a business unless the have insurance. I'm sure she isn't saying the name of the company for fear of being sued. Crazy world we live in.

This brought tears to my eyes 🥺 We need to START A PETITION and get the legislatives to change the laws!! I live in LA and I’m not surprised because there are so many businesses like this popping up all the time. They need to be regulated and these places need to be licensed!! And I hope someone sees this video that can step in and help her 🙏 I feel her on so many levels because I too had been went through illnesses and laid there bed ridden for weeks with no family or anyone really. It’s hard physically AND emotionally. I really pray that she gets her health back ❤️ it’s really something a lot of people take for granted every day.

The fact that the person that caused all that harm literally told her that she was a pain in her ass is absolutely insane, I am so sorry that she had to go through this terrible experience.

It's crazy that you can't legally drive a car without insurance. But you can inject someone with, who knows what without insurance. That is just mind blowing.

I have a genetic skin disorder and get frequent infections. I've felt so alone and like such a freak, but your interview hit me hard. Your attitude is such a blessing.

I love that dr mike was conpletely comfoetable in the silence... when she cried he didnt reach out to soothe her, he just let her feel the feelings and remained presend
