Physician tells of Karr's sex-change plan

Bangkok, Thailand - A doctor told The Denver Post today he was treating John Mark Karr with hair removal in advance of sex-change surgery.
Also, today, an extradition hearing was scheduled for Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. It was not known whether Karr, the suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey murder case, had retained a lawyer.
Karr was arrested late Sunday at a Los Angeles airport on a warrant out of Boulder County, after he was escorted out of Bangkok. He's being held in a high-security prison.
Dr. Setthakarn Attakonpan of Siam Swan Cosmetic Clinic in Bangkok said Karr first came to him March 9 for hair removal on his face, neck and cheeks.
"The reason he wanted to do hair removal was because he wanted to do a sex change," Attakonpan told
The Post. "He told me he was in the process of medical treatment for cutting off his testicles."
/snip (lol!)
Vechavisit showed a newspaper advertisement that ran in an English-language paper that listed prices in U.S. dollars for his services. Breast-enlargement surgery was $1,125; liposuction was $625; a tummy tuck, $1,250; and the removal of testicles, $125.

Was he going to have it done at the Free Clinic?
Hedge clippers, anyone?
In case you want to add this to your list.
Well, they don't call it Bangkok, for nothin'.
$125 to remove one's testicles. I bet the congressional Republicans didn't get this good of a deal.
...????...for $50.00 I'll chase him over razor wire fence
Buck shot?
I think that price was for both of them. : )
Don't worry he will get his operation for free in jail.
You're probably right. I just saw a story this weekend where the ACLU is pushing Wisconsin (?) to pay for sex change operations.
ROFL!!! That's good.
Thanks - I keep track of them all day long and already had thie one. Appreciate it!
Seriously, the removal of testicles is exactly what should happen to all male sex offenders. Some lesser offenses get one nut removed.
Female sex offenders are free to - um - offend. As long as it doesn't involve the removal of testicles.
