Paramedics were summoned to the teen's aid at the Boca Raton outpatient surgery unit where she'd had the procedure, and they rushed her to Delray Medical Center.

I was struck by that sentence also. So the anesthesiologist and surgeon got in over their heads, and they called 911?????

(Mental note -- never go for breast augmentation surgery in Boca Raton -- oh, that's right, that's not very likely, since I'm a guy.)

“(Mental note — never go for breast augmentation surgery in Boca Raton — oh, that’s right, that’s not very likely, since I’m a guy.”

On a guy they are called “Moobs”...short for “Man Boobs”...

What a shame though about this young girl and the grief that her family must feel...very sad.

There are a bunch of plastic surgery clinics that are only set up for that procedure. Anything happens and they don’t have the proper equipment to deal with it.

The same thing applies to some “birthing centers”. Usually staffed by certified midwives and nurses, but should a real emergency arise, the patient has to go to the hospital.

So were the doctors supposed to load her up in their car and take her to the hospital? Of course not. They were calling for an ambulance.

And remember, we need malpractice reform so the family can’t collect.

Some doctors are building their own surgery centers separate from a general hospital. They say that there is less chance of infection and of course, they make more of the money from the insurance company. But if complications arise, there may not be trained personnel ready to jump right in.

Well, maybe big rubber nutz will become “in fashion” for men!
