Nightmare

I just saw a commercial for tonight's (11/1) "Inside Edition".
Apparently a girl got a nipple pierced for her 18th birthday. It didn't
go well and she lost her breast. I haven't seen the full story yet. What
is on their website (http;//www.insideedition.com) follows.

Fred.



Stephanie Edington is a beautiful teenager facing a very grown up
nightmare. Doctors recently gave her a horrible choice: have her breast
removed or die.

Stephanie is not suffering from breast cancer; it was all due to a
terrible infection she says she got after she had a body piercing on her
18th birthday.

Now her left breast has been completely removed, and Stephanie is
struggling to recover. Her heartbreaking story has thrust this small
town girl from Indiana into the national spotlight. Newspapers all over
the world picked it up, and it was even talked about on Howard Stern's
radio show.

Stephanie got her piercing at a tattoo and piercing parlor on her
birthday with a sign on the window that reads "Pan Free Piercings."
Stephanie says that within a few weeks, the pain in her left breast
became excruciating.

"I was just scared so I went to the emergency room, I figured maybe
they'd just give me some antibiotics," Stephanie told INSIDE EDITION.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, doctors gave her just four
hours to live.

"I said I want a second opinion," Stephanie's mom said. "He said you
don't have time for a second opinion, she won't make it."

Dr. Robert Goulet broke the horrible news to Stephanie. He showed the
CAT scan to INSIDE EDITION, where her left breast can be seen as twice
the size of her right breast.

The owners of the tattoo parlor says they did nothing wrong, but that's
no comfort to Stephanie who is still in the hospital. All her
heartbroken mom can do is hold her daughter's hand and watch her suffer.

"I'm infuriated," she says. "There's no one protecting our kids who are
getting this done everyday."

Terrible for the girl, obviously, but infections happen. Relatively
recently, a local boy lost his feet, one hand, and most of his other
hand after a fight with staph infection. Doctors couldn't pinpoint
specifically where the boy encountered the infection, however it may
have been something as simple as a scrape during a baseball game.

Google staph infection, lost limbs and see what you see. Bad news. The
girl is lucky it was "only" a breast.

Wow man, no wonder you haven't been with a woman in six years.

Maybe if you spent as much time trying to forge close relationships
with adults as you do with children, you'd have a girlfriend.

She waited until her breast had -doubled- in size?
Gold star.

heh

Obviously there's nothing funny about what eventually "happened" to the
girl, however it's also obvious that mistakes were made. I'm assuming
not all of them (or perhaps any of them) by the piercer.

Do YOU think before you write.

Come on, explain the obvious mistake. It has to be obvious if you saw
it. What is it?

And by the way: semicolon.

Typically. Normally I wouldn't have to when it comes to replying to
your posts, however. I could simply type "Quit whining about me,
Kavin!" as a catch-all blanket-type response.

> Come on, explain the obvious mistake.

Sure.

> It has to be obvious if you saw it.

ahaha

Yer cute when your underoos are inna bunch, Kavvy.

You decided to get gastric bypass surgery?

"Semi" c o l o n?

(ba dump bump)

No, seriously, did you?

Anyway.

Now, Kavin, if you weren't so apparently blinded by the waistband of
your underpants which may just be blocking your view of all things
smack dab in front of your face, perhaps you'd've seen bishop.dia's
rhetorical question, "She waited until her breast had -doubled- in
size?"

I'll call that obvious mistake number one.

The other, what I'll call obvious, mistake was allowing the infection
to take place at all. Certainly it's safe to say the infection wasn't
deliberate. Assassin piercers? I don't believe it. And so barring
"deliberate" as an option, I'm left with accidental or "a mistake"
which, yeah, I'll call obvious mistake number two.

Yes, it's obvious that mistakes were made. There's no question about
that.

Well, your question, but, hey, I consider the source if not the intent.


Hth.

The all-powerful Curt. He won't 'allow' infections. Nope, he just
won't have them. Not allowed at all.


"No, Mr. Piercer, don't autoclave anything. I don't allow infections."

Yeah, you proved your point. Too bad you don't get the point.

That has a certain ring to it.

Cool.

> "No, Mr. Piercer, don't autoclave anything.

Perhaps that's exactly what the girl did, but I doubt it. And that
imaginary statement runs counter to what I suggested. Anyone who would
say that would certainly be allowing an opportunity for those bugaboos
to enter their system thus, yeah, "allowing the infection to take
place," right?

> I don't allow infections."

Sweet.

> Yeah, you proved your point.

Excellent.

> Too bad you don't get the point.

Hmm. Let me just take this one for a spin...

"Quit whining about me, Kavin!"

No, you can't split my quote to try and make an invalid point.

Keep paddling, ducky. Keep paddling.

Yes.

See how that works?

> , you can't split my quote

Did I? If I did then it was certainly within the bounds of effective
judicious snipping, imo.

> to try and make an invalid point.

Do you just hit random keys? Because what you're typing is nonsense.

Quack, quack, Kavvy.
