Breast Augmentation
I love fake boobs. But this, ladies, is NOT how you do it.
An 18 year old came in for breast pain after "at home breast augmentation." She was visiting her friend in Mexico, and mentioned to her friend she wanted to go from a B to a C cup. So her friend, in true Mexican resourcefulness style, injected cooking oil into both breasts.
Yeah, that just happened.
So I examined her breasts. Luckily for her I didn't see any signs of infection. I was not, however, impressed with her friends work.

See, there ARE still idiots out there in the world worth writing about- if only to share your incredulity. It is also enormously entertaining for the rest of us.

Oh lord.... You can't fix stupid.
Seriously? Why would ANYONE think that was a good idea?? People are such idiots...
Augh augh AUGH! I never understood why men would hvae hypochondriac sympathy pains when they'd watch someone else get kicked in the balls. However, now I do... as someone with breasts, I totally had the urge to protect mine right away. Well, at least they didn't use home&garden silicone from the DIY market? :-|
P.S. I don't have ANY friend whom I'd allow to inject anything inside my chest. In her kitchen. AAAAAhhhhh!
(My bad, I assumed it was in the kitchen, since you wrote cooking oil. Still, this would have been a potential candidate for the Darwin Award, had it gone wrong.)
OMG, what was she thinking? That's just incredible. Dear God, I hope everything comes out alright.
