A
woman accused of being a phony doctor has been charged with a crime,
police say, after injecting a brew of Fix-A-Flat, cement, mineral oil
and Super Glue into the body of a woman who wanted a larger derriere.
The
self-described doctor’s ”own butt is the size of a truck tire,”
according to a report in The Miami Herald, which stated: ”Investigators
suspect she is part of an underground network of scam artists who have
been offering ‘pumping parties’ and home buttocks augmentations across
South Florida for years.”
The
materials injected by Oneal Ron Morris, a transgender woman, almost
killed the patient, police say. Morris on Friday was charged with
practicing health care without a license, causing great bodily injury, a
second-degree felony. Story highlights: Police were shocked with
Morris’ appearance when they made the arrest. ”It’s not clear whether
Morris was a victim of her own concoctions.” The injections into the
woman’s buttocks had “hurt to the point that she was screaming,’’ Miami
Gardens Detective Michael Dillon said. Police said Morris sent the woman
home after sealing her wound with Super Glue.
The
woman, whose name was not released, sought medical treatment, but fear
and embarrassment kept her from telling doctors what happened for
months. Police say she’s now burdened with medical bills, can’t work and
continues to suffer from the ordeal.Injections of silicone or plastic
into the buttocks are especially dangerous because the material can
easily leak into one of the buttocks’ blood vessels. If the substance
reaches the heart and lungs, that can cause a pulmonary embolism.
The
buttocks are “one of the worst places for injections,” said plastic
surgeon and blogger Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente and Orange. He
said: “Booty injections not infrequently go badly. Qualified doctors
tend to not offer them, so people can find themselves in
not-so-qualified hands. Buttock enhancement … is less predictable than
many other operations.”
