Plastic Surgery Empire Becomes Florida's Deadliest Clinic: USA Today

[Aristus]

2. My first job out of school back when I was a Medical Assistant was with a plastic-surgery chop-shop.

I regret having taken the job, but I was fresh out of school, needed the work, and had student loans to pay off. I saw practices there that pretty much made me want to avoid plastic surgery for the rest of my life, and to discourage any loved ones from getting it.

Unlike the surgeons I met during my surgery rotation in P.A. School, an encouragingly ethical bunch, the scalpel jockeys at this place would take any job if the fee was large enough. We once did nine breast enlargement procedures in a row over a sixteen-hour workday. It just about killed me.
