Once the operation was over, she was able to watch the video back. And she overheard quite an unpleasant conversation. In the video, we can hear the surgeons talk quite bluntly and make remarks about her weight. And that’s not all. The surgeons also said that the young woman was a ‘handful’.
‘She’s a handful. She had some choice words for us in the clinic when we didn’t book her case in two weeks. That doesn’t seem like the thing to say to the person who’s going to do your surgery,’ are just some of the things that were said in the video.
