Homemade Plastic Surgery
I will never understand what it is about some people and their level of self-confidence that lets them see things like an aircraft or surgery and confidently think, “I could do that.” Let me tell you, when a discipline requires multiple degrees — and hard ones at that — I’m perfectly happy to let someone who’s put in the hours do the work. Do I love the American system of going into debt because you had to go to the hospital for a broken leg? No. At the same time, though, I’m not keen on the idea of trying to make a splint out of popsicle sticks and duct tape and hoping both my legs stay the same length.
Even plastic surgery is something you only want performed by somebody with a medical license, and preferably a good one. Maybe some people can convince themselves that, given that they’re surface-level surgeries instead of chest cavity work, there’s a little more room for error. After all, what’s the worst thing someone can do to your butt?
Well, for one, they could inject loose silicone into it in a bird-brained attempt at an illegal butt lift, causing embolisms and death. Look, it’s a rule that will treat you well: Don’t let anyone without a medical degree stick a syringe of something into you.
