Ruby's story



I had a tram flap surgery by Dr. West. He suggested that I have a tummy tuck at the same time. I had so many infections that Dr. West had me on a dozen different types of antibiotics. The sutures were coming undone, so he used his bare hands and took every stitch out one by one without any gloves on. For the next several months, I had nurses who came to assist me. I had to irrigate the infected area with saline and was put on a wound vac for several months. It was extremely, extremely, painful.
