Teen's Breast Removed After Pierce Infection

[mordantmonkey]

why do people wait so long to go to the doctor? I mean yeah if i have a mild upper resp. infection for a few days i wont go to the hospital. But if i have itchy red streaked skin around my new peircing and am starting to get a fever, hey maybe i should hit the hospital.

 

[ryan256]

$100 says theres a tattoo/piercing parlor about to get sued. Any takers???

 

[OutHouse]

good thing she didnt get her clit pierced too. :Q

This girl's love life is ruined. She will never have the choice in men she would have had before she was horribly mutilated in the ONE area her body outwardly expresses it's sexuality.
And I can guarantee neither of you would date a woman who's chest has been gouged out and left horribly scared.
Gee, how many porn stars are mastectomy victims?

Wow.... personal experience??? This seems to be hitting a nerve with you.
Any man who truly loves his woman will look past that. I have a high school friend that almost looks like Freddy Kruger. He got blown up by an idiot smoking around a propane tank. Yet his girlfriend stood by him and are now married.

I have never understood the appeal behind tatoos and body piercings.

That said, I hope she gets better.

At least they caught the infection before it spread more, she could have easily ended up in a wooden box.

If shes diabetic though, she would be "peircing" herself daily to give insulin injections (should might be type II, it doesn't say). If so, its somewhat odd that the rings did it in for her.

And you can pull all the the anecdotal evidence you want out of your ass, it doesn't change the fact that woman who go through this are routinely rejected and their love lives ruined.

A puncture wound from a needle is much smaller, and closes up much faster than one for a piercing that remains open because a ring is left in it.

Not odd at all. Not in the slightest.

yes a 18 yr old girl loseing a boob is bad. but it is not devastating for her and the family. what would be devastating is for her to have died from this. loseing a boob is not as major when you look at what could have happened.

You don't think losing a boob is devastating for any woman, much less an 18 year old girl?

Tell me, would you be devastated if you lost your penis?

perhaps it would be devastating for the women. now for the family? hell no. considering that she nearly died. now that would have been devastating.


is it bad? yes. can she continue on with life? yes. many women have don eit.


now nowhere did i say it was not bad. but i do not beleive it is devasting for the family.

I don't know about you, but anytime one of my family is devastated, I am too. Especially if it's one of my kids.

This completely changes her life. She will forever be viewed as sexually mutilated by men.

omfg bullsh1t.. a good surgeon and noone will ever know specially if they go ahead and enhance the other breast..
it will be no different than a good boob job.

 

[Heisenberg]

I feel sorry for her, but if I had a systemic condition like diabetes that compromises your immune system there's no way in hell I'd let anybody near me with needles who isn't a trained medical professional.

Good lord, have you EVER seen massive tissue loss like this? One that requires skin grafts?

Your ignorance is astounding. Her chest, even if reconstructed with a breast implant will look like Freddy Kruger's face.

I'd imagine she'll have significant scarring due to the infection and a lot of skin loss, I highly doubt they'll be able to make her centerfold material,no matter how good the doctor.

Sorry... but Kevin & Lucy are real people. Not anecdotes. And they're from my highschool year book... not my ass thanks. Were their love lives ruined?? Not hardly. Changed? I'm pretty sure they were yes... I never said things would be easy for her. Just that they can be overcome. How she handles things and her attitude will determine this.

Women are a lot more likely to stand by a man who's disfigured/disabled by illness/accident or becomes addicted to drugs,etoh or gambling .Mren aren't as tolerant of such short comings in their women.A lot of female cancer patients end up getting their divorce papers along with the oncologist's bill.

I'd bet my next paycheck that if it was Lucy who was disfigured you wouldn't have had such a pretty story to tell as kevin woulda hit the road pretty quick.

Look up "anecdotal" and get back to me, OK?

Your one story means exactly dick when it comes to the big picture.

Maybe.... knowing what I do of them had the situation been reversed and Lucy had a radical mastecomy I'm 80% sure Kevin would have stood by her.
Besides... men like that disgust me. "For better, for worse, in sickness and in health." Sound familiar? Vows are not kept only when its convenient.

amused id go ahead and post pics but id get banned

YEs it can leave a nasty fing scar on someone that is 50 fing year old

on a 18 year old person im fairily confident that they can give her a fake boob and hide most of the nastyness, she will have a scar but its not gonna be like a fing horn comming out of her head

you go go google pics for yourself of mastectomy reconstrustions and see that its not always that bad

ALL of the mastectomy reconstructions you see online are from simple breast removal for cancer. NONE are from the type of massive tissue loss this girl suffered.

Look up scars from flesh eating bacteria. Now, imagine those scars in place of a woman's breast. Stretching from her neck, to her stomach.

THEN and only then will you have some idea of the horror that this girl is living with...

Meanwhile, again guys, go read the stories of women who have had simple mastectomies, and of the massive rejection and loneliness they live with.

losing a breast isnt nearly the same as a man losing his penis. If a man loses his penis he can no longer have sex or reproduce.

If a woman loses her breast, she can still reproduce, have sex, etc. And she can still feed an infant if she'd like. Thankfully breasts come in pairs, like other parts of the human body.

Nifty. Another person completely misses the point.

Do yourself a favor before speaking further on a subject you know nothing about and talk to breast cancer survivors, particularly mastectomy victims.

A woman's outward sexual identity has far more to do with her breasts than her vagina or uterus.

Here's my 2 cents. Piercings in general are unattractive in my opinion, but this is her body and she's a legal adult. Now the article seems to make a big deal over how she is now 1 breasted and how her life and family are devastated because of it. Its just a breast, a body part unessential for her continued life. She can life with out it just fine. And since I see no reason why she could not have a child and breast feed from one breast, or bottle feed, her continued life will not suffer. The only negative effect seems to be mockery and teasing from her peers. But, she is 18, I would hope that her peers have more brains than that. Mocking people for physical flaws and deformities in something you did in grade school.

well stated. :thumbsup:

Well stated my ass. It's so full of ignorance it's not even funny.

Go to ANY breast cancer survivor forum online to read about the rejection, heartbreak and isolation mastectomy victims live with.

This girl's love life is ruined. She will never have the choice in men she would have had before she was horribly mutilated in the ONE area her body outwardly expresses it's sexuality.

And I can guarantee neither of you would date a woman who's chest has been gouged out and left horribly scared.

Gee, how many porn stars are mastectomy victims?

I agree on the other hand.... How many men did she cut out by getting them pierced in the first place?

Yeah, but comparing one of a girls breasts to a penis is a whole different story. For one thing, a penis is necssary for having children, a breast is not, although it is cheaper.
The correct comparison would be this:
"Tell me, would be devastated if you lost your right testicle?"
And yes I would be, but thats what my left nut is for.

So sad that its so true... Though I'm pretty sure the percentages are a lot more even then you'd like to think... People truly disgust me... I have been friends with so many people throughout the years with disabilities, amputations, and yes, very young mastectomy victim (14). I look past it each time.. It simply doesn't bother me... People are so cruel... With the removal of religion comes the removal of decency I suppose..
