The NYT reports on the dark side of plastic surgery:
It is a simplistic, anti-betterment view told through maudlin tales of malpractice, with little medical context for balance. But there is no gotcha here. No doctor is ambushed leaving a medical complex, or forced to dodge microphones and cameras. In fact, the documentary never interviews or even really describes the doctors who are the real villains of these tales. Viewers will be left wondering why these events occurred. Why would surgeons risk operations on a diabetic like Mona or on an emotionally overwrought character like Lucille, who clearly has body issues? Were these patients originally operated on by experienced plastic surgeons, inexperienced gynecologists or emergency room physicians? Were they physicians in good standing, or were they doctors with long malpractice records who had been disciplined by their state medical boards? The filmmakers don't tell us.
