Asked By:newboossss in NYC

9.29.16 I had a BA done by Dr Freiman in Miami Fl, the RN there told me that it wasn't mandatory that I stay to have them removed he told me I could remove them myself but I am so scared I won't dare. They seem to be internal very thin & clear almost like hair. He told me after 7 days they must be removed in order to avoid infection , I've been calling the clinic but due to the hurricane in Florida I haven't been able to reach anyone . When I go to the hospital what should I tell them ? HELP!
