My Burns and infection from Dra. Baez clinic
The mycobacterium takes about a month to incubate in the body. The burns were the last thing on my mind....
Do not go to the Dominican Republic for Plastic Surgery.
Hello my lovely dolls. 5 months later and I am writing about my experience. Well for the past 5 months I have been through hell. I contacted a Mycobacterium absessus infection in the clinic where Dra. Baez operated on me. When I got home 2 weeks after my surgery I was fine minus the burns she gave me which I will talk about in a minute. Week 6 was when I first started feeling small nodules on my butt in localized areas and my hips (Where ever the fat was injected). They were painful, red and swollen. I wen't to the emergency room and the doctor proscribed me Clindomycin which is good for skin infections but after 2 weeks of taking it, it wasn't working. Little did I know I had a much sinister bacteria inside me that is HIGHLY resilient to A LOT of drugs. A month later I had several (8) abscesses to be exact on my butt and hips. I wen't back to the ER and they cultured the abscess and sent it to the lab. 8 Weeks later they diagnosed me with Mycobacterium abscessus. I have been on IV (Intravenous) antibiotics since and have another 2 months to go on IV and another 4 months on the pills (Azithromycin). I wan't to let you girls know that DR is not the place to get surgery. I a not just saying this because this happened to me. I have spoken to the girls that Baez operated on that day and they all contacted the same bacteria and are fighting it. Also I have read more into this and DR is very known for mycobacterium living in the clinics.
