The Girl I Was: Selfie Queen

This book is about how my life was before my botched surgery. How I was happy and photographed my life with me and my friends every day. It details how USC Keck targets rhinoplasty patients for use as privately paying guinea pigs, to get their students through school due to ACGME mandates that students perform 6 rhinoplasties prior to being licensed. This means if you are lured by an affiliate clinic. I used to be pretty, my face is disabled and I wrote to book to commemorate my life from before and show how the Medical Board and agencies in America do nothing to help victims of violent criminal surgeries. They know it's happening but close complaints routinely because they make so much money for the state. i thought if I put a face to the corruption, people could see, I'm a person, just like anyone and it happened to many of us. In my case, the surgery that was supposed to me minor destroyed my life and livelihood. I still cannot move my mouth very well due to Cleft Lip procedures students from USC Keck performed upon me. Our records were all falsified. I talk a bit about that, but also about how it used to be. How I dated and was happy. Depression can happen to anyone but the deliberate malice involved in this activity is what made me write this book. That my face is no longer beautiful in photos, I thought I would show what it used to be like and give a sampling of how one wrong choice and trusting the wrong person can destroy a life.
