Rescuers rush to save 400 pilot whales beached in New Zealand

WATCH ABOVE: A New Zealand lawmaker is calling for more research to find out why hundreds of pilot whales stranded themselves on a beach on Friday. Dozens of residents of Golden Bay rushed to save the animals, but many were confirmed dead.

Listen

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – It was the sound of soft sighs and cries in the half-light that first struck Cheree Morrison, and then as the dawn broke she began to see the extent of the carnage – more than 400 whales had swum aground along a remote New Zealand beach.

About 275 of the pilot whales were already dead when Morrison and two colleagues found them Friday on Farewell Spit at the tip of the South Island.

Within hours, hundreds of farmers, tourists and teenagers were racing to keep the surviving 140 or so whales alive in one of the worst whale strandings in the nation’s history.

Morrison, a magazine writer and editor, stumbled upon the whales after taking a pre-dawn trip with a photographer and a guide to capture the red glow of the sunrise.

“You could hear the sounds of splashing, of blowholes being cleared, of sighing,” she said. “The young ones were the worst. Crying is the only way to describe it.”

The adult and baby whale carcasses were strewn three or four deep in places for hundreds of yards, often rolled over on the sand with their tail fins still aloft.

Morrison’s group alerted authorities, and volunteers soon began arriving in wetsuits and carrying buckets. Dressed in her jeans and sandshoes, Morrison waded into the water and did what she could to try to manoeuvr the surviving whales upright so they could breathe more easily.

“I walked away crying my eyes out,” she said. “We knew there were limited things we could do.”

Volunteer rescue group Project Jonah said a total of 416 whales had stranded. When high tide came, volunteers managed to refloat about 50 the surviving whales while the other 80 or 90 remained beached.

The volunteers then formed a human chain in the water to try to stop the creatures from swimming back and stranding themselves again. It will likely take a day or so to determine how successful their efforts have been.

Volunteers plan to refloat more whales on Saturday.

Farewell Spit, a sliver of sand that arches like a hook into the Tasman Sea, seems to confuse whales and has been the site of previous mass strandings.

The Department of Conservation said about 500 volunteers had joined conservation workers on the beach.

Community ranger Kath Inwood said the volunteers were continuing to keep the stranded survivors damp and cool by placing blankets over them and dousing them with buckets of water.

The high tide allowed volunteers their one shot of the day to help some of the whales. Many plan to return for the high tide on Saturday to try to refloat more of the whales, including any that strand themselves again.

There are different theories as to why whales strand themselves, from them chasing prey too far inshore to them trying to protect a sick member of the group.

Inwood said whale strandings occur most years at Farewell Spit, but the scale of this event came as a shock.

Sometimes described as a whale trap, the spit’s long coastline and gently sloping beaches seem to make it difficult for whales to navigate away from once they get close.

The beach is remote. Getting there from the nearest provincial airport in Nelson takes a three-hour drive followed by a 15-minute hike.

Conservation workers said many of the surviving whales were likely to be in bad shape given the number of deaths, and that their conditions would likely deteriorate the longer they remained stranded.

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of whale strandings in the world, and Friday’s event is the nation’s third-biggest recorded stranding.

The largest was in 1918, when about 1,000 pilot whales came ashore on the Chatham Islands. In 1985 about 450 whales stranded in Auckland.

“It was just heartbreaking,” Morrison said. “Utterly heartbreaking.”

Dulcimer cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" featuring actual members of Tears for Fears

In August of 2016, Ted Yoder livestreamed a video of himself covering “Everybody Wants to Rule The World” by Tears for Fears on the dulcimer. His cover was so popular that word of it eventually got to Curt Smith, lead singer of Tears for Fears. So, when Smith and the band were passing through Yoder’s hometown, they couldn’t help but swing by his house for a quick collaboration.

Here’s the Scientific Reason Drinking Alcohol Makes You So Hungry

Ever wondered why a couple of rounds of beer in a bar leaves you longing for hot wings, mozzarella sticks, and loaded potato skins?

ISTOCK/CIRANO83

The growling of your tummy isn’t just in your head (or belly) after you’ve had an adult beverage or two. Drinking alcohol really does make you hungrier, according to a new study conducted by the Francis Crick Institute in the U.K., which is why that glass of red wine or vodka soda often causes you to crave munchies.

The two-year investigation, published in Nature Communications, looked at how ethanol alcohol affects the body, brain, and actions of mice. The mice were given around a-bottle-and-a half to two bottles of wine over a three-day period. The alcohol fired up certain neurons, called AgRP, located in the hypothalamus, which not only increased appetite, but also decreased metabolism and energy levels. They believe a similar reaction happens in humans.

“Our study clearly shows that the main area of the brain responsible for eating (the hypothalamus and its AgRP neurons) is directly affected and excited by ethanol, and that mice respond very strongly to its exposure by overeating for several hours afterward,” say study co-authors Sarah Cains, MD, and Craig Blomeley, MD. The researchers repeated the experiment again, but this time blocking the AgRP neuron signals, and found that the mice ate less, which shows that the AgRP neurons may directly influence binge eating when binge drinking. While not yet studied, the researchers also believe that dopamine might also be affected in a similar way, contributing to overeating when drinking alcohol.

So what could this mean for you? The more you drink, the hungrier you will be, and the more you will want to eat. So to avoid binge eating, don’t drink in excess. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, binge drinking is defined as having a blood alcohol concentration above a .08, which is about four drinks for women and five for men in a two-hour period.

“Avoid binge drinking if you want to avoid binge eating,” say the study authors, who also believe that there may be a link between binge drinking and obesity. “Binge drinking and obesity are typically thought of as two separate societal problems, but why does this happen all over the world and what is making us do this?” they ask. “It is too easy to believe that one cannot lead to the other, and that this correlation does not involve the brain somehow.”

More research is underway, but as of now, it’s a good idea for many reasons to drink less and exercise more. If you do go out and have one too many drinks, here’s how to cure a hangover naturally.

7 Reasons Your Lips Are Chapped—and How to Heal Them

Unless you know why your lips keeps getting dry and cracked, you’ll be a slave to lip balm all winter long. We asked two board certified dermatologists about what causes chapped lips and how you can keep your pout soft, smooth, and happy.

You have a sunburn

ISTOCK/YANLEVYour lips, as you may be aware, are extremely sensitive, largely because the skin covering them is very thin. “Because they are so thin, they are more prone to sun damage, and you can even get skin cancers in this area as well,” says Jill Waibel, MD, owner of the Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute. Make sure to use lip balm with SPF anytime you will be outside, and if your dry and chapped lips don’t clear up, make an appointment with your dermatologist. Sun damage can cause a pre-cancerous condition known as actinic cheilitis. Once diagnosed, your doctor may pursue treatment options like cryotherapy, medical photodynamic therapy, or topical chemotherapeutic creams. Are you looking for a few ideas for covering up redness? Here are 10 makeup and skincare ideas for getting rid of sunburn.

You have an undiagnosed allergy

ISTOCK/YURI_ARCURSIf your lips are always dry but you can’t quite nail down the cause, take a look at the products on your vanity. According to Dr. Waibel, an allergy could be the root cause of chapped lips. “Allergic Contact Dermatitis is a very common diagnosis for dryness in your lips,” she explained. “You can have become allergic to either your toothpaste, mouthwash, or something in your lipstick—coloring for example.” Take breaks from products for two weeks at a time to see if your lips begin to heal. If they don’t, Dr. Waibel suggests checking in with your dermatologist to talk about treatment. Your doctor may suggest a patch test to help you figure out exactly what you are allergic to so you can avoid that ingredient in other products. Additionally, until your lips are back to normal, a topical steroid might be prescribed to help with the dryness, redness, and inflammation

You have chronic dry lips

ISTOCK/GACOOKSEYSometimes the simplest explanation is the best explanation. In some cases, if your lips are always dry, it’s because you have chronic dry lips. “This can be very common in patients with a history of dry skin conditions, for example, psoriasis or eczema,” says Dr. Waibel. Treatment may involve applying an ointment like Aquaphor to the area twice a day and/or to apply Dr. Dan’s Lip Balm, which contains hydrocortisone, and which can help dramatically with dryness.

You are dehydrated

ISTOCK/GREGORBISTERIf your lips are dry, a few glasses of water may be all you need to get them back to normal, according to Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, board-certified dermatologist and instructor at the University of Southern California, who says that dry lips are one of earliest signs of dehydration. That’s because lip skin is very thin and has no oil or sweat glands. “Water loss through the lips is actually 3 to 10 times greater than through the skin on the face or other skin on the body,” Dr. Shainhouse says. “When you notice that your lips are dry, down a few glasses of water to help replenish some of your body’s stores.” These are the signs of dehydration to watch out for.

You’re a mouth breather

ISTOCK/MONKEYBUSINESSIMAGESMouth-breathers, as the name suggests, breathe in and out through their mouth instead of their nose. “Not a big deal, except that it can leave your lips feeling dry and tight due to the evaporation of moisture when your mouth is open all night,” Dr. Shainhouse says. Mouth-breathing can be caused by chronic allergies and nasal congestion, which prevents you from breathing through your nose. You could also have other nose and throat issues that may be causing snoring. If you wake up with dryness in your mouth and on your lips, try applying Vaseline, Aquaphor or Vitamin E oil, before bed to help keep lips moist. You can also run a humidifier at night (here’s how to choose the right humidifier for your space). Of course, if you have chronic allergies or a snoring problem, you should also make an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat doctor or an allergist to tackle the problem behind your chapped lips. Your incessant snoring may also be annoying your partner. Check out these other sleep habits that may be driving your bedmate crazy.

You lick your lips

ISTOCK/MILLANNWe get it, licking you lips relieves the dryness for a few minutes, but it won’t help in the long run. In fact, once the saliva evaporates, your lips can actually become more dry, warns Dr. Shainhouse. “Chronic or habitual lip licking can actually create a vicious cycle of dry, irritated lips that just won’t heal. When lips get dry, they can feel tight and might even crack and sting. Be conscious of this habit, and ask others to point out when you are doing it, so that you can actively work on quitting,” Dr. Shainhouse sats. “Keep your lips moist with emollient balms and occlusive ointments, which will reduce the tight, dry sensation.” Some of our favorite lip emollients are Avene Cold Cream Nourishing Lip Balm, Lanolips 101 Ointment MultiPurpose Super Balm, and Junetics Pure Energy Lip Balm E24 Complex.

The weather is dry

ISTOCK/LUKE-ABRAHAMSJust as low moisture in the body can dry lips, so can low moisture in the environment. Dry air is one of the most common culprits behind chapped lips. While you may not be able to control the weather, there are steps you can take to protect your skin and lips from becoming to dry and chapped. “Dry weather literally sucks the moisture out of your lips to ‘help add moisture’ to the environment,” says Dr. Shainhouse. “Winds just add to the problem by increasing the evaporative water loss.” If dry weather is leaving your pout parched, Dr. Shainhouse suggests using a moisturizing lip balm to hydrate your lips and a waxy chapstick that will lock in the moisture before you head out into the winter weather. Don’t miss these homemade remedies for dry, chapped lips.

Oprah makes $60 million profit from one painting

In 2006, Oprah Winfrey bought a painting by Austrian master Gustav Klimt for $87.9 million, the auction record for a Klimt painting.

It was a smart move.

Last summer, she sold 1912’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” for $150 million for a $62 million profit, a source tells Bloomberg.

According to the source, the painting of the wife of a Vienna art patron was sold to a Chinese buyer in a private sale while it hung at the Museum of Modern Art on loan.

The painting now hangs at the Neue Galerie in New York, where it is to be on display until September.

What its current owner plans to do with the painting after that time is uncertain, though Hyperallergic notes it may be hidden from public view.

Both the “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” and Klimt’s better-known “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” in gold from 1907 were looted by Nazis and only returned to Bloch-Bauer’s heirs in 2006.

The latter was then sold for a reported $135 million.

Riverdale S01 E02: A closer look at Jughead, questionable student/teacher relationships, and murder suspects

Hello Riverdale Class of 2017. It’s Richard from Zeus Comics

Our second episode Riverdale delivers sexy cheerleaders, sweaty nightmares, possible motives, Reggie the troublemaker and a much bigger introduction to Jughead!

While our first episode spent time establishing the Betty and Veronica relationship, our second explores the friend dynamic between Archie and Jughead.

In the comics the classic, Jughead is an aloof, ne’re-do-well who spends most of his time lusting after burgers, but this new interpretation sets him as a social outcast.

It’s less nerd and more advocate of social wrongs and justice.

It’s Jughead who seems intent on finding the answers to Jason Blossom’s death. Whether it’s taking a moment to spy on Archie and Mrs. Grundy, the music teacher, for clues or inspiring Archie to attempt to come forward about his whereabouts in day Jason died.

But hold up! Geraldine Grundy isn’t interested in coming forward. Could it be she’s worried about I dunno… statutory rape from her fling with underage Archie?

Side note: Using unofficial polling at Zeus… It’s split down the middle on whether this Student/Teacher sex situation is too hot for TV or too wrong for TV.

Ok back to Mrs. Grundy. Is it possible her fling with Archie is an attempt to cover up her killing Jason Blossom?

What?!

In a scene with Betty’s mom Alice, we discover that Jason was tied up first and was shot a week later after his supposed death on July 4th.

Is Mrs Grundy covering up another student/teacher sex fling? One that went awry?

We do know she likes the gingers.

Trust me. It’s a thing.

But what’s up with Alice Cooper? Why was she paying off the coroner for information on on Jason’s Death? What could she want?

We know it’s Jason Blossom’s relationship with Betty’s sister Polly that put Polly in an asylum.

Oh! and did anyone else notice Betty is pretty good about lying both to her mom and Veronica? Hmmm

Big questions and two possible suspects emerge: Polly and Mrs Grundy.

But our end of episode shows Cheryl Blossom willingly get arrested for Jason’s murder, right as Archie was coming forward about his own whereabouts.

This a ruse right?

In a harsh scene from earlier just when we thought Cheryl was finally making nice with Betty after a manipedi, Cheryl comes after her. “You dumb cow… Someone shot my brother and I thought it was your tweaked out sister.”

So why is she letting herself get arrested?

I have my suspicions #riverdalestrong And I can’t wait for the newest Riverdale… “Body Double”

7 Things You Never Thought You'd Do . . . Until You Had Kids

Before I had kids, I was sure I knew what having kids would look like. I pictured tucking them in at night, kissing them sweetly on their foreheads, snuggling over stories, tickling and laughing, enjoying family meal time, and taking walks hand in hand. Sure, they’d cry sometimes, but I would patiently soothe them like the wonderful mother I just knew I’d be.

Let’s pause for a moment to get the laughter out of our systems, shall we? Because I’m pretty sure you know what happened to all of those maternal fantasies once I actually gave birth to offspring. When the reality of being responsible for another human being sets in, so does real-life parenting – which can differ wildly from your pre-kid illusions. You find yourself doing things that you never in a million years would have dreamed of doing before. Things you would have laughed at the mere thought of.

Things like:

Sniffing someone else’s butt. The phrase, “Did you poop?” will come out of your mouth numerous times during early parenthood, which in itself is depressing. But then comes the inevitable follow-up: confirming the dump via direct inhale. What else are you gonna do, though – stick your finger in to check? Sniffing is, unfortunately, the lesser of two evils.

Picking someone else’s nose. Speaking of sticking your finger in, there will come a time when you’re forced to remove a booger for someone who isn’t able to do it unassisted. Not only will you be picking someone else’s nose, but you’ll be restraining that person as they struggle against your efforts. Lucky you!

Eating someone’s table scraps. Cold chicken nuggets, bitten sandwich halves – this is the stuff of a mom’s diet (and much of the reason behind that extra 10 or 15 pounds parenthood makes you gain). Thought you’d never be hunched over another person’s plate, scarfing down their discarded dinner? Think again, my friend. Think again.

Spending all your money on someone else. Before kids, you probably had a little something called “expendable income.” Sure, you may have sprung for a few drinks with your bestie or picked up the tab at dinner – but by and large, that money was yours alone. And if you spent most of it on, say, a freeloading boyfriend, your friends would quickly provide you with a harsh reality check. Post kids, though, you’re out here spending the bulk of your money on another person, rocking clearance-rack fashion while they’re running around in stylish clothes they don’t even appreciate.

Cleaning up someone else’s bodily fluids. People with no kids are responsible for the excrement of exactly one person: themselves. (And naively unaware of just how wonderful that is.) Then you become a parent, and you find yourself choking back sobs while you pick chunks of half-digested macaroni out of your carpet at 3 a.m.

Being concerned about someone else’s toilet habits. While we’re on the subject of excrement, consider this: did you ever think, as a young, idealistic nonparent, that you’d actually be worried that someone else is a) not pooping enough or b) pooping too much or c) pooping out the wrong color/consistency/smell? Or that a tiny turd that finally landed in the potty chair could literally make you giddy? Probably not; yet, here you are.

Considering 7 a.m. “sleeping in.” Remember when you had to wake up at 7 o’clock and thought it was brutally early? Remember when “sleeping in” meant it was damn near lunchtime when you finally rolled out of bed? Remember when nobody woke you up by crying or prying your eyelids open or simply standing creepily by the bedside like a heart attack waiting to happen? When you’re a parent, waking after the sun feels like you’ve won the lottery.

Yes, there’s nothing like parenthood to lead you into territory where you never thought you’d tread. But possibly the strangest “I-swore-I’d-never-do-that” thing? Doing every single one of those weird, disgusting, demeaning tasks . . . and not being able to imagine your life any other way. Because those labors of grossness are actually labors of love – and that might just be the most surprising thing of all.

The most famous surgeon of the 19th century was actually a woman

When it comes to achievements in the field of medicine in the 19th century, there is one surgeon whose name has become legend. But unfortunately that legend has been overshadowed by an incredible secret that was revealed about him after his death.

His main achievements were related to discovering the role of hygiene in medicine. As a result, the survival rate of his patients was considered astronomical for that period. By identifying the connection between dirty pipes, fecal matter and diseases, he was able to stop the spread of cholera and leprosy that plagued the African continent. He was also the first docter to carry out a completely successful C-section where both the baby and the mother survived.

However, after his death in 1865, the nurse in charge of preparing his body got a very shocking surprise when she lifted the sheet off his body…

James Miranda Barry did not exist before he enrolled at the University of Edinburgh. He excelled at his studies and was one of the few to graduate from the prestigious medical school. He then worked as a volunteer and took classes day and night to become a surgeon.

When he was finished his studies, he entered the army as a surgeon and worked in different countries that were colonies of the British Empire. In Jamaica, India, Crimea, South Africa and other countries his medical achievements earned him great renown. The effects of his work became evident everywhere — hospitals were established in places that had previously had no medical facilities, the spread of cholera was stopped and various surgical operations were perfected.

He reached the highest rank a military doctor can achieve: Inspector General of Hospitals. He also became a close friend of Governor Charles Somerset. But none of that mattered when the truth about his life was discovered, for when the nurse who prepared his body for the funeral lifted the sheet that covered him, she discovered the unthinkable: James Barry, the famous doctor of the British Navy, had been a woman!

It turned out that James Barry’s real name was Margaret Ann Bulkley. She was born in County Cork, Ireland in 1789 and even when she was still just a child, her intelligence was obvious to everyone. Her uncle, James Barry (whose name she adopted) and his close friend Francisco Miranda (a prominent Venezuelan politician) saw Margaret’s potential and were determined to help her become a doctor. But at that time women were not allowed to study medicine, so they came up with the risky plan of trying to pass off the young woman as a man.

Margaret received her uncle’s name and Francisco Miranda promised to take her to Venezuela after she finished her medical training. There she would be able to practice medicine as a woman. But their plan was foiled when Miranda was captured by the Spanish in Cadiz and died a short time later. From then on, Margaret had to hide her true identity forever.

Margaret made the decision to join the army and go to other countries to avoid being discovered in her country. She managed to hide the fact that she was a woman, but her personality and mannerisms often got her into trouble — she even had a duel with pistols against someone who dared to question her manhood. In fact, rumors that she had a homosexual relationship with Governor Charles Somerset ruined the politician’s career.

The scandal that ensued after the discovery of the true gender of the famous surgeon overshadowed the successes that this incredible woman achieved in the area of medicine. Thanks to her pioneering work to improve hygiene and sterilization, untold lives were saved.

In 1864 Barry returned to England but died shortly after due to poor health. Today her legacy is celebrated: Margaret Ann Bulkley was the first female doctor in Britain. Thanks to her courage, she made valuable advances in modern medicine. Her determination, ability, strength and intelligence should not be forgotten.

But the story didn’t end there. Apparently the nurse who discovered that she was actually a woman also saw marks on her stomach that would indicate that Margaret had also been pregnant. That’s right! There’s a good chance that this famous surgeon had at least one child. And who was the father? Nobody knows. It’s just one of those mysteries that will remain hidden among the folds of history.

You can watch the exciting story of Margaret’s life in this video:

It’s thanks to pioneers such as Margaret Ann Bulkley that the medical and scientific world has benefited from numerous contributions from women before before and since. Although, there is still progress to be made, thank goodness women don’t have to struggle against such extreme opposition to gain access to their chosen careers nowadays!

Take a bite: How to make a hollow chocolate soda bottle

Has your teenager outgrown the Easter bunny but still loves chocolate…?

The next time you want to give them, or anyone, a fun chocolate figure — for a birthday, Easter, or (don’t forget!) Valentine’s Day — just follow these instructions to conjure up something that’s as funny as it is delicious.

You’ll need:

an empty 16-oz plastic bottle of their favorite soda, including the cap and label

a bar of chocolate (organic perhaps? or prize-winning artisanal!)

a sharp knife

a funnel

a pot

a bowl

sweets to fill the bottle with

Here’s how:

Wash the bottle well and let it dry completely.

YouTube/DaveHax

Carefully remove the label, being sure not to damage it. Place it somewhere safe to dry off — you’ll need it again soon!

YouTube/DaveHax

Once the bottle is totally clean and dry, place the broken up bar of chocolate in the bowl. Bring a little water to a low simmer in the pot and set the bowl in the pot, over the water. Let the chocolate melt, stirring any lumps out once it’s fluid.

YouTube/DaveHax

Now put the funnel into the bottle and carefully pour the melted chocolate in. Since you want a hollow chocolate bottle, the melted chocolate should only fill about a quarter of the plastic bottle.

YouTube/DaveHax

Gently rock and turn the bottle until the chocolate has covered the entire inner wall, including the neck. Try to spread an even amount of chocolate all over, so that your chocolate bottle’s wall will have a fairly constant thickness.

YouTube/DaveHax

Let the chocolate cool off and become firm, continuing to move it gently and evenly so the last fluid drops get well-distributed.

YouTube/DaveHax

As soon as it’s completely dry, fill the bottle with the sweets of your choice. They just have to be small enough to fit through the neck.

YouTube/DaveHax

Now for the tricky part: take a sharp knife and very carefully cut through the plastic — without touching the chocolate! You may even want to use a razor knife (if you have a very steady hand). All you need to do is make a cut all around the middle of the bottle…

YouTube/DaveHax

… so you can pull the top and bottom off without damaging the chocolate.

YouTube/DaveHax

Once you’ve removed the plastic, attach the label directly onto the chocolate: use a little bit of hidden tape to connect the ends. And the last step, place the cap back on the bottle.

YouTube/DaveHax

Now you have a fun — and charming! — present to give a chocolate (and soda) lover in your life. They might be fooled: it looks just like the original!

YouTube/DaveHax

Make a gift like this and people will be really impressed! Then they’ll get the added surprise of shaking it to notice there’s something yummy on the inside too… but they’ll just have to eat their way in there.

YouTube/DaveHax

Watch the video for step-by-step instructions:

You don’t just have to use Coke or some other soda. Those may have the advantage of looking chocolate-y already. But if you have a kombucha or turmeric tonic lover in your family, you can play quite a loving practical joke on them with a chocolate version of their beloved health drink!

And for the filling, everything works, from M&Ms and gummi bears to chocolate covered espresso beans or how about chai-spice pecans…? Not to mention the most season-appropriate choice: candy hearts! <3

A surgical error destroyed this woman's face

In her youth Carol Bryan from Florida was considered a very attractive woman. When she was in her 20s, she felt confident and happy with her physical appearance. But when Carol turned 30, that healthy self-image changed and she began to start doubting various aspects of her body.

YouTube/ The Doctors

At first she simply wanted to use some Botox to remove some wrinkles around her eyes. Carol was impressed with the results — the effect was subtle but definitely an improvement. It was her first “baby step” into the world of cosmetic surgery and she was very happy with her decision.

YouTube/ The Doctors

As the years went on, Carol began noticing other changes in her appearance that annoyed her. Her cheeks were beginning to sag and her forehead was showing obvious wrinkles. Having already had a good experience, Carol decided to find out what type of cosmetic surgery could help with these new signs of aging. She eventually found a doctor who recommended injectable fillers. To Carol it sounded like a logical solution, but she had no idea how wrong she was.

YouTube/ The Doctors

At the age of 47 Carol underwent surgery to inject these fillers into her problem areas. Yet, as simple as the procedure sounds, it requires training and skills that — it turned out — the doctor she had chosen didn’t have. During the surgery, the doctor mixed two different types of fillers (one made of silicone) in one syringe and injected them in the wrong areas. Over the next three months, Carol’s face began to swell dangerously. At its worst point the swelling was so bad that she had to tape her eyelids open so she could see.

YouTube/ The Doctors

Carol sought medical help and a long process of corrective surgery began. To her disappointment, after four years of this, things had only gotten worse. Carol was so ashamed of her appearance that she wouldn’t even leave home. She felt like a monster and wouldn’t even let her friends and family see her.

YouTube/ The Doctors

In 2013, Carol’s daughter Sofia decided that something had to be done. She took some photos of her mother and sent them — along with a letter explaining her mother’s story — to hospitals all over the country. As Sofia followed up on this correspondence, she received one rejection after the other. That is until one day when she got a call from Dr. Reza Jarrahy, Co-Director of the UCLA Craniofacial Clinic. And it was good news: he wanted to help!

YouTube/ The Doctors

Thanks to Dr. Jarrahy, Carol now has a new life. “Now all I want is for this to happen to no one else, and I’ll do my best for it.” Carol’s story will hopefully serve as a warning to others who are considering cosmetic surgery. These procedures should not be taken lightly. They are also potentially dangerous and should only be performed by well-trained medical professionals. The bottom line: always get references and always find out about the risks!
