She sues the doctor for putting them in and now decides she will keep them. I find this so typical of our justice system. Women can't be compensated for the their illnesses as a result of silicone implants and here is a women that is awarded $1.8 million and is keeping her implants. There is really something wrong with this picture.

Dr. Shaw has always enjoyed a good reputation, to my knowledge with UCLA Medical. ~~~ http://dailynews./h/nm/20010426/od/breasts_dc_1.html Reuters Ý Thursday April 26 9:57 AM ET Breasts Enlarged to 40DD -- Without Permission LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California Appeals Court has upheld a jury's decision to give a woman $1.08 million because a doctor surgically enlarged her breasts without her permission, but the woman has decided against getting the operation reversed because she no longer trusts doctors. An attorney for said she was ``ecstatic'' that a 2nd District Court of Appeal Panel in Los Angeles on Monday upheld a Superior Court jury finding that Dr. Shaw committed battery when he enlarged her breasts during surgery intended just to remove saggy excess skin. He enlarged her breasts from size 34B to 40DD. ``She's totally ecstatic and she feels that she got justice,'' attorney Larry Feldman said. He added his client never went for a breast reduction because ``she's lost faith in the medical profession.'' In the decision, the appeals panel relied on a California Supreme Court ruling that a doctor who receives consent to do one type of treatment on a patient but performs another without consent commits battery.
