Very interesting results from this study ... what is causing infections months after the initial surgery?

I suspect that non-sterile operating rooms are partly

the fault. . . .It would be interesting to know how

many of these implant surgeries were done in the

plastic surgeon's surgical suite?

Dr. Blais knew, from examining Shari's capsules, that

her plastic surgeon's surgical suite had a dropped

ceiling!

mie was done in an old house in one of the oldest parts of New Orleans. With the termites and mold problems we have here in LA one must wonder how sterile it could have been?
