| VSMMC "Black Suede" Scandal A subject of an ongoing investigation for a serious breach in the code of ethics among medical practitioners. One of the biggest slaps in the face of the Philippine's medical community. this video shows an ongoing operation for a removal of a foreign object, an Avon Black Suede body spray (thus, the title)lodged inside the rectum of a gay man attended by more than 10 people inside an OR suite. this video shows a lot of serious threats to the sterility of the area and the procedure, gross disrespect to the patient and shows a lot more immaturity and unprofessionalism by the hospital's surgeons, interns, nurses, and its affiliating schools nursing students and clinical instructor/s. _____________________________________ brief history of the patient: On december 31 Danilo (not his real name) met a man on the street offering to have sex with him for a price of P100. He brought the man home and had sex with him but he bruised the man's ego by criticizing the size of his manhood. Apparently challenged, the man asked Danilo to have sex again and despite his saying "no" continued anyway. Danilo felt a little pain but fell asleep after that. The next day, he can't locate his Avon Black Suede body spray canister and instantly feared the worst because he claimed to have felt something painful inside his body which became worse during urination. He only decided to tell his family last January 2 so as not to affect his family's new year's day celebration. He was brought to Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (a government-owned hospital) for a consultation where the doctors discovered that there was a foreign object lodged in his rectum. He was scheduled for an operation the next day. This video is what happened next. _____________________________________________ update: May 14, 2008 source: sun.star cebu (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2008/05/14/news/2.vsmmc.doctors.1.nurse.suspended.for.3.months.html) the patient has already been identified as genaro jorolan (the florist/patient/cannister victim) after he has filed a "violation of the Code of Ethical Standadards for Public Officers and Employees" at the office of Deputy Ombudsman - Visayas.
