Several
possible victims have come forward alleging a woman posing as a Florida
doctor and promising buttocks enhancement pumped their behinds with a
toxic concoction of cement, superglue and flat-tire sealant, state
health officials said yesterday. Oneal Ron Morris – who was born a man
and identifies as a woman – was arrested Friday after nearly a year on
the lam and charged with practicing medicine without a license with
serious bodily injury. Authorities say a victim figure paid Morris $700
for the injections in 2010. The victim suffered permanent scarring
around the injection sites. Shortly after the surgery, she went to the
hospital, but left because she was too embarrassed to tell doctors what
happened. The victim required multiple surgeries and had a 24-hour home
health aide for an extended period of time, the Department of Health
said. Officials said several possible victims have since come forward
alleging Morris performed similar procedures resulting in
life-threatening injuries. Morris has since been released from jail on a
bond. Her lawyer says she is innocent of the charges. Authorities said
Morris may be part of an underground plastic surgery ring in South
Florida.
