What if the person injecting you had no license, no training, and no idea what was in the syringe? Dr. Kate Dee breaks down a disturbing Florida arrest involving a woman running a cosmetic clinic from her home and charging thousands for so-called professional treatments.

To put a human face on the risk, Dr. Dee speaks with past guest Bea Amma, who survived a nearly identical experience in 2021. Five years later, Bea shares a raw update on her ongoing recovery — from months in the hospital to years of IV antibiotics and multiple surgeries. This isn’t just news.
