A
woman who says she was body-shamed by doctors and nurses while on the
operating table — and that she has an audio file, from a recorder hidden
in her weave, to prove it — is speaking out about the “physical,
mental, and emotional scars” it has caused her.
“When
you are lying there and these people have you uncovered and you trust
them and they speak like this, it’s a bad situation,” Ethel Easter, of
Houston, tells Yahoo Beauty through tears about her experience at Lyndon
B. Johnson Hospital in Houston, where she had hernia surgery in August
to help correct a severe case of acid reflux.
“It’s given me self-esteem
issues.”
