What if the person injecting you had no license, no training, and no idea what was actually in the syringe?

Dr. Kate Dee breaks down a disturbing Florida arrest that's making headlines. A woman was running a full cosmetic clinic out of her home, charging patients thousands of dollars for injections she claimed were professional-grade treatments.

What doctors found inside the victim's body tells a very different story. And when the suspect walked out of her bail hearing without expressing any remorse. Dr. Kate Dee brought in the one guest who could speak to this story better than anyone else.

Past guest Bea Amma lived through something almost identical back in 2021. Now, five years later, she's back with a raw and honest update on where her recovery actually stands. From three months in the hospital to years of daily IV antibiotics to surgeries she wasn't sure she'd survive, Bea's story puts a human face on what these cases really cost. This isn't just a news story.
For Bea, it never stopped being personal.

If you've ever booked a cosmetic treatment without asking the right questions, this conversation will change how you think about that decision.

Press play and learn what Bea knows now that she wishes she had known before her very first appointment.
