Todays video will be discussing the little known story of an unlicensed surgeon in california named John Ronald Brown who performed hundreds of illegal black market transsexual surgeries and mutilated hundreds of marginalized transgender people in the process.
It also explores the circumstances and social attitudes which led to this surgeon going mostly undetected for almost three decades.
Historically transgender individuals have been very vulnerable in society due to the prejudice, this video explores some of the ways that happened while also telling the chilling story of a rogue surgeon.

I live in Salt Lake. I am not Mormon. But you are sadly misinformed at best... purposefully maliciously dishonest at worst, concerning the whole 'Mormons are \//i0L3nt and/or illuminati-level adeptitude in scrubbing the unscrubbable internet' claim you made.
Most are good people and have done more for their neighbors/fellow man than you ever could.
I didn't say Mormon people were bad. I've met many they mostly seem decent. I said the people in charge of the religion can be, same as any other religion.
@@jason.larsenthedanishgreek1226 All he said was that some of the leaders are scummy and evil, not once did he mention the regular followers. Why do you want to defend them so badly?
@@PeakedInterest dry ballsack
@@jason.larsenthedanishgreek1226 idk man you're kinda coming across a lot less pleasant than you seemingly want to make mormons sound.
It hurts me that someone would take advantage of vulnerable people like this. He likely knew that his patients wouldn’t be able to hold him legally accountable for fear of outing themselves as Trans and he took advantage of them. Makes me physically sick that someone like this was ever allowed to practice medicine.
He definitely knew but he also seemed to be pretty delusional as well because he thought he was some kind of crusader for trans people. He was a very damaged individual
It’s equally disturbing that for some time the community he was actively playing “Operator” w/ saw him as a renegade doctor rebelling against the main stream medical orthodoxy. At the same time I have seen that type of anti-hero status given to people in other areas of life (i.e. Dr. Kavorkian, Jon Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde etc) who are behaving in violent and criminal ways so it seems to be a somewhat common phenomena.
He definitely isn't unique. A few years ago I had to have spine surgery so I was doing a lot of research on the subject. Apparently there was a neurosurgeon in Texas named Christopher Daniel Duntsch. His story for one is incredibly fascinating. But he was taking patients with serious spinal issues and making them worse. Took a few years for him to get caught, but man he was butchering people.
Kind of scary that people like this can end up in medical professions where often times they get away with it for quite some time.
@@doyoulikeduckmeat there is a series about him on Peacock called Dr death, and it's decent.
gotta get that bag
“The SCALPELS were so BLUNT that dr. Brown had to put immense pressure back and forth to cut the skin” - I had to pause the video this legit made my stomach hurt. It’s crazy to me how people can be so trusting of someone just because DR. In front of their name. I’ve worked with a few Drs and especially here in the US the majority have a god like complex or incredibly arrogant which is terrifying. This dr just seemed pure insane and evil. No concern for those people who looked to him for help when they had no other options. So sick.
This is what certain people are pushing trans individuals toward by denying their healthcare. You'll see the same thing with the reverse on roe Vs Wade too
@@PeakedInterest They'll never be a w
Blunt scalpels... seriously? They aren't all that expensive at all. Dude sounds like I could do surgery better with like this one ounce of medical knowledge.
I have four scalpels myself. They're cheap as shit
Heck, you can buy them pretty easily.
that's just beyond incompetence, he's a pure psychopath
@@nocnoc9931 dunno where you live but here you can freely order a scalpel for personal use just like you can order any other knife
@@nocnoc9931 Um. Nope. As a nursing student, I was able to obtain an entire dissection kit in a medical supply store. Didn't need a surgical license.
Anyone else get *chills* at the "tell me what you don't like about yourself" lines? The short films in between the true crime were outstanding. I hope you end up doing so many more like this!
Thank you. It's a format I'd been toying with for a while but couldn't find the right topic to use it until now. I was actually nervous everyone would hate those parts lol
@@PeakedInterest Not at all. You're an excellent filmmaker and your passion cascades off the screen. I hope you keep doing projects like this going forward!
There will be many more like this. Not always true crime because they're sometimes difficult to research because I am essentially immersing myself in someone elses suffering for a couple of months while researching so I can't promise every video will be true crime but they'll all have the same level of time care and effort
Dude that line really got me too. 😔
No but I did when the assistant asked how much to turn up the gas and the "Dr" said " Until tht patient passes the fuck out!"
Edit: oh there's a creepier second time he asks at the end. That was pretty gross

Hard to believe anyone would fall for this guys advertisement..then again Trump actually happend .
@@PeakedInterest a new subscriber from Perth West Australia & have been a true crime RUclips fanatic for years. Your channel has just dropped into my recommended from YT. I’m one happy girl! You’re channel just blows me away with its fabulously interesting, professional & unique format. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏.
It reminds me of when I had my first rhinoplasry. I went under the knife back in 2017, for purely aesthetic reasons and to fix a minor breathing issue. It was okay for a while, and then my nose started to shift. One nostril went far up, and I couldn't breathe at all. There was a sharp pain on the left side of my nose bridge, up to my eye when I touched it, so I finally went to a doctor when I lived in Korea. This was 5 years after. I got a scan of my skull, for free, and they showed me the results. I did not have a nose bone anymore, there was some unknown tissue in my nose, which they couldn't identify even after they removed it. They also had to inform me that not undergoing surgery again would very likely kill me, since an infection of my tissue had started spreading towards my eyes and brain. So of course I decided to undergo surgery a second time. And it honestly was the best thing I could have ever done. After my first visit it was scheduled 4 weeks after, due to my uni schedule. During that time some rotten smelling fluid started leaking from my nose and the stench of rotten flesh did not go away until after surgery, my nose also got so red, hot and swollen that I was scared it would burst.
The second surgery went super well, it's been around 5 months now and I can finally breathe again! My nose turned out super pretty, but I'm mainly happy to not be in pain anymore.
The scariest thing about the story though was that my original surgeon had a very good reputation, was in a very well known hospital and was actually recommended to me by the chamber of doctors. (A German thing I suppose). Later he got his license renounced because he disfigured many, many women. One even died after she had a liposuction done by him. He was sued, and me and my family plan on sueing him too.
It was very scary to go through something like that, and I hope all the other victims are able to find some peace in their life.
The doctors name, if anyone is interested is Sebastian Voigt, he was a German plastic surgeon, and here in Germany he was on the news a while back.
It should also be noted that during the time of my first surgery I was 15 years old, which means not only did he willingly risk someone's life, he willingly risked the life of a child.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, I do hope that you don't have too many side effects/health conditions from what he has done.
I get very paranoid of surgeons for top surgery for myself (Trans) it is very scary to put trust in someone simply because they have a DR in front of their names but honestly I'm sorry for what happened to you, people can be so cruel in this world.
Really sorry to hear you experienced something like that. Hope it doesn't bother you anymore and hope the case goes well.
This is some human-centipede shit. Great production though. You’ve once again Peaked [sic] my Interest!

@@PeakedInterest You win this time lol
The drug used for AVERSION (not conversion) therapy was APOMORPHINE, not morphine. It is derived from morphine but has no opioid effects, just emesis (nausea and vomiting) and some other strange side effects.
That's two good catches there. my mistakes. Thanks for the correction
@@PeakedInterest Is always fun to get a reply from the video creator thanks
Unbelievable that apomorphine's deterrent effects have been known for so long but never utilized. Those strange side effects must be awfully intense/life threatening. I recall Burroughs mentioning it in Junky as a sort of proto-methadone (or more like antabuse to alcohol). Hmm.
@@rudemaminsynek5925 how in gods name would you wanna use it?
@@rudemaminsynek5925 I love Burroughs as a writer, but when it came to medicine, he didn't really know his ass from a talking hole in the ground. Sorry, no disrespect to the man but it's true. He knew a lot about opioids from personal experience, but when it came to brain chemistry, he knew a lot less than neurologists at the time, who already didn't have a lot to go on.
It's also noteworthy that at the time he was touting apomorphine, he was trying to convince everyone he was clean when he was in fact, not. So its possible (we'll never know for sure) that he was just using it as an explanation for why he was seemingly doing so well off the junk.
I'm torn between the fact that this story would make an absolutely killer splatter film and the fact that some transphobes would *definitely* take it the wrong way and use it as an excuse to call all surgeons who operate on trans people 'Dr Browns'
When researching it I thought the same thing. It would make an excellent psychological thriller.
There is a sex change movie starring Antonio Banderas I forgot the movie
@@3rd.Eye.Saw.Destruction gross why would you do that haha
@Kurwa_dobreyn john money is some dude who was really bad and wrote some books about stuff lmao
@@PeakedInterest
"Vomit inducing doses of morphine" God why did I have to be born after the golden age of narcotics. Back when you could buy cocaine and morphine at the local soda fountain.
Same, I was in the hospital post-gallbladder surgery and I was in agony the whole time. They flat out refused to give me adequate pain relief. I was literally scream crying 24/7 and they just said "sorry, we're giving you all the medicine we can".
I had a few hours in that hospital where I wasn't in terrible pain, before the surgery when I initially came to the er they gave me an injection of Dilaudid. Which to be fair may have been a bit more than needed (I admit I got a little rush when it first went in but it was far from overdose territory, I was completely awake and alert). But it did get me out of pain, I asked for it after the surgery but they said they could only give that in the er.
At first after the surgery they were just giving me Tordal (which is an NSAID, so basically just extra extra strength Ibuprofen), they did relent to giving me morphine but that didn't touch the pain either (at least not in the amount they were giving me), and even at that they were pushing me to get off the pain medicine and let them discharge me.
Even though it hurt so much to breathe that my oxygen levels dropped to where they hooked me up to an oxygen machine, which wouldn't have been necessary if they had just treated the pain enough.
@@sunnyquinn3888 damn, where do you live? I have had 15 surgeries and they always gave me the good shit. After my spine surgery they had me on fintanyl and oxycodone at the same time.
@@doyoulikeduckmeat Dang, where do YOU live? Lol, this was in Ocala Florida. Medical system in general is screwed in Florida and the opioid phobia among doctors is especially bad. If I ever get cancer or something like that that's extremely painful, I would seriously consider moving to Oregon where they've decriminalized everything. People try me too much and I'm gonna move there anyway lol.
@@sunnyquinn3888 I live in Oregon but if I had a condition that required huge amounts of pain meds I would move to Utah.
@@doyoulikeduckmeat Why Utah?
Cases of medical malpractice like this always give me the creeps. It's also incredibly sad how those people were driven to the point of desperation where they went to a shady "clinic" like this just so they could get the procedure they needed, but then they wake up and realize that this doctor just straight up mutilated their body. That would be my worst nightmare. Reminds me of the story of that sketchy back alley abortion clinic.
as someone who was mutilated by a surgeon during a routine surgery and now have a body disfigurement, and was left with a staph infection and refused antibiotics post op, i find it horrifying how common these types of things are, and how rarely they are talked about. if the victim isnt killed by the malpractice, their life is severely affected. i will likely have pain for the rest of my life. thank you for bringing light to these stories

the character who said this is transgender
yes
so?
@@bxxtrr he wanted those sweet upvotes, so he appealed to identity. Super lame.
he said that the character is transgender because it is relative to this video's subject. don't be daft.
The creator of that is not a great dude and fetishized that characters female anatomy
The absolute madlad did it again.
He produced another amazing documentary.
This was so cool to watch, looking forward to your next vids
Thank you. Genuinely too kind
How ironic that he died from a condition in prison that's treatable in a hospital...
I just want to applaud the witnesses for coming out about their treatment during court. It probably was a very daunting task, especially considering they were risking themselves to become open to backlash and bigotry.
i was thinking this as well, even people within this comment section refuse to hold their tongue. calling the patients "idiots" and saying its their own fault for "going against gods will".
its disgusting, too much focus on the patient and not the sick bastard that conducted these "surgeries" in the first place
WHY were insurance companies paying someone that's not even a surgeon??? Just because he was a "Dr."?
This was "the good old days" you know when it was easy to create fraud because most things were just printed forms with little to no evidence required
Dude this video gave me the shivers. A great insight into the dark corners of medicine. It felt like I was watching a horror movie.
Thanks, I was really aiming for that in parts so I really appreciate that
Research Dr. D aka Christopher Daniel Duntsch. Sick shit, I learned about him a couple days before having spine surgery. You will understand when you look him up.
How is no one talking about the amount of effort put into the cut scenes in this video? The "awake in surgery" at the 20:12 mark feels like a legitimate cut scene out of a horror video game. The props. The voice overs. The accent in the opening interview. The music. The POV placement of the anesthesia mask like some sort of anti-ASMR pov video. The dramatic swig of whiskey. The mood-lighting. The WIG. His wig snatched MINE.
He put so much theatricality into these scenes, and I seriously appreciate the extra effort and RUclips artistry so much... I was listening to this while I was doing uni hw, at first I thought it was an actual audio recording of the surgeon when the surgical promo began. My eyebrows climbed all the way up and I had to do a double take and switch back to the RUclips tab just to see the visuals and realize that it was not in fact the true-to-life ad put into the documentary.
The topic is obviously really dark and morose, but the cut scenes don't detract from the horrors of these crimes OR make light of them, which is a really hard balance to strike. This was handled so epically. I subbed two videos ago, but I turned on my bell notifs after going back into the channel and finding this gem.
Thank you! I'm really proud of this this video so thanks so much
This is the craziest story I've ever heard that's outside of a true crime serial killer dedicated only storyline.. this is like a different demented form of Dexter where instead of what he did, this doctor covered his serial killing tendencies and other sociopath like self enrichment behavior that takes advantage of the weak and poor and broken to further inflate his ego and power complex.
Yep, he's a pretty disgusting human being
I love how this gave me the chills but i couldn't stop watching... And eventually watched it twice. Very interesting and entertaining at the same time. Makes me think about how when one feels helpless, another one will always be there to try and benefit from it. The tone of the fictional parts is perfect! Keep up the great job!
Thank you for such a fantastic channel! I’m currently binging all your videos from my home in Perth Western Australia 🫶👌
Please keep doing these kinds of mystery/crime videos, they’re honestly the best kind I’ve seen and I’ve watched just about any channel doing this kind of content, we’d love it if you kept going 🙏🏻
The fact thathe used "Crazy Glue" is very fitting in a morbid way...
It doesn’t include your funny pun lol, but, that makes me think of the butt lift “surgeons” today who just….inject cement into the person’s butt 🥴
I mean I can kinda see why they might think it would work, super glue was originally made to seal wounds in the war but I don’t think that crazy glue would be safe
Man, you are unbelievably talented! Seriously! I hope you find success and fulfilment if you ever choose any career related to the productions you do in these videos, you make the stories utterly fascinating without overdoing them! I give you my deepest congratulations and most sincere respect!
Thank you! That's really nice praise. Genuinely appreciate it
As someone who has been considering top surgery this absolutely terrifies me. I know that this is a select case, but its still quite scary.
If you do go through with it i hope everything goes good :)
I hope it doesn't put you off the surgery, the vast majority of surgeons want to help you.
If you need anyone to talk to feel free to DM on Twitter or insta I'm always ready to listen
Don’t be afraid! Surgery is always scary but no qualified surgeon would ever do anything like this. All the Trans people I know who have had top surgery are so much happier for it. If you decide it’s right for you I hope it goes well 💝
@RK mind your musty business.
Might I reccomend Align Surgical? They're in San Francisco and they did my top surgery and facial surgery. Both went great. They take most insurances.
the quality of your content is so good. Truly on par with some of the higher budget true crime shows. Keep up the good work man, i’m hoping the YT algorithm blesses you.
Wow. Youre a one man production company. I really appreciate all your work. Amazing stuff
Thank you. Not entirely I do hire musicians to compose original music for me sometimes but they're always credited in the opening credits
i always come back to this video. it's so well narrated and the cutscenes are the cherry on top.
Thanks, I was always very unsure about the cut scenes
Just want to thank you Peaked Interest - I was feeling a tad down tonight, then I started watching this video. Your manner, editing and storytelling was exactly what I needed to distract me and lift my mood. Cheers ❤️
Well I'm very happy I could help. I hope you stick around for more videos.

Holy shit, the use of intestinal lining to make a vagina is one of the most horrific things I've ever heard in my life.
In intestinal Vaginoplasty, an intestinal segment will be used to create a Vagina. Bowel segment vaginoplasty can be performed in transgender women for different reasons: Insufficient penoscrotal skin or when penile or penoscrotal inversion technique has failed.

This is so saddening and sickening, thank you for coming from such a neutral position and giving people the facts.
How someone can prey on people who are looking to find comfort in themselves and take advantage of and try to harm them for that makes my blood boil
I would hope at least one of those people would see something like this and realize comfort in themselves comes from within and who they truly are, rather than mutilating and sterilizing their bodies.
It’s weird that someone who wants to cut off their genitals and be the other gender is stunning and brave and definitely mentally sound. But someone who wants to cut off their own leg and live as an amputee is mentally unwell and needs therapy
Well you have to remember that originally people wanting sex change were considered mentally ill, as we're gay people it's only with the advance of society and a better understanding of psychology that conditions became more widely accepted and more understood. Perhaps some day in the future the person wanting to cut of their leg will be understood in the same way.
Anyone can cut off whatever they want, but a society can only drag along so many people who contribute nothing. How many of them end up being productive members of society who pay taxes and keep medicare funds up? Enabling people to form a new caste of victims who have to be taken care of and pandered to 24/7 spells disaster, that's basically my only issue. You're self sufficient? Mutilate yourself in any way you please.
Hey Lee, great video! I enjoyed it for the most part evan though it was kinda hard to sit through given all the scary and gross things he did to those people. That fearful feeling of disqust was cemented even more in me via those interludes, but it was definitely worth it to hear the story and if you meant to disqust and scare the viewer you did a great job!
Sweet, that means it landed exactly as I wanted. The interludes were designed to try and create the experience of those poor patients in the viewer to help us empathasize a little more. So glad it came across how I planned
Just found your channel today, and I really like the way you present your subjects. Keep it up, you're doing great
Thank you, there's another one coming very soon. Appreciate the nice feedback
You are going to get so much hell for the skits in this video. Lol. Good on you for it. Love ur videos. Your channel is no where near as popular as it should be.
You think so? I wanted to try and convey how it might feel to be one of those patients
@@PeakedInterest You definitely did a great job at that. It was chilling to be honest and I'm sure not far off from the reality of the situation. That's one thing I love about ur videos that sets u apart from other "real crime" type mystery channels. Your video skills and skits add a very human aspect that is missing from other creators just talking about their research into the camera. And the reason I said u would get hell is just because it's a sensitive topic that is hard to talk about without pissing SOMEONE off. Lol. I think a lot of the case's points carry over into the way trans people are treated today. It honestly feels like science has abandoned truly helping these people and are putting them on a conveyor belt that isn't good for anyone. I am glad that SOME people can more easily get the help they need but the conveyor belt moves so quickly that many are not treated properly. This was just a very extreme case of a horrible person. I am NO expert by any means, this is just such a complicated issue these days. Keep up the good work. As always, I am looking forward to ur next project.
I'm following now. I did have that worry when I picked this story, that some of the more....conservative viewers might take offence and send me hate. Then I realised, the story and the issue is more important than whatever small negative impact it has for me, also it's no real loss if those people unsubscribe.
Some other true crime/mystery channels seem to just cover what will get clicks but I decided if I can I want to say something about the state of society with the stories I tell. I won't always be able to do it but it is always my aim.
Well I don't want to be unfair and say conservatives because I know some reasonable conservatives but definitely the more rabid right wing ones are better off elsewhere really
@@lindsey4178 what conveyor belt are we being put on?
So glad you made that community post, I didn't get the notification for this video! Excellent production, and not too shabby on that American accent 👌😂
Really? Thanks. It's really hard to judge your own acting so it sounded like a bad accent to me. Any bits you think I could improve should I use it again in future?
I'm Canadian so maybe not the best ear for it, but it sounded like a decent generic, cocky American accent to me 😂
That's good. I was going for generic American.
Just found your channel. You got yourself a new subscriber, love the way you bring the stories. Now, time for me to dive into the backlog o.o
Thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of what's on offer. It's a bit eclectic at times but hopefully still good
Absolutely fantastic video! I love your thoroughness. Just a few points I'd like to mention...
With regards apotenophilia, or body integrity dysphoria, it comes as a great surprise to me that John Money was one of the first to describe the condition. I first heard about this condition on an episode of the National Geographic Channel's documentary series, "Taboo". That episode featured a man who had successfully got doctors to amputate his leg after inducing necrosis in the leg by placing it in a bucket of dry ice for hours. The impression I got of the syndrome is that it's not so much the desire to live as an amputee, but rather the experience of the undesired body part as something alien and repulsive - an ever-present feeling that it should not be a part of oneself. The individual in the documentary reported being very much happier and satisfied with his life after losing the leg that since childhood he has suffered through feeling like it was something alien on his body. I don't know if this was Money's understanding of the syndrome, but I'm sure you know that Money is another highly controversial figure - his forced gender reassignment of David Reimer as a child, after he was a victim of a botched circumcision that destroyed his penis, is now generally believed to have resulted in Reimer's death by suicide, as well as the suicide of his brother.
With regards the Krazy Glue - this may not have been as (no pun intended) crazy as it sounds - some studies have shown that similar cyanoacrylate glues can indeed be successfully used to seal medical incisions, and in some cases may in fact be preferential to sutures. I once watched a documentary which suggested that in a post-apocalyptic situation, it might be feasible, in the absence of other options, and no possibility of medical help, to seal wounds with superglue. Of course, this is NOT something you would want to try in normal life!!!!
I agree to an extent on apotnophilia though were essentially saying the same thing in different terms. I maybe mischaracterised it a little by describing it as a Desire to live as an amputee (as though they're festishizing the condition) when really the desire is to remove the body part though the outcome is the same in both cases. Also agree on John money is he is very...difficult character which is why I tried not to mention him too much but he is there in the genesis of the term (even if the condition was described slightly sooner)
With regard to crazy glue it isn't really that crazy for superficial lacerations (army medics sometimes use it) but you wouldn't use it for invasive surgery at all as it carries too many infection risks.
They do use a type of glue in surgery (seem this first hand) but it's a glue that's comprised of plasma and other elements of your own body fluids then it can both be absorbed and the risk of infection is much lower.
@@PeakedInterest Thanks for the educational response! :-). Please keep making videos, I enjoy them tremendously. This type of video definitely suits your research and presentation skills. I understand it is a tremendous amount of work to make them.
You're welcome. I know a lot of RUclipsrs say they read comments and blah blah but I actually do look out for comments about specific things or questions because it's a good opportunity to learn something, and that goes for me too. I've had people comment on things and teach me stuff I didn't know so for me it's well worth reading and responding
Man's underrated You deserve way more subs.
Thanks man. Hopefully they'll keep coming
Great vid! I can see how much time and effort that you put into each one that you do. Keep up the great work!!!! :)
Thank you
Worst part is he was named after one of the greatest American freedom fighter that ever existed.
Really sad how few views this video has in comparison to some of your other work, you conveyed this story really perfectly and I think it's one that, though brutal and frightening, is an important part of history in the trans community.
This video is amazing! The skits are sooo good!
Ooooft, that ending 😬 gave me the chicken
What a horrific, documented story. As if Trans people didn't (unfortunately persistent til this day) struggle enough against prejudice and oppression, along comes Brown-stain to make it worse.
Thank you, Lee! They said the sky was the limit, yet your productions are out of this world 👏🏻
That is such a kind thing to say, thank you!
@@PeakedInterest as Clyde Oktober said, you're criminally underrated! Your content is great! Hell, it's not hard to compliment you and your work, so I'll drop a reverse Uno, thank you!
I'll keep making them as long as people keep watching.
@@PeakedInterest looking forward to future content, and to your continued growth (as it's well deserved) 👌🏻😃
Dude your content is so good you deserve much more recognition
Thanks man, hopefully over time it'll get more popular
It definitely will
As a transgender individual living in 2023, I fear that this will soon become a problem again. With hormone therapy and basic healthcare being taken away in many US states. It’s sad to see out country go back in time instead of pressing forward into the future.
I agree. The US used to pride itself on freedom and now it seems to pride itself on removing them
@@PeakedInterestThis couldn’t be any more true. The US seems to pride itself in killing pride.
ANOTHER GOLD CONTENT!! More of this please!!!! Love u peak!
Thanks man, that's super nice of you to say
“Turn it up.”
“How much?”
“UNTIL THEY’RE PASSED THE FUCK OUT!!!”
I loved that line. Glad you enjoyed it too
@@PeakedInterest it reminded me of that scene in Seinfeld when the dentist (Walter White) takes a hit of the laughing gas mask before putting it on Jerry.
The vibration during the awake section was a really nice touch. I've never seen that in a video before. Is that w new feature on RUclips?
Nope that was all down to my music composer
Thank you so much for covering this story.
Thank you for watching it. Appreciate you giving me a few minutes of your time
There’s a reason for licensing and approved best practices however slow the due process ! The first clue when a medical professional bypass’s safety for vulnerable patients should be the one that STOP’s one but they also have slick answers to that because they themselves would never ever succumb to desperate risk !
Great video and the effort is awesome and a pleasure to watch ! ✨🇺🇸✨🙏🏼✨
Thank you, that's very kind. I worked hard on this and it was a nightmare to research so I do appreciate it
@@PeakedInterest I appreciate your sense of humor and justice especially on subjects that bring high emotional response and division , you bring information on the various opinions and data encouraging people to discern facts from fiction and decide in their own mind what be true , I actually watch your video’s to get perspective because you aren’t biased your realistic ! Love your accent too ! 🙏🏼
By accident I'll presume you mean my natural English one and not the shaky American one I adopted for the video lol
@@PeakedInterest Of course your melodic English accent ! It’s great even when you are effecting an American voice, I love English accents and Celtic too and I am Irish by ancestry with German and Pacific Islander mix but American sounds so droll in comparison LOL !!! Your “ sense “ is anything but common these days when everything is upside down and divided , I even like all the period movies and the dignified manners of the British I sometimes think I was born in the wrong century and Country ! 👍🏻🦉
Great video!! I think you do a really good job of gathering all the correct information while making it entertaining. It would be interesting to see your take on a 'dentist' named Howard Schneider. It's incredibly disturbing especially since it's related to children.
A truly unique vid bruv, cheers!
Thanks very much Mr Monkey
Mate. I've got to say that you're videos are of a really high quality and you deserve way more views than you get. I'm sure they will come though. Best of luck with the future!
Thanks very much. As long as people find my work interesting then I'm achieving my goals
As someone who is going in for a top surgery consultation in 20 days and getting surgery in December after having spent months combing through local surgeons to find the non-sketchiest one as possible, this video gets at my greatest fears.
Probably a wise decision to skip the video, some parts might be distressing.
Video aside if you ever need someone to chat to about things my DM on both twitter and insta are always open. I may not be able to give much advice as a cis guy but I can listen.
Hope you're well and it goes well
Don't get it. Don't alter your body where it isn't needed. I've had surgeries on my genitals for unrelated reasons, and i can say recovery and scar tissue never works out well. TTexulsansic (sp?) does videos about it you might want to watch. Just be the lesbian you were born. :(
@@WatermelonPeppermint shut up, he doesn't care. It's not your problem
@WatermelonPeppermint a massive range of factors go into recovery from surgery and what might have worked out less than ideal for you may work out fine for someone else.
You wouldn't tell someone not to get a job because the jobs you've had were all bad. Nor would you tell someone to stay celebate because sex for you was always boring and both of these examples are less punishing on your sense of self than changing gender
@@WatermelonPeppermint also that leopard print bag that you have is ugly
Great video, I like long ones even though that's not what generally really works on RUclips. I also really appreciate the work put into the small scenes, and especially the multitude of sets. Also I don't know if that's my screen but during these the image seemed a bit too dark. That might only be me thought, I watched it on my phone with not ideal lighting conditions.
Some scenes are dark by design but I did try to consider that most people would be watching on phones in non ideal conditions and tried to make them lighter a little, ultimately I was trying to maintain a particular atmosphere at certain times
@@PeakedInterest yeah I know, thats atmosphere was great and sometimes created a bit of comic relief
Appreciate the positive feedback.
You mentioned Dr Hirschfeld and he would be a good topic for a video himself. The man was fascinating.
I'll add him to the list and cover him in future
John Money as well, that guy was a monster. And sadly uncritically quoted by homophobes even today.
very nice and entertaining production. 💞
This video is SO interesting and well done. Thank you for taking the time to create this well researched content for us viewers xo.
The skit was straight out of Tales From the Crypt. That ending especially? Could've been an episode called Doctor Blades. Like the entire aura of that show was in it lol. Even the catchphrase is perfect.
Well I have to admit the catchphrase was stolen from nip/tuck but I thought it was very appropriate for the topic. The rest however was all my idea and execution.
I feel sorry for the patients at Dr. Molina's surgery I bet they got alot of nasty infections during their recovery the office was a literal petrie dish
Ofc i discover htis channel in the middle of the night and now i cant stop watching cause its so interesting
It's 2AM where i live, can relate
under rated channel my dude good shit
Thank you, I just try to make interesting videos
I honestly thought the stuff on the startup family was a bit at first. Truth truly is stranger than fiction.
Same Here...I Thought It Was The Beginning of a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKIT!! 💀💀💀
This channel is so unique!
"How much?"
"Until the patient passes tf out." 🤣
This playlist of True crimes is the most wonderful horror and thriller I found on the internet, it has low videos but high quality content
Thank you. There's gonna be another added in a couple of weeks.
@@PeakedInterest excellent
I remember watching an episode of Jerry Springer which had a person who chopped off their legs due to body integrity disorder
It was also in an episode of nip/tuck too
I deeply wish we could focus as a society on addressing the mental health issues some people carry, instead of encouraging them to cut off body parts.
A horrifying story! Amazing video
Thank you, really appreciate that
I really like the acting scenes throughout this video. It's a really unique way of telling this story. And it helps you feel even more empathy to his victims, because you're seeing through their eyes.
Not sure if you're gonna keep doing acting scenes like this in other videos, but I really like it (well, I mean, it's horrifying, the real details of what happened, but you know what I mean, it's just a really good way to tell this story)
your channel is so underrated
Holy shit are you under-appreciated in the grand scheme of RUclips I’m so happy to have discovered you fuck yeah
Thanks, that's a super nice thing to say. Hopefully I can keep you entertained in future too
'his pants would fall down during surgery'
This would be hilarious if he wasn't so terrifyingly incompetent and exploitative.
Right? The interviewer even mentions the exact same sentiment, they thought it was funny until they remembered this was a man entrusted with people's bodies and lives
I follow you already for a time...your editing and way of telling is so good 👍
Thank you, that's super nice of you to say
@@PeakedInterest wish you the best, you deserve it (๑و•̀ω•́)و
Thank you, that's so nice
I had it queued up in a playlist while I went to bed and it started playing while I was asleep... it legit gave me nightmares lol
Sorry about that. Some scenes were intended to create the sense of danger and unease that these patients went through but I didn't want to actually give people nightmares
@@PeakedInterest Oh no worries, you crafted a really well made and unsettling documentary. It takes a lot to genuinely frighten me. I should be more careful about what I listen to at night anyway haha.
Losing a limb seems to be deep rooted fear of mine for whatever reason, it's one of the most recurring themes in bad dreams I have. Makes it all the more shocking to me that there are people who have a deep rooted compulsion to seek it out.
Yeah, crazy compulsion, I was even more surprised to find there's actually a biological component to the disorder too
Wow, what a butcher.
My original title for the video was the butcher of Tijuana
I worry about people who get hooked on plastic surgery. It's very easy to have it becomes a horrible addiction of trying to "fix" whatever the last fix was supposed to"fix" and it just seems to go poorly for everyone except the surgeon, who laughs all the way to the bank.
Surgeons are *supposed* to refer patients for psychological counseling before they'll agree to operate to rule out or diminish body dysmorphia but the US obsession with deregulation, profits and privatisation means it very rarely actually happens.
Was wondering if you had disappeared 😂😂 cheers for the video and can't wait to listen and dissect it later tonight
''dissect'' it later......mwaaa hahahaha!!
your content is very well put together. i am happy to subscribe
Thank you, I do my best to give maximum effort every time
i love your content more and more with every video you put out.
Thank you. I try to put the same level of effort and time into videos regardless of topic or style. I know people really enjoy the true crime stuff I make and that's great, I do also hope they give other types a chance too
As a trans person with a fear of medical things this was super hard to watch, but I had to because of how well you made it and how morbidly interesting this was. It's infuriating to hear about this man taking advantage of such vulnerable people. Can't even understand why. Was it just the money? Some sort of sick satisfaction? Probably both.
Thank you for this video and all the care you put into it! It's super well made, and anytime I see such clear support for us it makes me incredibly happy. It's exhausting to see all of the hatred trans people get, so thank you for showing your support.
Apologies if this is all jumbled, it's very late, but I wanted to say what I was thinking. Thank you for this video
Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave such a well considered comment. I try to find stories which not only are interesting but also say something about an aspect of society. I'd like to cover more trans and LGBTQ stories in future.
Your presentation is amazing
Thank you. I work pretty hard to make the videos engaging so it's always nice to hear I've actually achieved that
Been really loving your videos recently. I think the format though where you make comedy skits isn't as funny though... maybe it's just clashing with the seriousness of your topic though. Keep it up though I'm subbed
They're not supposed to be comedic. Just dark. I've obviously missed the mark
"And it won't cost you an arm or a leg!"
*people literally lost limbs because of the surgery*
That was the dry dark humour
I unfortunately found a castration video, he starts with a complacent client and through out the ordeal keeps Sshhing them while they keep say oow ouch!
On RUclips?
@@PeakedInterest no way! and the video is still available on certain blogs.
Don't suppose you can point me in the direction of said video?
great content as usual
As a trans MtF person currently doing some soul searching about if I should go through with SRS and has quite some anxiety about the whole thing. I think ill give this video a miss lmao
Im sure its really well done and respectful at any rate
I can understand that, the story is a tough one for someone in your position and there are also some first perspective surgery sections to illustrate the ordeal too, that could be difficult for you.
Video aside if you ever need to talk about stuff my twitter and insta DM are always open, I know there isn't much I can offer in the way of advice being a cis person but I can definitely listen.
@@PeakedInterest thanks, Ill throw a follow on twitter your way, i appreciate the offer :)
You're very welcome, if people talked and listened more we'd all fight less.
Part of my aim here is to use stories as a vehicle to change perspective on things, people and issues..last video was racial issues and justice this time round it was trans issues.
I find if you hide the message behind a story it tends to resonate more with those that normally remain ignorant.
Get well soon
