In this short, the speaker recounts a recent appointment with a physician shortly before a scheduled breast implant explant surgery. The patient explains that the implants have been causing significant health issues, prompting a decision to have them removed. When the patient informs the doctor of the upcoming explant, the physician reacts with surprise and immediately asks whether the patient plans to replace the implants with saline ones, rather than acknowledging the patient's concerns or offering support. The speaker expresses frustration, emphasizing that they have no desire to have any implants back in their body and describing the situation as a mess.

Her very first question was, so are you swapping them out for saline ones instead? And I said, no, why on earth would I put something back in my body? You know, it's so— it's just, it's a mess.
