Short YouTube transcript excerpt in which Robert Whitfield MD recounts becoming interested in breast implant illness after a patient’s culture swabs grew E. coli. He describes surprise at an underlying implant infection and says this encounter prompted him to listen to patients’ often puzzling symptoms (examples: brain fog, chronic inflammation).
So how did this happen that you got really interested in breast implant illness.
But she had on her laboratory analysis the culture swabs we did to look for bacteria. She had an E. Coli infection. Coli infection and that was really startling to me. So this poor lady had walked around for I don't know how long with this problem and it was really an underlying implant infection. And a little concern about what had happened with that patient led me just to try to listen as carefully as possible and try to understand these what seemed to be odd complaints at the time and things I didn't really appreciate like brain fog was a little confusing to me when I first started communicating with patients about it so I had to get it explained to me and just like symptoms of chronic inflammation ended.
Up you can't unsee what you start to learn and then as you start to ask people these questions I bet it was popping up again and again the.
Same complaints.
