Kids and Plastic Surgery Don't Go Together

In 1966, KK Hospital won a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest number of births in a single maternity facility.

The record was held for 10 years.

More than 86 percent of all births took place in KKH, where over 100 babies were delivered daily. I was born in KK. My brother, and all my cousins, and everybody I knew were born in KK.

But things have changed.

For the blur ones out there, KK Hospital has now got an Aesthetics, Reconstructive and Breast clinic.

It now offers women a whole range of beauty care services, slimming and cosmetic surgery - from breast reconstruction after a mastectomy to liposuction and jaw reduction.

In other words, you can now go to KK and get your breast implants, and liposuction while you're having your baby. I wonder whether they have a package for that.

A friend's friend's friend brought her kid to the hospital with some medical complaint. After doing the examination for the kid, the doctor turned to the mother and asked her to consider doing some radiowave treatment for her face to get rid of blemishes and pigmentation blah blah blah

I mean, it's expected right. Principles of Economics states that as long as there's a demand, somebody will cash in on it, and provide the 'supply'. Demand equals supply; everybody is happy. Everybody gets all the plastic they need, whether it be boobs or ringing credit card machines.

But will the doctors become obsessed with plastic as well, and instead of focussing on the healthcare needs of a very important part of society, the children, all they want to do is Aesthetics, Reconstructive and Breasts?

Will children be bombarded with 'suggestions' to aesthetically reconstuct their faces?

Will a woman with breast cancer be given all options and alternatives, or will she be simply dismissed with "Just cut off your breast. After all, we can give you a new and better one."

Will they be like the doctor that attended to my friend's friend's friend and her kid?

In 2016, will KK Hospital win a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most number of children that have undergone cosmetic surgery?
