'I'm flat-chested on one side but lucky to be alive'
A woman has been left with one 32DDD boob after her nipple piercing caused her to have a deadly infection.
Nikki Belza has been left with only one 32DDD after her nipple piercing got caught on her work shirt and ripped her nipple off. The young lady thought nothing of it until the morning of her birthday when she woke up to excruciating pain under her left arm and collapsed at work, she was quickly rushed to hospital where her temperature was 104F, three times above the normal human body. Prior to her infection her husband had a throat infection which she then developed Streptococcal, the bacteria caused her body to for a deadly blood posing that lead to her left boob tissue raging forcing doctors to remove the implant to save her life.
Nikki, a cocktail waitress, said: “I was absolutely devastated to be left with only one boob, I am now completely flat-chested on one side, but I know how lucky I am to be alive" When she was first sent to the hospital the doctors thought nothing of it as they thought it was to do with her previous nipple surgery but when her temperature raised to 104.3F the following day then discovered that he had sepsis. Her white blood cell as 44,000 the highest her doctor has ever counted. Belza was facing a life and death situation and the only way for her to survive was for her left boob to be removed. After nine weeks she is still recovering and hopes to soon get new implants.
This relates to media as it is such a wide network which means that somewhere in the world someone could be acing the same or similar situation and can relate. It can also educate people of the dangerous of breast implants and the implication of it and opens eyes of different women and how they should be careful with these things. I choose this article as we live in a generation where a large amount of people are always trying new things to improve their bodies and make it look in a certain way that the media portrays their body should look without showing the problems it can cause. This article will really open the eyes of many females and encourage them to do full research on body mortification.
I really like the way you have both thoroughly explained the article and explained why you chose it due to your own opinion and how it relates to the subject. You could improve by choosing certain quotes from the article, such as Belza's quote about 'how lucky she is to be alive', and explaining what effect they have on the reader.
