Do I Have a Shot at Compensation From Planned Parenthood? (Disfigurement from Procedure)?

I contracted condyloma (commonly referred to as genital warts) from a sexual assault. I went to Planned Parenthood for treatment. I inquired as to what treatments they had available and the medical assistant suggested that I do a TCA peel. I asked if it could cause any complications and she said "No." While the nurse was performing the procedure, I asked her whether there were any risks. She replied "No, I’ve never seen anyone have any problems from this."

After the procedure, my labia majora turned dark grey for a week. Afterwards, the skin severely sagged 2 inches. For lack of a better term, it has a ‘camel toe’ appearance and I cannot wear a bikini without worrying about the huge buldge in my private area.

At the very beginning of the metting with the medical assistant, she asked me to sign a form. I was naive and quickly signed, because I was so incredibly nervous and embarassed. It had this line in it. "I have been given information about the test(s), treatment(s), procedure(s), contraceptive method(s), to be provided, including the benefits, risks, possible problems/complications and alternate choices."

However, because both the medical assistant and the nurse told me there were no risks, I believed them. How am I to know that the clinician has thouroughly told me all of the risks when I have no idea what the risks were? I had no idea what a TCA peel even use. I had no idea it was going to sting so bad and hurt for two hours after the procedure.

I am having surgery in about 3 weeks. My surgeon has taken pictures of my genitals and they look absolutely disgusting.

Should I consult with an attorney? What are my chances?

Ok, what is your deal? You have asked this exact same question under your name five times before (this is the SIXTH time you have ask the same question). I think you actually have more than one account, if you are also "Give Me Some Hope" and "Maria," then this is your 25TH TIME ASKING THE SAME QUESTION.

Talk to an attorney: Sounds like it’s probably negligence and it’s certainly lack of informed consent.

The surgery is going to cost $5000. I am a full time college student with no employment. (Involved in many volunteer positions and school organizations so I have no free time to work.)

Could I get Planned Parenthood to compensate me for the surgery?
Ignorance: We agree for once! Yes, they indeed only gave me that general consent form. You have stated that they should have given a specific form for the TCA peel and the specific risks. I agree entirely. I am calling a medical malpractice attorney tomorrow. If it goes to a trial, I don’t think a jury would be satisfied with that bogus, ‘catch all’ consent form.

To win a case against them your attorney will have to prove one of three basic things.

1. Did the service provided to you lack that of someone with the same training and experience.

2. Did the person performing the proceedure perform something that they were not liscensed or certified to do.

3. Did the person performing the proceedure cause intentional pain.

I would say that you have a good case for the simple reason that depending on what state you were in a medical doctor or at least it should have been done by someone with the title DOCTOR. Otherwise I would strogly say that the person who performed this proceedure on you was working outside of their scope of practice. If that is the case…you have a suit against the organization and the person who performed the proceedure civially.

You might have signed a consent form, but you signed it under the implied consent that the person performing the proceedure had the legal right to do so and it doesn’t sound to me as that the person did.

Also, your attorney could ask for a copy of your medical record. In that copy more than just the signed consent must be present, meaning whatever supposed information containing the risk they made you aware of should be printed somewhere and it should be dated. If it is not then your attorney can simply say that you were made aware of no side affects as none were stated. I would also ask to see the creditionals of the person who performed the proceedure and check to see if other complaints had been filed against this person with the state liscensing board. I would make sure that I filed such a complaint.

Civil trails are a gambel and are up to a jury, but I think you have a good case. Women who are victimized as you were aren’t thinking clearly many times when they sign consent forms to begin with and often just want the whole incident and every sign from it gone quickly. You could even say that you were still tramatized and naive and therefore not of true sound mind when you signed it. Planned Parenthood should know this and take propper percautions to get you the support you need and make sure that you understood everything about what was happening with you. Good luck

People with genital warts: How many breakouts did you have?

Did the warts come back after you conquered your last break out?

I have HPV and I had a TCA peel. Most the warts are completely gone. I just have one left. I am hoping and preying I wont get anymore.

Will you please tell me your experiences and give me advice on what to expect?

When genital wart symptoms do appear, the wart itself is usually invisible or sometimes it stays underneath the outermost skin layer and does not break through. If they do break through they can be in a variety of different shapes and sizes. They can be large or they can be too small to be seen by the naked eye. They can be individual or they can come in clusters or groups.

Genital wart symptoms can differ from person to person in every way. In some people they can appear as small, cauliflower-like clusters or like flat, white areas that resemble dry, flaky skin more than the emergence of a wart. Furthermore, the breakout can be internal and may be occurring in the urethra, the rectum or the cervix. In these cases, the sufferer will notice some irregularity during defecation, urination, or sex that leads to a thorough examination by a qualified physician that will lead to the proper diagnosis and hopefully, a successful treatment.

TCA skin peel?

I applied the tca peel on my arms about 5 days ago, its started started peeling, less then half of my skin is already peeled. My skin is horrible, its all pink. I have a photoshoot on the 25th (today is the 18th) and the clothes I'm going to wear are tube tops, tank tops, dresses, etc.. etc… Will my skin be healed and ready to go by the 25th? If not… What should I do?

I keep trying to email the people in charge of the website, but they never reply back.
What should I do to make the redness go away?

With TCA peels, the heeling usually takes 7-10 days, because it's a higher level peel.

Are stretch marks considered fibrotic scars?I am wondering if stretch marks diminish in response to a TCA peel

Stretch marks are very deep tears in the dermis. A TCA peel could not eradicate them. Something that might help is a non ablative laser to remove redness and stimulate collagen.

Another option is to apply collagen stimulating creams such as tretinoin and copper peptides. These creams work over time, so yo have to be patient.

Has anyone successfully removed a tattoo with a TCA peel?

Please, no comments or opinions on what you think about the procedure. Only answers by people who have used TCA to remove or lighten a tattoo or permanent makeup. Thank you.

I just read up on it and it seems like a scam. Do a search for it. The positive testimonies are on websites that are selling it and they seem 'authored'.

Is it necessary to get a 70% glycolic peel before a tca (medium) peel?

I was wondering if anyone who has had the tca peel was told by the dermatologist that a 70% glycolic peel is required before the tca peel (as opposed to what I've read about using at-home skin prep glycolic products). Thank you for any info!
Any information or input would be greatly appreciated! I have skin discoloration and would like to have a more even, youthful skin tone. Thank you so much.

An alternative method you can consider besides doing the peeling way. Do use a mild washing foam and do a daily mask mix it well with white essence to get the whitening effect. Do it daily or on alternate days. The mask is of mild texture and thus no harm to do it daily.

Besides that you can consume dunaliella soft capsules which helps to improve your skin texture. Check out this exclusive products. I have personally use this product for the past 10 years and it has not fail me.

My skin turned gray after having TCA peel. Is it natural? What must I apply (such as creams) after treatment?

What should I do after the treatment? What creams woulf you recommend?

Once the TCA skin peel treatment is completed, you can expect to shed the dead, outer layer of skin for approximately three days. Your skin may peel more than once. Following this, you can expect your skin to be completely healed within ten to fourteen days. At that time you will notice improvement in the appearance of your skin, which will have less wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation problems. You will also notice a healthy glow as your face appears radiant and shining.

TCA is a deeper peel than most of the superficial peels that just cause the skin to lightly flake. Because it is a deeper treatment, your "downtime" will be approximately 7-10 days. During this time of peeling and healing, you will be required to keep your facial skin moist with an antibacterial ointment. After you are healed, sunscreen use is very important since you are initially much more sensitive to harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

I suggest Neosporin and Double or Triple antibiotic ointment rather than a cream.
