Plot[]
Debbie, an ex-beauty queen, was despairing to get rid of her wrinkles, so she hired a doctor (a phony one) to inject her with Botox.
However, what Debbie didn't know is that she just signed her death certificate because the pretend doctor gave Debbie a batch of tainted Botox.
Rather than calling 911 to find a real doctor, Debbie got into her one-piece bathing suit. thinking that a dip in the hot tub could calm her down.
However, the botulism poison causes her body to become paralyzed. She slumped under the water's surface and drowned, thus sending her to heaven.
"The fake physician made a good living off insecure 40-somethings, dispensing black market Botox injections. It wasn't brain surgery, and they always paid cash. Debbie didn't know it, but she just signed her death certificate."
Transcript[]
Debbie: I'm... little nervous in the head plasma-
Narrator: Remember when doctors made house calls? Neither did we.
Debbie: (Chuckling) I've never done this before.
Botox Doctor: Show me.
Debbie: Okay...
Narrator: The only reason Debbie got this guy to drop by was 1: he's not really a doctor, and 2: she was desperate.
Debbie: It's a... a big needle.
Botox Doctor: Hang on...
Narrator: Her problem: wrinkles.
Botox Doctor: Perfect.
Narrator: Dr. Quag here had a cure:
(Medical Attention is playing)
Narrator: Botox.
Dr. Vyshali Rao: Botox is actually botulinum toxin. It causes paralysis. What they do is they inject this toxin... into certain areas of your face or wherever you wanted to be to get rid of wrinkles. And the way that it does that is it paralyzes that muscle, that muscle can no longer contract, now the wrinkle is gone.
(The phony doctor injects Botox in Debbie's head)
Botox Doctor: Still...
Narrator: The fake physician made a good living off insecure 40-somethings, dispensing black market Botox injections.
Botox Doctor: Don't move.
Narrator: It wasn't brain surgery, and they always paid cash. Debbie didn't know it, but she just signed her Death Certificate.
Botox Doctor: Okay.
Debbie: That's alright. Thank you.
(Replay of the phony doctor injects Botox on Debbie's head)
Narrator: The pretend doctor got in his hand on a really bad badge of Botox. He just pumped pure botulism poison, right into her head.
(Debbie feels the fever in her head)
Debbie: Aah... This does not feel right...
Narrator: The paying of numbness started spreading from her head throughout her body.
(Then Debbie takes a hot tub to calm the situation)
Narrator: Debbie thought a dip in the hot tub might calm her down.
Dr. Vyshali Rao: If you do not go to someone that knows what they're doing, and this toxin gets somewhere it should not get to: the nerve for an example. Your face becomes paralyzed and you look like you have a stroke.
(As that, Debbie's face is paralyzed, tries to scream for help)
Dr. Vyshali Rao: It gets into your arteries, into your veins, that toxin is now circulating in your body, and getting into your lungs, into your heart, 'cause it can cause paralysis there, so essentially you stop breathing, your heart stops beating, you're ending up dead from Botox.
Narrator: Debbie was helpless. Her body was completely paralyzed by the spreading toxin.
(Debbie begins to sink, not only she'll die by Botox but drowning as well)
Narrator: In a frozen panic, she slept under the water surface, and drowned. At her funeral, her friends all said... "She never looked better."
