My interest is strictly prurient. I actually don't want her to get famous like she says she wants.

I have been struggling to digest that since reading it in a newspaper. I nearly handed myself in to an optometrist with the words "HELP! There's something wrong with my eyes..." {@},{@}

Whether it's true or not I had tears of laughter running down my face when I read about it :)

Now what was that sci-fi movie or series that had the 3 breasted woman in it?

[edit] it just came to me, Total Recall. ;-)

Besides Star Trek V, there was another movie (and its remake) mentioned in another article. Not one I ever saw. Lethal Weapon, maybe?

Okay, you got it yourself.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was 1 of those shows that I could never get into, though my missus loved it, so I wouldn't have made that connection Bernie.

Real or not, I agree with the physician interviewed in that clip. Anyone who would go to such extremes for attention may have some serious undiagnosed psychiatric issues. Frankly I find it difficult to believe that this young woman actually found a plastic surgeon willing to perform this operation, and if she did, that physician's license should come up for some serious review!!!

As a person who has worked for 25 years in a hospital setting I understand that patient confidentiality is highly protected... but I also know that people slip up. Can you imagine how many hospital registration people, orderlies, surgical nurses, surgical techs, recovery room nurses, housekeeping staff members etc would have been involved in this young woman's care? This is such an atypical surgery that surely at least one hospital employee would have "slipped" and told a spouse or trusted friend something general like "a woman had a third boob put in at our hospital today". That spouse or friend would have told two people, who would have told two people, who would have told two people. With this kind of gossip-mill, eventually the hospital where the surgery was performed would be known and the surgeon would at be guessed. Since everything is dipped in mystery and shrouded in intrigue around this surgery, my guess is that we are looking at a clever, elaborate internet hoax.

I really hope this is an internet hoax.
How ridiculous this is. If its true than its tragic.
And as you say the cost of the medical care is immense!

Now I have a sci-fi book in my collection somewhere that has those in it, but ATM I couldn't be bothered going in to look for it.

Having a BA, in biology, I know that there are instances of multiple-breasted
individuals. However, it's always been an even number, and the excess, over
two, are removed.

I'm amazed that anyone would want more than two.

I know that my missus always complained about the backache that her 2 always gave her. :-O

I suspect getting that type of surgery in the United States would be very hard, other countries don't ask as many questions and it could be done out of the country. On the other hand, it appears to be nothing but a hoax.

She should have had the extra breast installed on her back.
Yeah, it would look funny but she'd be fun to dance with.

Oh, robots.

Place the heads on their shoulders the opposite way, they are supposed to be complaining.

You know, C3PO, from the Star Wars movies.

Except for that, having eyes in your neck gives you a possible escape from the FBI, or maybe someonne else for that matter.
