A Kent woman has undergone some of the most intensive and invasive plastic surgery ever performed on a human being.
Casey Jones has endured 23 operations in four years to redefine her appearance in its entirety.
"Ms. Jones suffers from a condition known as 'reptilica estradus magnaminous'," said doctor Thomas Elgin, a plastic surgeon of wide repute. "Casey's condition was as severe as any we've seen. Her skin was completely covered in reptilian scales. She had a tail. And you can see for yourself how hideous was her snout. I'll tell you frankly, I was afraid of her. And several of my OR assistants refused to come in the room until Ms. Jones was very securely restrained on the operating table. Oh, sure, there were a lot of jokes, like 'This ain't no veterinary hospital'; you know, crude things like that. But I believe in treating anyone (and anything) that needs my help. I took an oath, after all."
Ms. Jones had been prevented from attending public school because she frightened the other children. And sometimes she bit them. She couldn't talk because her throat was anatomically that of a crocodile. And she never seemed completely comfortable unless she was in the water, the more brackish the better.
"Casey has a whole new life ahead of her," said her doctor. "Yes, we do have some concerns about, well, about the possibilities of producing offspring. We're looking into that. But even if she produced a litter of chomping little crocs, imagine the research opportunities!" the doctor chuckled.
Ms. Jones's medical expenses, which totaled over 3.4 million dollars, have been waived by the hospital on the condition that she allow medical science to study her for the rest of her life.
Casey says she's happy to come forward and tell her story, if it will help others.
"We need to know where creatures like this come from," said a hospital spokesman. "She's a marvelous specimen, and she can teach us a lot. We can't wait to get our hands on her."
