Cebu Anal Surgery Scandal

A Cebuano male florist in his 30s was teary-eyed when he saw the video of his surgery for the first time.

The emergency operation last January was already traumatic.

Having a spray can removed from his rectum after a night of sex with a stranger was something he regretted.

Danilo (not his real name) was horrified to see images of the surgery three months later circulating on the popular video-sharing website YouTube.

Danilo said he felt violated and would file charges against medical personnel at the government-owned Vicente Sotto Medical Memorial Center (VSMMC).

He said his rights to privacy and confidentiality were violated. He was also offended when he saw in the video how medical interns and workers jeered and laughed when the metal can of Black Suede body spray was pulled out of his rectum.

The can was inserted by a man he had casual sex with last New Year’s Eve. Danilo said he was asleep when it happened.

It’s really funny what happened to that gay man. Gross, funny and foolish at the same time.

However, the doctors shouldn’t treated him that way. It’s normal to laugh about a thing like that (since it’s really funny). But videotaping while doing the ANAL surgery and later on posting it on the net is just wrong. Their licenses should be stripped off after this incident.
