I found the video on youtube because of ceblogger’s term “Black Suede” which is actually the brand of the perfume canister. I didn’t know about this until ceblogger’s comment. I looked for the keywords “Black Suede Scandal” on google and true enough, the first result was a youtube video. At first I thought it was a news video reporting on the progress of the infamous event, but I was shocked to discover that this was actual footage of the operation, up close, to what I estimate was no more than 3 feet away from the table.

But what shocked me was not the operation itself, but of the comments of the medical practitioners present, of their snide remarks and sniggers and actual laughter. You’d think they were watching the finale of a magic show instead of performing an emergency procedure.

Absolutely shameful.

1) Obviously, Danny(or Jan-jan for sunstar) is abused by a partner. It’s a risk for those who just pick up anyone for temporary carnal pleasure.

2) I heard someone comment that Danny was lucky to be given medical attention at this hospital. Many died in VSMMC while waiting for their OR schedule. One really has to quarrel hospital staff to be given immediate treatment.

3) The medical team is obviously at fault for letting someone video the operation without the patient’s consent. And that same video captured their shameless descent from their lofty profession.

4) The one who uploaded the video or spread the video is also liable. If he/she is a minor, he/she deserves more than just spanking.

5) Like the politicians, Msgr Dakay also expressed his take on the matter. It just happens that his moral view is unpopular to those outside his flock.

Moralizing people such as him can do us all a favor by keeping their mouth shut even for just once. Regardless of his sexual orientation and sexual practices, “Danny” remains the unfortunate victim here and deserves our sympathy.
