Michael's Story

Michael joins us for episode 32 of the Botox Injury Stories podcast. He received Botox injections from his dentist for TMJ pain, and within an hour of the injections, his body began to shut down. He lost consciousness, his muscles became weak, and he was rushed to the emergency room.Once there, he could barely stay awake for ten minutes at a time. Nurses and doctors began doing sternal rubs that he wasn’t responding to, and doctors ran basically every test, and even drug tested him multiple times - they would not listen about the Botox.Fortunately, Michael’s wife, who was a nurse was able to advocate for him and help him back to health. Michael miraculously recovered within just a few weeks, and his story leaves behind huge questions.Why are emergency rooms not prepared for Botox complications? Why was no one taking him seriously about the injections? And what actually happened to Michael’s body? Was it a rare case of immediate botulism, or an extreme, systemic shock?
