Listen Later

"I go to swallow, and nothing triggers. Alarm bells are ringing in my head because, as a speech therapist, it's the scariest feeling."

What started as a routine cosmetic procedure turned into a medical nightmare for SLP Megan McCue. After just 12 units of Botox, she experienced severe swallowing difficulties, systemic complications, and a battle to be believed by medical professionals. Her story exposes the darker side of a treatment millions undergo without question.

In this eye-opening episode, learn about:

The hidden risks of botulinum toxin treatments

How Botox can affect swallowing function
Critical warning signs every medical professional should know
The importance of including Botox history in patient screenings
Latest research on systemic spread and nervous system impact

As both a patient and healthcare provider, Megan offers unique insights into this under-discussed issue, challenging common assumptions about a widely-used treatment. Whether you're a medical professional or considering Botox treatment, this episode provides crucial information about potential risks and the importance of informed consent.
