I rise today in support of the whole Doctors Accountable Act, which would crack down on unlicensed plastic surgeons in America. These medical charlatans prey upon hard working Americans. Millions of regular, everyday folk, who just need a tweak here or there to finally look beautiful. HR7652 provides special funding for law enforcement agencies to track down these surgeons who often go by aliases to avoid detection, like Dr. Teddy Rolex, who until recently practiced his brand of medicine in a rundown strip mall in Rockwell, Maryland. We may never know how many Americans he tricked with his smooth talk, and his diploma from the Bermuda College of Excellent Medicine. We can no longer ignore the epidemic of botched plastic surgery in this country. Future generations are counting on us, because when the bandages come off and they're so disfigured that their own grandchildren don't recognize them, and the Capital Hill security guard whose known them for 2 asks for their I.D., that's when they'll realize their lives will never be the same. Who else can these people turn to when they go to their doctor's office to confront him and find it abandoned, and realize they have no recourse and collapse on the floor to cry, pretend, because that clumsy butcher Dr. Rolex, cauterized their tear ducts. That's why passing HR7652 is so vital to our national health, and self esteem. I yield the remainder of my time, as it is very hot under these lights, and my sweat glands no longer work.
