Weight Loss Ear Staple – Mississippi Medical Board shuts down Businesses offering Ear Stapling for Losing Weight
The state medical board of Mississippi ordered 14 weight loss businesses that do ear stapling because they say they are doing so illegally.
According to a news report by ABC news, Mal Morgan who is the executive director of the Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure had received several complaints of people that had the ear stapling performed causing serious ear infections. Doctor’s in the state had more people coming in to get the staple removed and to treat the infection.
The ear stapling business advertised this as a weight loss procedure which is why they closed down the businesses as they are practicing medicine without a license.
