Wrong Patient, Wrong Surgery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A woman waiting for a routine procedure asks staff if they have the right person. The reply: “You’ll do.” Minutes later, surgeons remove part of her external genitalia instead of the small skin tag she came in for — and she never even meets the surgeon beforehand. Dr. Christopher Chang and Jackie break down the surgical timeout most people never think about — the ID checks, armband scans, and consent verification every OR runs before the first incision — using the news out of Melbourne’s Sunshin
He Read It on Reddit So It Must Be True (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One Reddit comment was all it took — now her husband keeps a bag of ice within reach around the clock, and after a year of trying, she still isn't pregnant. Dr. Chang has news for the biohackers: the scrotum already auto-regulates its own temperature, and no protocol from a stranger's post knows your body better than it does.

She Tried to Check Herself In. They Said No. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twelve psychiatric medications from a rotating cast of prescribers who never compared notes, and a detailed journal begging someone to read it.

Read excerpt
Jackie brings five reference photos to a cosmetic consult and the surgeon points out that all five women have the exact same nose. She hadn't noticed — now she can't unsee it. That's the quiet trap behind "slop face," the name the trade press finally pinned on the eerie sameness creeping across Hollywood. Dr. Christopher Chang and Jackie use the Hollywood Reporter's 2026 aesthetics issue — and its report that casting directors keep complaining performers all look alike — to get at why beauty is
Did She or Didn’t She? Adele’s New Face (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adele goes to a car race with her son, and by dinner strangers who have never met her are confidently explaining what she "had done." The real answer has almost nothing to do with a scalpel — it's a documented 100-pound weight loss, and the face gives up fat the same way the rest of the body does.Dr. Chang hands the mic to plastic surgeon Dr. Hillary Jenny, PA, Monica Thompson, who runs the practice's GLP-1 program, and master esthetician Carey McLaughlin for a girl-chat takeover on what fast we
