West Palm Beach, Fl.- Deputies are looking for more patients of 44-year-old Calvin 'Tamieka' Butler who they say charged people $200 for butt injections he performed out of his motel room.
Officers say Butler used no gloves and wore plain clothes while performing the injections. One patient was taken to the hospital after she had open sores and oozing out of the injection sites. When she complained to Butler he told her to massage the areas and take a warm shower.
When that didn't work and she began to have swollen lymph nodes and a fever, she went to the emergency room where she was admitted and treated for Lymphadenitis which is swelling of the lymph nodes caused by a bacterial infection. She spent six days in the hospital.
A second patient has also been treated at an emergency room for open soars on his buttocks from the injections. Detectives say that patient is confined to his hospital bed because any movement will cause much pain and bleeding.
According to a police report, the silicone used by Butler came from a Pedialyte bottle. He used Krazy Glue to seal the wounds. He told one patient on one occasion he got the silicone from a nurse at Florida Medical Center in Ft. Lauderdale, and on another occasion he got it from a woman named Debra in Miami.
Butler, who lived at the El Patio Motel on Broadway in West Palm Beach, is now charged with two counts of unlawful practice of health care profession causing great bodily harm.
