Compensation for Sufferer Following Unpleasant Papada-Linked Injuries and Discomfort Post-Treatment
Uncensored, No-Holds-Barred Version:
Rio Branco (AC) - The Acre Court has handed down a ruling in favor of a patient who suffered a botched aesthetic treatment at a local clinic. The court ordered the clinic to cough up R$ 2,000 for the aggravated embarrassment and disappointment caused by the ineffective procedure.
What went down at the Aesthetic Abomination Clinic
The case in question, numbered 0719108-30.2024.8.001, involved a patient seeking treatments to tackle stubborn neck fat. However, the expected results were as elusive as a unicorn's farts. To add insult to injury, the patient ended up with ugly wounds and light scars in the treatment area.
The business played the blame game
In their defense, the sleazy clinic claimed that the procedure was executed flawlessly, and any negative outcomes were the patient's own damn fault for disregarding post-treatment instructions. But the judge wasn't buying their lame excuse.
Evidence exposed the clinic's dirty little secrets
During the trial, photos and audio recordings submitted by both parties were examined. The pics revealed no significant improvement or any permanent aesthetic damage, but the audio recordings painted a less-than-flattering picture of the clinic's team. The patient's concerns and insecurities were met with generic, half-assed responses.
Right to information be damned
According to Judge Hellen Oliveira, the clinic violated the Consumer Protection Code by failing to provide the necessary information. "Even though no major deformity occurred, the disappointment of the customer's legitimate expectations and the poor communication warrant the awarding of moral damages," the magistrate stated.
The consent form is a downright joke
Another sticking point in the ruling was the patient's signature on the Consent Form. The judge made it clear that the document offers no protection for the provider from responsibility. Instructions must be comprehensive, crystal-clear, and tailored to the individual.
The ruling is official, but the drama ain't over
The court's decision was published in the 7,785 edition of the Electronic Journal of the TJAC, on page 136. But if the cheap, negligent bastards at the clinic can't take the hit, they can always appeal the decision.
