Topless protest alleges malpractice over breast-cancer surgery: 'Paternalism at its finest'
Kim Bowles, top left, led a handful of in-person supporters and great many online for a protest of the Cleveland Clinic, where, she alleges, a surgeon was unethical. It was a topless protest like no other: A determined woman marching through Cleveland, Ohio, not only without a shirt, but without breasts. Kim Bowles, a Pittsburgh scientist and mother of two, had undergone a double mastectomy following stage-3 cancer treatment in 2017, and had chosen to “go flat” — opting out of the complex breast reconstruction surgery that follows the majority of mastectomies. But instead, she says, her Cleveland Clinic surgeon blatantly ignored her wishes, leaving extra flaps and pouches of skin on her chest in case she were to “change her mind” in the future.
