This is a painful, depressing episode to watch. Yesim Cetir has been butchered.

The scene where Nate flipping through Yesim’s sketchbook is well done. Seeing the difference between each pages, it’s heartbreaking. 💔

Damn you, Paolo and your empty promises! 🤬

Watching her health degrade was is just heartbreaking.

I imagine the difficulty of her father watching his daughter essentially change into a person different from how she went in as a result of her deteriorating health. 😢

She went in only for consultation then it turned into something more complicated. Surprisingly, she blamed Nate and not Paolo. 😣

Paolo butchers Yesim and then vanishes...leaving Nate to deal with the carnage.  

That is of course by Paolo's design.  All the glory, none of the consequences or responsibility.

I do not know the inner workings of the medical field, but 167 surgeries seem like a bit much.

Does this fit into the opening disclaimer that certain parts have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes?

I read about Yesim Cetir after finishing the series. Her ordeal, as shown in this show, seems to have been real, down the number of surgeries.

That is probably the most heartbreaking story I've ever read. Paolo butchered that young woman, and she really suffered for it.

Yesim actually had 191 surgeries not 167 (hence the title of the episode). What an absolutely heartbreaking episode. The hospital administrator who covered for this hack should be in prison.

191 surgeries is accurate. However, how they defined “surgeries” matters. Some relatively minor procedures are legally defined as “surgery.” (Which is not to diminish Yasmin’s ordeal, which was horrific. And, given the trauma she had to endure, even those relatively minor surgeries —if there were any — probably took an incredible toll on her already battered body.)
