On November 29, 2023, Frank had what Dr. Taban described as a low-risk cosmetic procedure. It left him near-blind and disfigured, and Dr. Taban refused to acknowledge the complications. Eight corrective procedures later, the damage still is not fixed.
Between the medical bills and the collapse of his video work — his livelihood depends on his eyes — Frank is over $400,000 in debt. Every donation goes toward the remaining surgeries.
