THE BAG IS GONE. EVERYTHING IS DOCUMENTED. EVERYONE WILL KNOW.

Nipped,
Tucked &
Screwed™

The documented story of surgical harm, fabricated evidence, arbitration corruption, criminal intimidation, a data breach, and every institution that looked the other way.

This is not a lawsuit. This is not an allegation. Every word on this page is documented in court records, arbitration transcripts, JAMS disclosures, hacker email chains, police reports, and FBI and DOJ complaints. Every name. Every date. Every number. On the record.

THE RECORD · SWORN TESTIMONY

“I did not want it to be smaller.”

“I unequivocally told Dr. Motykie, before this surgery, that ‘I don’t want any changes to my nose.’“

THE FOUNDING STORY OF NTS

A doctor removed parts of her anatomy without consent and performed a botched nasal surgery.
Then he spent years making sure no one would ever know.

She had a CT scan from Cedar Sinai Tower ENT in 2020 that proved her turbinates were gone. Dr Marc Kayam of BH testified that “the surgery as described in Motykie’s operative report is not the surgery he performed on Shaffy. She had surgical nursing records. She had two board-certified expert witnesses. She had a treating physician. She had a whistleblower. She had a motion for summary judgment that the arbitrator herself denied — confirming the case had merit.

None of it mattered. Because the arbitrator had undisclosed financial ties to the defense. Because a convicted criminal stalker was feeding her private arbitration details in real time and the emails prove it.

Gary Motykie allegedly had his computer breached, leaked along with 2.5M extortion demand. But her medical records were hacked, performing published, and then erased by someone using a fake email in her name. Because NBC4 was about to break the story — until someone in New York made a call.

And because every institution she turned to — the medical board, the FBI, the DOJ, the California Supreme Court — closed the file.

NTS was built so the world would know what happened. And so it never happens to anyone else.

Post operative CT imaging performed by treating physician Dr. Nicholas Schenck confirmed near-complete bilateral resection — approximately 90% of the right inferior turbinate and 100% of the left. This is an irreversible, catastrophic surgical intervention. It causes Empty Nose Syndrome — a permanently debilitating condition with no cure, characterized by paradoxical nasal obstruction, inability to sense airflow, chronic dryness, and severe neurological consequences. The patient cannot breathe normally. Cannot sleep normally. Cannot function normally. For the rest of her life.

Two dual board-certified ENT and facial plastic surgery experts testified at arbitration that turbinectomy is appropriate only in rare cases involving malignancy or nonviable tissue. Neither condition applied to the patient. The procedure — as performed — was a gross deviation from the accepted standard of medical care.

She won the motion. Arbitrator Cooper confirmed on the record that the case had merit.

On June 2, 2022 — in her own written ruling — Justice Candace Cooper denied Dr. Motykie’s motion for summary judgment. She found that “triable issues of material fact remain concerning the scope of consent, the nature of the surgical procedure performed, and the existence of injury.” In plain terms: the arbitrator herself acknowledged that the patient’s claims were real, credible, and required a full evidentiary hearing to resolve on the merits.

Then — at the hearing — Retired Court of Appeal justice Arbitrator Candace Cooper excluded every piece of evidence needed to resolve those exact facts. The CT scan proving the resection in 2020. The circulating Nurse documented the procedure performed “septoplasty/ Turbinectomy”. Arbitrator Cooper dismissed the PACU record that contained vitals and detailed information of the surgery. She disregarded three separate progress notes that indicated “possible turbinectomy” She dismissed a contemporaneous medical record from the surgery center as speculative to assume. Motykie said his nurses typically template the records. Which is fraud in itself, is it not?

2019 — SURGERY WITHOUT CONSENT

Dr. Gary Motykie performs a turbinectomy on the patient. She consented to no such procedure. He claims that he never performs them. Despite this being contradictory to his own surgical nursing record, prepared by circulating nurse A. Galbese and authenticated as part of the official medical record, documents: septoplasty/turbinectomy. His own initial operative note uses the word turbinectomy. She wakes up permanently disabled.

JANUARY 15, 2021 — THE FALSE CERTIFICATION

JUNE 2, 2022 — MSJ VICTORY ACKNOWLEDGED

Cooper denies Motykie’s motion for summary judgment. The case has merit. A full hearing is required. Four months later, at that hearing, she excludes every piece of evidence that would resolve the very facts she acknowledged were triable.

Retired Justice Candace Cooper signs her JAMS Disclosure Checklist. She certifies that nothing would “prohibit the arbitrator from impartially serving in this case.” She fails to disclose her substantial work relationship and claims one closed court case: her relationships with defense firm Carroll, Kelly, Trotter LLP— which goes back almost three decades and with thousands of cases but denies any of them with arbitrator John C. Kelly who sits on the same arbitration panel as the defense-appointed arbitrator. She certifies this under penalty of perjury.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 — THREATENING EMAILS ARRIVE

Three threatening emails arrive at the patient’s personal address — minutes after she speaks with her attorney Chris Rudd. Subject: “Karma 2.0.” The emails state she “was forewarned but refused to drop the lawsuit and now will be experiencing pain with more to come.” The emails contain details from Cooper’s preliminary ruling — information available only to parties in the private arbitration. Only Dr. Motykie and attorney Greg Werrepossessed this information.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 — FORMALLY SUBMITTED TO JAMS

Attorney Christopher Rudd formally notifies the arbitration panel of the threatening emails and their alleged connection to Motykie and Werre. The submission states: “How would my criminal stalker know any medical information about me? How could he know details of a private arbitration almost in real time? If Mr. Werre did not communicate those to him almost in real time?”JAMS acknowledges receipt. Nothing happens.

OCTOBER 14–17, 2022 — CONFLICT HISTORY DEMANDED

Four months after the hearing concludes, attorney Rudd demands JAMS provide Cooper’s full conflict history — information that should have been disclosed before the first day of arbitration. He demands it by close of business. The action that sparked a war. More to come
