Lee isn't exactly camera shy. Besides her TLC special, she has appeared on a wide range of shows, from the Today show to the Rachel Ray Show and Tosh.0. And that's why it's surprising to hear that Lee — who often steps in front of the cameras in her videos to discuss procedures and whatever else is going on in her life — isn't entirely comfortable with her fame.
She told Broadly that she gets recognized so often in public that she wears a hat to the grocery store. "I joked this is worst kind of fame you can have — it's a lot of fame, but not much fortune," she said. "I think it's better to have it the other way around, a lot of fortune and no fame, right?"
Her popularity spans the globe, with people traveling from as far as the UK and Saudi Arabia for treatment. But Lee isn't entirely comfortable with these types of patients. "It puts a lot of pressure on me," she told Broadly. "I don't like it when people travel across the world and get a hotel room to come see me because they think I can help them more than other doctors. I don't proclaim I can do that, though it is quite amazing." Sounds like a good problem to have.
