This may be a wake up call! How do we know how many more of this type of fakes are treating people? This may be a call to the relevant authorities to inspect the quality of others so called doctors.

May be the cosmetic doctor had realized that beauty lies in death.

Sad as it may be the victim being a doctor herself should have known better than to go to a quack. This should also alert the authorities to have a proper list of such establishments and physically check the places without going only by documents produced which are not authentic. Over to you Health Ministry start a watch dog campaign consisting of a few good men and women not again somebodys somebody.
