This is crazy...

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/01/9141586-woman-denies-injecting-patients-buttocks-with-fix-a-flat
A Miami Gardens transgender woman is facing charges of practicing medicine without a license after police say she injected a patient's rear with a combination of Fix-A-Flat, cement, mineral oil and superglue in an illegal cosmetic surgery procedure.

I'm shaking my head at this news story... It seems crazy to me that anyone go to an unlicensed person

That is insane!! I agree-if someone is putting something into my body I want to know what it is and "a secret formula" would not suffice as an answer. I always wonder at the person who does these things b/c I can't imagine ever doing something that horrible to another human being. I couldn't live with myself. I guess everyone has a differnt moral compass huh?

Oh gosh... the victim sure paid a heavy price for her lapse of judgment. I can only hope others take heed and don't fall vicitm to some fast talking line of bull!
