Couldn't fit it in the thread title - Sompob Sansiri, the 51-year-old doctor who performed the surgery, has been arrested and reportedly did not have the proper certification.

It was some sort of cosmetic surgery on her tailbone.


A 24-year-old British woman has died in Thailand during cosmetic surgery performed by a doctor who was allegedly not properly qualified.
Police said the woman - named locally as Joy Williams - stopped breathing while under anaesthetic at a clinic in Bangkok on Thursday.
Miss Williams, from Thamesmead, London, reportedly attended the clinic for surgery on October 14 but was not satisfied with the results and returned for a corrective procedure.
She was said to have attended the clinic for a procedure related to her tailbone and was found with a three inch incision in her lower back.
Sompob Sansiri, the 51-year-old doctor who performed the surgery, has been arrested and reportedly did not have the proper certification.

That would be coccyx

to be honest... i believe they always publish "doctor was not certified" ... "was no doctor"...

just to keep ppls believe up, that doctors in thailand are qualified...

to not "taint" anything... you know...

the guy was probably totally qualified and certified... but wait.. more to come on this case...

in most cases though, any medical mistakes are blamed onto the victim.
(underlying disease, allergy, old, drugs, drunk...)

The clinic wasn't certified to operate at night, so maybe it was the same with him.

Fumy hw the online version is not the same as what was in the paper

"Dr Somppob , a GP , was not quaillified to perform surgery"

"She returned to the clinic on Thursday suffering from bleeding from the area and requested Dr Sompob REMOVE THE BUTTOCK IMPLANTS "

"....after examinations the women was killed by ingesting sleeping medications BEFORE receiving anesthetic"

"....the women died of respiratory and circulatory failure"

I think they have just edited it, as it says tailbone in the link.
I hope that wasn't a pic of where she got operated on. Doesn't look sterile.

She died while still receiving an intravenous anaesthetic after the operation.

perhaps another mix-up with pesticides...
