Woman Dead After Surgery At Framingham Home

A man from Brazil has been charged with practicing medicine without a license after a woman died during a liposuction procedure at a home in Framingham.

49-year-old Luiz Carlos Ribeiro and his wife will be arraigned Monday in Framingham District Court. Both were arrested early Monday morning, a day after the 23-year-old patient died.

According to a report in the Boston Globe, Ribeiro allegedly started the procedure in the basement of his home in the Bishop Gardens condominiums. A witness told the paper the woman coughed during the procedure and passed out. Ribeiro reportedly brought the woman to the MetroWest Medical Center Sunday evening, where she died.

Fat chance of sympathy from me. Tube ad the woman didn't see a legitimate surgeon, these back alley guys will cellulite versions of the real deal. Figures.

Why would a basement need liposuction? Can a hole ever be overweight?

Why couldn't this woman have crossed the border to Tijuana for her basement liposuction by an unlicensed practitioneer? So sad.

Or crossed over here into Canada where sex change operations are practiced in hotel rooms...

There was Darwin Awards story about a guy who convinced his friend to perform liposuction on him in his garage with a Shop-Vac.

Fortunately, no one but the guy himself was injured.
