A couple who authorities say performed liposuction in the basement of a home has been charged with practicing medicine without a license after the female patient died.
Luiz Carlos Ribeiro, 49, a native of Brazil, and his wife, Ana Maria Miranda Ribeiro, also 49, were arraigned in district court on Monday following the death of a 24-year-old woman Sunday.
The district attorney’s office said authorities believe that Ribeiro and his wife administered illegally obtained drugs and performed the surgical procedure on the woman. Neither Ribeiro nor his wife are licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts.
Eeeeoouuuw!
Brazilians are NOT hispanics…
21, is that a good or bad thing?
Not good but, not THAT bad…
Just like calling Canadians Americans. (not quite, Hispanics are descendants of Spanish people. Brazillians are of Portuguese descent, while Canadians and Americans are from English provenience, as of colonizing powers of long ago.)
Just my two bit of social geogaphy. Not to be considered as of thread relevance…
Ok Joao(sorry, can’t do the squiggly thing), 1 stupid PORTUGESE bunch and several Hispanics.
Hans and Frans wanted for questioning.

It’s a tilde and what it does is to put a nasal accent on a pair of vowels spelled together. And you’re welcome.
Here are possible side effects of a typical liposuction treatment according to Wikipedia A side effect, as opposed to a complication, is medically minor, although it can be uncomfortable, annoying, and even painful. Bruising: can be painful in the short term, and should fade after a few weeks. Swelling: should subside gradually over a month or two. Scars: will vary in size depending on the particular procedure, and should fade over the weeks. Scarring is an individual thing, partly dependent on heredity. For some, scar healing may take as long as a year. Pain: should be temporary and controlled by either over-the-counter medication, or by a prescription. Numbness: sometimes persists for a few weeks. Limited mobility: will depend on the exact procedure. There could be various factors limiting movement for a short while, such as: Wearing a compression garment Keeping the head elevated Temporary swelling or pain The surgeon should advise on how soon the patient can resume normal activity.
