NEWARK -- Six women from the Essex County area who wanted fuller bottoms ended up in hospitals after receiving buttocks-enhancement injections containing the same material contractors use to caulk bathtubs, officials said.

The women checked into hospitals in the county after their procedures, apparently administered by unlicensed providers, went horribly wrong, state health officials said. The women underwent surgery and were given antibiotics. No arrests have been made.

Different from medical-grade silicone, the substance used in the botched procedures was believed to be a diluted version of nonmedical-grade silicone.

"The same stuff you use to put caulk around the bathtub," said Steven M. Marcus, executive and medical director of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System ...

When I was living in CA, there were unlicensed "physicians" dispensing drugs, performing surgeries, etc., and people were dropping like flies.

Three guesses as to which "community" they were most prevalent.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

yeah...not unheard of.  When I worked in Manhattan, there were quite a few cuban doctors and dentists, unlicensed in the US, that performed procedures on the undocumented.  I've heard a few stories of "when things go terribly wrong".

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
