Model dies after ‘milk injection' from the ‘Godfather of Liposuction' in attempt to cure her chronic insomnia
A MODEL has died after getting a "milk injection" from the "Godfather of Liposuction". Cai Yuxin - who boasted tens of thousands of followers online - was desperately seeking any treatment to cure her chronic insomnia in Taiwan. 4 4 4 The 40-year-old model got a "milk injection" at a clinic in Taipei - a short-acting intravenous anaesthetic called propofol used for sedation and anaesthesia in hospital settings. The killer injection was administered by Taiwan's "Godfather of Liposuction" - Wu Shaohu, the clinic's director. After Cai was injected, the liposuction Godfather then reportedly left the clinic - leaving only an assistant with no nursing licence to monitor the model's condition. Local media reports that the equipment may not have been set up properly, leading to an increase in the drip rate of the injection. This therefore caused a larger dose of the anaesthetic to be delivered in a short time frame. Cai - who had over 32,000 social media followers - tragically suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest. The assistant managed to reach Wu on a video call, who guided him in performing CPR on Cai. But by the time the clinic director desperately scrambled back to the clinic, the model was no longer breathing and her heart had stopped. She was then rushed to hospital for emergency treatment, where she remained in a coma for 19 days - but her family later decided to stop her life support. Local authorities have launched a probe into Wu on potential charges of causing serious injury due to negligence and violating the Medical Care Act. The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan classifies propofol as a Schedule IV controlled substance, under the conditions that it is only administered by those qualified to do so under appropriate monitoring. Taiwanese anaesthesiologist Lai Xianyong stressed how propofol is a strictly regulated medication and clinics like Wu's that use it unlawfully to treat insomnia are in breach of medical ethics. Lai said: "Similar incidents occur every year. It's truly deplorable. "Medical personnel providing such services without proper airway management training are placing patients' lives in serious jeopardy." Tributes for Cai from her tens of thousands of followers have been pouring in. One person said on social media: "This is undoubtedly murder. I hope the police swiftly identify those responsible for her death and bring them to justice." Another commented: "Rest in peace. "Thank you for gracing our world – we will miss you." 4
