(Digital Itla) Seeking to avoid aging, a young woman fell prey to a quack doctor and died immediately after receiving an injection.
It is a reality that few people accept old age gracefully, resorting to various methods to prevent it. In the United States, a young woman passed away after receiving an anti-aging injection from an unlicensed practitioner.
According to foreign media reports, the 27-year-old woman's condition deteriorated rapidly at a medical center in New York City after receiving the anti-aging shot. She was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance but passed away before arrival.
Authorities arrested the 55-year-old individual who administered the injection, Dr. Luis Rojas Cabrera, who confessed during interrogation that he does not hold a medical license to practice in the state.
New York authorities stated that the suspect has been charged with two counts: recklessly endangering human life and unauthorized practice of a profession.
Cabrera was presented before a Bronx court, where the judge granted temporary bail on the condition that his passport be confiscated pending autopsy results.
Before the court, the suspect stated he is a licensed doctor in the Dominican Republic and holds a medical assistant license in Puerto Rico. His application for a license in New York remains pending.
The suspect also confirmed that his only active license within the state of New York is as a cosmetologist/beautician.
