There's been a lot of these stories popping up recently. Just a few weeks ago a woman was arrested for posing as a doctor and injecting patients with anything from tire sealant to concrete. One woman died as a result of the injections and coroners found a collection of foreign substances injected into the woman's ass. Seems this trend won't die easy. A New Jersey woman, Kasia Rivera, has been charged with illegal practice of medicine and was arrested on Friday. She is being held on a $75,000 bail. One of her "patients" died after receiving penis injections filled with silicone. The incident took place on May 5 at a "Pump Party", an event attended by transgendered people looking to add curves and fill out certain parts of their anatomy. Pump Parties are illegal and are often administered by an unlicensed practitioner. The victim, Justin Street, took the injection and a day later was suffering from a blood clot that moved from his lungs to his heart. The doctors are blaming the death on silicone embolism, a direct result of the Pump Party. Silicone poisoning is rare but when injected improperly the silicone can leak into the bloodstream and cause clots in major organs.
