You never imagine when you opt for surgery that it’s going to be performed by someone who's not only not a doctor, but someone who only has a 9th-grade education. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what happened to numerous patients in Central Thailand. Kittikorn Songsri (below, left) advertised his services via social media, operating on at least 2-3 patients every month for nearly 20 years. The 36-year-old revealed that he taught himself how to do implants when he was 14, and that he had been doing them ever since. Unfortunately, a disgruntled patient who suffered a serious infection following a silicone implant alerted police, who promptly arrested Songsri. Police working with officials from the Department of Health arranged for an undercover agent to contact the unlicensed doctor and pose as a prospective client. When he was invited to Songsri’s townhouse for the procedure, a team of officers raided the place and arrested the fake doctor. It turns out that he had provided services for between $150 and $600. He was charged with running an unauthorized medical clinic and providing medical services without a license.
