China bans liquid to enlarge breasts
China has banned a breast-enlarging liquid that was injected into more than 300,000 women and caused such pain for some that they had their breasts removed -- the latest scandal over dangerous treatments blamed on lax oversight or corrupt doctors.The China Daily, which reported the ban Thursday, said the Chinese-made liquid, Ao Mei Ding, was approved for general use in 2000 before completing required testing and was used in hospitals and beauty parlors throughout the country ... China has had a series of medical scandals recently. This week, state media said five people died after receiving a drug for gallbladder inflammation that contained a counterfeit ingredient that can cause kidney failure. In other cases, patients have been maimed or killed by doctors who performed complex treatments for which they weren't qualified, such as surgery to lengthen limbs.
