Model Dies After Propofol Injection, Doctor Investigated
A popular model in Taiwan named Cai Yuxin died after getting a propofol injection, often called a "milk injection," to help her sleep.
The doctor, known as the "Godfather of Liposuction", gave her the medicine and then left.
An inexperienced assistant was left in charge.
There might have been a mistake with the amount of medicine she received too quickly, which caused her heart and breathing to stop.
She was kept on life support for a few weeks, but she passed away.
The doctor is now being investigated for not following the rules and for leaving her in the care of an unqualified person.
