So if you wanted (another) example of what happens when regulatory oversight is reduced or removed from #healthcare, all you need to do is look at the 'wild west' of #cosmeticsurgery.... 

Of course, there is a perfectly professional & well-regulated segment of the market for such elective #surgery but there are vast areas where charlatans are taking advantage of the desperate or foolish....

And you thought #dentistry was bad?
