I recently read an article in the Star Tribune Newspaper California Surgeon Used Human Fat to Power Car by Carrie Jonson. In this article it talked about how a former Beverly Hills doctor used the fat he liposuctioned out of patients to fuel his car! The California state health officials said that the practice was illegal and that there is an in depth investigation going on to make sure that this actually happened by the California public health department. Former patients are filling lawsuits because they claim that he allowed his unlicensed girlfriend to perform procedures, causing the patients to be disfigured.
