Diane Thompson on Russell Vought’s Campaign to Abolish the CFPB 
A doctor was sentenced to 18 months’ jail on Thursday for administering a substance to a woman as part of an aesthetic treatment that killed her.
The ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was administered too quickly and at too high a concentration, causing 31-year-old Lau Li Ting to develop EDTA toxicity, which led to cardiac arrest and death.
Dr Chan Bingyi later concealed the fact that he had administered EDTA to the victim from her family, paramedics and doctors, in what the judge said was “deplorable conduct” done for his own self-preservation.

The 38-year-old Singaporean had contested one charge of committing a negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide in causing Lau’s death, but was convicted.
Lau, whom the prosecution described as a healthy woman, had visited Revival Medical & Aesthetics Centre in Bras Basah in March 2019 for aesthetic treatment.

In his account to the Ministry of Health (MOH) after the incident, Chan said Lau wanted to improve the fine lines on her forehead.
