    The person who reported the case to police was under the impression that Gutierrez-Farfan was a licensed provider.

    Right, because licensed medical providers so often practice healthcare out of an old drink cooler in the parking lot at the mall lol

      When I was a dumb as bricks teenager, a “professional tattoo artist” did tattoos in his living room where his six buddies would smoke. He also charged like half the price of a regular tattoo place, and said he’s passing the savings by doing it at home.

      I wasn’t the client, just the friend. But i didn’t question it until like a decade later.

      At least she had actual Botox. Before reading the article, I half expected her to have a reusable hypodermic and a dented can of tuna.

      It is FL, you can just tell them you’re in the parking lot because Obama is forcing everyone to wear a mask indoors now.

      I think you mean lemur. Librarians advocate for a sort-of live-and-let-live form of government.

        No that’s a libertarian. A librarian is a folklore creature commonly associated with the color green and a pot of gold

      As long as they’re paying the lot entry and usage fee and the road tolls on their way to it. It would not be acceptable to use private infrastructure without paying the landlords. It is literally stealing food out of their children’s mouths and violating the NAP.

    To be fair, she looks pretty good for almost 50. For a parking lot cosmetic surgeon, she must be one of the better ones.
