The instructor of the Latin dancer, who weighed about 250 pounds, went to the beauty salon for a liposuction treatment. During the period, she lost consciousness and died.
The female western doctor responsible for performing the operation was charged with manslaughter. The case is retrial in the High Court today (21st).
The director of the center involved stated that the center had never hired an anesthesiologist, except for liposuction for a female customer who was over 200 pounds. The defendant only recommended the appointment of an anesthesiologist because the customer needed long-term medicine.
The female defendant Guan Xiaozi, 38 years old, was charged with the illegal killing of Li Jiaying (32 years old) due to serious negligence at the Rebirth Hair Transplant Center at Carnarvon Road, Tsim Sha Tsui on June 26, 2014.
The female western doctor Guan Xiaozi denied the manslaughter of the Latin dancer Li Jiaying.

The size of the operating room is sufficient for organ transplantation
Zhou Shaowen, director of the "Rebirth Hair Transplant Center", confessed that the specifications of the operating room in the center involved are the same as those of ordinary operating rooms.
The staff who measured the particles in the operating room even stated that there are fewer particles in the air in the central operating room than in other hospitals, indicating that the size of the operation is sufficient for organ transplant operations.
Only one female client ever hired an anesthesiologist
Zhou also pointed out that the center has never hired an anesthesiologist, except in 2013, the center performed liposuction on the belly of another customer who was obese and weighed more than 200 pounds.
Because the customer took medication for a long time, the defendant requested to hire an anesthesiologist.
The cost of hiring an anesthesiologist this time is about 4,000 yuan, and the center will be responsible for it.
In this operation, the anesthesiologist did not leave until the customer woke up.
Most of the operations are present
Zhou also pointed out that since the center opened, she has been present during most of the operations.
She also pointed out that if the anesthesia machine is turned off after the operation, the patient will wake up immediately.
She explained that "immediately" means within three seconds.
As for the liposuction treatment on June 26, 2014, Zhou said that she had returned to the center that day, but she left early because of a sprained foot.
