Video: Illegal Doctor Sisters Run for Border After Patient Dies

It’s okay to be an entrepreneur when you’re either licensed, educated and/or experienced in the field which you plan to provide your service.  But don’t be like these two sisters, Alejandra and Guadulupe Viveros, who  thought they would open up their own medical business (of sorts) IN THEIR HOME and inject folks with silicone and only God knows what else as a part of their home business.  They have been administering illegal shots and procedures and been in trouble with the law.  But they are out on $20,000 bond and guess where they are now?  Your guess would be BETTER than California police’s leads.  After administering a fatal shot of silicone to a young mother these sisters ran for the border!
