We should offer these two doctors' services for free penis enlargements to all billionaires.

[-] markz@suppo.fi 101 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Rather than free, you should offer the most exclusive and expensive dong surgeries on earth.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 70 points 3 months ago

You're both half right. You offer the most exclusive expensive penis enlargement surgury for free just for them, BECAUSE they're a billionaire.

Nothing rich assholes love more than getting expensive shit for free because of their privledge.

Belgian-Israeli businessman Ehud Arye Laniado, founder of Omega Diamonds, suffered a fatal heart attack while undergoing injections intended to enlarge his penis.

...

However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Call me paranoid, but I'd like anyone giving me penis injections to be licensed to practice medicine.

[-] becausechemistry@piefed.social 121 points 3 months ago

You sound like the brainwashed masses. He, a billionaire, was much more qualified to determine if someone is fit to practice medicine than some institutional board. Obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t have been a billionaire.

Or the Oceangate ethos: They're are too many unnecessary rules in medicine! Controlled experiments to test new drugs are just slowing down innovation!

This is way more efficient than putting them each in a submarine

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 99 points 3 months ago

An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn't tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.

He died while the procedure was being performed at a private clinic in March 2019

I wondered why he wasn’t answering my calls! Why are we only just finding out about this now?

I still think autoerotic asphyxiation is the most embarrassing way to die, but, thanks to this article, I’ve now been introduced to a close second.

The fact that he was a billionaire diamond magnate just makes it easier to laugh.

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

this is definitely worse than autoerotic asphyxiation, that's just someone trying and failing to explore their kink...this is just someone who won the game of life being insecure about his dick

I can't believe being a billionaire wasn't enough for this man, he was still insecure that he felt the need to buy a bigger dick.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but women don't need a gorilla sized dick! They need you to eat them out! (this guy had a wife. We need to ask men if they crave gorilla dicks)

I applaud billionaire willing to die to show us what's right and wrong. Submarine excursions when you have no clue what you're doing, ruining the lives of millions with price hikes, penis enlargement surgery with unlicensed surgeons… keep at it billionaires. Let's step: going to Mars without a backup plan, because thinking things ahead is for pussy. You can do it!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Let this be an example to every surgeon out there that if a billionaire patient dies during or after a surgery:

It can't simply be a statistical death, their trusts will have investigators digging through your trash for years and feeding a team of laywers to find the slightest excuse to end your career even if they die because they were taking party drugs and weren't honest with you.

Its best to just refuse doing surgery on a billionaire.

“There was something futile and sad about trying to find someone responsible at all costs, following a purely accidental death.“

This was purely a case of litigation because they were a billionaire.

The “unlicensed” surgeon? Had an Algerian degree, which was a French colony, that’s just racism.

They were clearly just throwing charges at them until something stuck, presumably at the rich inheritor’s request.

Kind of weird that the surgeons are implicated to have caused it in the headline, when he died of a heart problem unrelated to the cosmetic surgery.

You'd think the drugs and medications he was taking would be more at fault in that case.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 29 points 3 months ago

The surgery was not found to be the cause of death. It's just included in the headline this way for clicks.

So pathetic they tried to pin this on the surgeon too.

The lead surgeon, identified only as “Guy H.”, was initially investigated on suspicion of manslaughter. However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Investigators determined that the injection itself was not responsible for Laniado’s death.

A judicial source told Le Parisien that the procedure was “quickly ruled out” as the cause.
