injections that left him blind in one eye.

A transvestite hoping silicone injections to the face
would give him more womanly charm instead went blind in one eye after
botched injections by the two ladyboys he hired to do the job.
Nopparat Amphanan, 23, told police he was approached
by two “women of the second category” after finishing his shift at the
Stringfellow’s go-go bar around 2:30 a.m. Known only as “Ae” and “Oh,”
the pair offered inexpensive silicone injections for the cheeks and
forehead.
Nopparat said he paid the duo 3,000 baht for the
treatment, but woke up the next day nauseated and swollen. Soon after,
he lost sight in one eye. An eye doctor then told him that the silicone
had been injected into a vein, causing a blockage that cut off blood to
the eye. The damage is permanent.
Despite having no real names to go on, the blinded
transvestite asked police to pursue the two needle-wielding quacks.
