Samsung Heiress Investigated for Illegal Propofol Prescription
This article makes me wonder what the real story is that the police are going after the Samsung heiress for something that may have happened 3 years ago?:
Police searched a plastic surgery clinic, Saturday, as part of an investigation into an allegation that Hotel Shilla CEO Lee Boo-jin habitually received injections of propofol, an intravenous short-acting anesthetic. Lee is also the oldest daughter of Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee.

Investigators from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency carried out an eight-hour search at the Gangnam-based clinic from 6:30 p.m., Saturday, and confiscated Lee’s medical records and the clinic’s drug control records.
They conducted a digital forensic analysis to restore deleted data, as well.
Later in the day, police announced they had booked the head of the clinic on the charge of violating the Medical Law.
The search came three days after the drug abuse allegation was first reported by a local media outlet, citing a former employee of the clinic.
According to the report by Newstapa, Lee was regularly given propofol at the hospital from January to October 2016 while the witness worked there. The former employee said Lee received the substance in a VIP room at least twice a month.
In the wake of the allegation, police asked the clinic to submit its documents without seeking a warrant, but it refused to comply.
Hotel Shilla has parried the allegation, claiming that she had only visited the clinic for legitimate treatment.
Back in 2016 when the supposed illegal propofol use happened Lee Boo-jin was recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the Top 50 businesswomen in Asia. That year she was also dealing with a $1 billion divorce fight.

Here’s hoping the prosecutors get everything they have earned (see Romans 6:23). Unless they repent.
Having had four cancer-related surgeries on my head and neck, with reconstruction including “flaps” taken from my legs to replace the diseased skin, muscle, and blood vessels removed, I know there can be a lot of pain after surgery–even two years after…
I was blessed to get off the stronger drugs fairly soon. Not everyone can.
If the doctors prescribed the pain medicine inappropriately–or unlawfully–that’s on them, not the patient.

–Even if she’s a jerk (I don’t know or care).
–Even if she “demanded” it (I don’t know or care).
–Even if a certain Government official’s poll numbers weren’t folding like a cheap suit.
What goes around comes around.
