SYDNEY, Australia — A Chinese tourist with no Australian medical license has been charged with the manslaughter after police say she gave a woman an anesthetic during a procedure at a Sydney beauty clinic last week and the woman later died. Shao Jie, 33, was not required to appear in Sydney’s Central Local Court on Tuesday when a prosecutor announced that charges against her had been upgraded. Shao allegedly administered drugs to Jean Huang, 35, during a breast procedure at Sydney’s Medi Beauty Laser and Contour Clinic last Wednesday. Shao had been charged last week with causing reckless grievous bodily harm and using poison to endanger life. Court documents allege Shao administered “an intoxicating substance,” tramadol and Lidocaine to Huang during the procedure.
