According to a report, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, who appeared in ‘The Show’, died of COVID-19 after contracting the disease. A maskless woman coughed at him as he gave her a lip injection.
Dr Payman Simoni, 50, wore a mask last month while performing the selection method on the woman, who filled out a COVID questionnaire and had her temperature examined – although she was not tested for the virus, TMZ reports .
She contacted the doctor’s office a few days later to report that she later tested positive for the deadly bug, according to the outlet.
Simoni, who is in quarantine, was later admitted to hospital at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was placed on a ventilator, according to TMZ, after suffering from a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath.
According to sources, Simoni was eventually placed in a medically induced coma before dying of a brain haemorrhage on Friday.
“The shock is that he was so perfectly healthy,” Katy Amiri-Younesi, family friend, told KCAL. “He’s a doctor. I called him when I got COVID. He instructed me to do. ”
He added: ‘He was a doctor. And he took all the protocols. ‘
Simoni recently appeared in an upcoming episode of “Gown and Out in Beverly Hills,” during which he performed the same procedure on Patrik Simpson, TMZ reports.
The patient told the point of sale that he had been instructed to do a COVID test and had tested negative beforehand.
