This guy is in for a whole lot of trouble.
Depending on the circumstances of the case and the state in which the crime occurred, practicing medicine without a license can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony offense. Because of this, the severity of the potential penalties associated with this crime differ significantly among states, and even among cases in the same state. Colorado is very solid with their board certifications and is very consistent with the determination of malpractice.
Jail or prison. A person convicted of a misdemeanor practicing medicine without a license crime faces a maximum jail sentence of up to one year. Felony offenses have more significant penalties associated with them, and anyone convicted of a felony offense can face eight years or more in a state prison.
Fines. Illegally practicing medicine will also result in a potential fine. As with incarceration sentences, the amount of the fine differs among states and depends on whether the crime is a misdemeanor or felony. Misdemeanor fines will typically be no more than $1,000, though larger fines are sometimes possible. Felony fines arm much higher, and can exceed $10,000.
Probation. If you are convicted of practicing medicine without a license, you may also face a probation sentence. Probation is designed to allow someone convicted of a crime to serve his or her punishment outside of a jail or prison setting. Probation is not a get out of jail free sentence, and it imposes significant limitations on what a convicted person is allowed to do. Probation sentences will last at least one year, but multiyear sentences are very common. During that time, a probationer must comply with court imposed restrictions. These commonly include making regular reports to a probation officer, allowing the officer to search your home at will, asking the officer’s permission before you leave the jurisdiction or move, paying all required fines or restitution, and not committing any more crimes.
Restitution. Any time someone illegally practices medicine and charges someone else for those services, or the illegal actions result in a victim suffering a loss, the court will also order restitution. Restitution payments go to victims to compensate them for any losses they have suffered, and amounts differ from case to case.
He may be in for a lot of discipline.

Chode, don’t bother to post it someone already took your advise.
Now you are getting it. I’m gonna be a 300lb jockey in the Preakness tomorrow.
I used to understand news articles written in English.
That act took some balls.
Colorado? Truly mountain oysters.
He heiferized him!!!
One in 25000 have AIS.
If castrating a consenting freak is illegal, then why isn't this illegal:
Roughly one in 5-10,000 people self identifies as a sex other than the one god gave them
Even less have taken hormones or butchered their bodies to cosmetically alter their gender to that dead end
And yet the preponderance of homosexuals in media and news and academia and Hollywood have created this fake narrative that it’s a everywhere and facing bigotry and violence all round
I actually know a few quasi conservstive homosexuals who find this craziness
But the Advocate type of queer activist is all for it
And hipsters are browbeaten
Question(s):
Did the guy who was ‘transitioning’ have Obamacare?
Would Obamacare not cover the cost of the procedure?
Is the ‘good samaritan’ eligible to bill Obamacare for his service?
Does the ‘good samaritan’ have other potential clients?

We learned how to do that in Ag class in HS.
Knife and biting, Berdizzo, rubber bands, ... Must have made an impression, I still remember!
90-minutes????
You would never get all the roundup calves done at that rate.
He could always claim he wasn’t practicing medicine, but engaging in private sexual activity.
>One in 25000 have AIS.
I have no problem with how a person deals with their issues in private. The bravado and sickness of those that need attention of the media can KMA,
I’m a firm believer in privacy of desire as long as it harms none.
This is a clear cut case of religious persecution. The guy who did the “procedure” is a minister in the Church of Psycho Idiot Nutballs and the new Eunuch is one of his followers. /s
So, I guess this procedure
has now placed him/her as a
transgender eunuch? He/she
is going to have a really
hard time trying to identify
as any gender. All sexual desire is now lost.
The Chinese did this
to their palace guards, but
I’m pretty sure the guards
didn’t try to identify as women.
My JHS agriculture class consisted of double row seedbeds, radishes, carrots, etc.
You had the hard core version.
And then there were castrati, boys who were “fixed” to become opera singers with a fabulous range. I read a novel about this years ago...not all of the boys wanted this done, even for the sake of their art. Has to be done early though, before the hormones kick in and the voice deepens. Interesting explanation here:
