Stemming the tide

摘要

SHEILA DRYSDALE'S husband saw stem cells as a last, desperate attempt to ease his wife's symptoms of dementia. Sadly, the same day she received treatment in Sydney - 20 December 2013 -Drysdale died, aged 75. In July 2016, the coroner investigating the case ruled that Drysdale had bled to death as a result of a liposuction procedure involved in the therapy, saying it had some "troubling hallmarks of 'quack' medicine".
