Miami police arrested 38-year-old Sulky Roose Accius following reports that she performed unlicensed medical procedures and massages. The suspect allegedly drained fluids from surgical incisions and applied bandages without proper licensure.

Why it matters

The case highlights the dangers of seeking medical-adjacent services from unverified providers, as one victim reported suffering from finger numbness following treatments.

A judge set a $3,000 bond for Sulky Roose Accius, who currently faces criminal charges for practicing both a health care profession and massage therapy without a license. The Florida Department of Health confirmed she holds no valid medical or massage therapy credentials.

Legal Context

This case reflects broader enforcement efforts by Florida authorities to curb the rise of unauthorized, non-clinical medical services. The incident aligns with ongoing regional efforts to prosecute individuals violating state health care and massage therapy licensure statutes.

Residents should verify the credentials of any professional offering invasive medical or post-surgical services through state health board websites. The arrest serves as a reminder to avoid social media-based providers who lack the legal authority to perform clinical procedures.

The takeaway

Consumers should never engage providers who offer medical services like drain removal or incision care outside of a clinical setting. Always request a professional license or verify status through state government portals before paying for any healthcare-related treatment.
