Is it possible to read Member properties direct from the database and avoid the Cache?

I need to do this to get Member data that is saved on this event

public void Initialize()
{
  MemberService.Saved += MemeberService_Saved;
}

However, the data is not available on this event and the Cache Updated event does not fire when saving a Member as discussed here

public void Initialize()
{
  CacheRefresherBase<ContentCacheRefresher>.CacheUpdated += CacheUpdated;
}
