Donda West’s death leads to a new plastic surgery law
It’s not often that something good can come out of a death, particularly a death of someone young and healthy who was taken unexpectedly. So I’m really happy to hear that Donda West’s death has led to a change in law for plastic surgery, making it safer for patients. In California, the death of Donda West, 58, in November prompted two lawmakers to push for additional patient safety protections.Update: INTERN botched surgery & Airman lost legs.
http://www.fox40.com/news/headlines/ktxl-news-airman,0,4446243.story This is an update on the previous story---but one thing still remains unshared: THE NAMES OF THE DOCTORS While it is nice for the USAF to admit wrongdoing, and even admit a travesty occurred...they are not going to allow the press to learn the name of the intern that botched the surgery OR the physician that was responsible for supervising the surgery. A note: From personal experience, this intern cut the aortic valve in this airman's heart ....someplace FAR from where any incision should have been made in order to perform a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Typically the three incisions for this procedure are near the belly button, on the right side near rib cage, and approximately four to six inches off the mid line to the left at rib cage margin....no where close to the aortic valve.Talk the Talk: Tommy John Surgery

Don’t you ever sit in the library and think, “This is alright, but what we really need are some books about plastic surgery for kids.” No? Odd.

She said: “For me, I think what will be sexy in 50 years time will be wrinkles.Looking for advice on fake lashes - lash loss after surgery

Comedienne Rosanne Barr is so sarcastic that it’s hard to tell when she’s being truthful. However it seems that she was telling the truth – or I guess oversharing – last night on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson when she told Craig that she’d had vaginal rejuvenation surgery. Craig asks her what it’s like being out there as a single woman, and she mentions that she had the surgery and she know has a “vajunior” instead of a vagina.
