Kanye West's Mother died....doctor is to blame?

Music rapper and producer Kanye West has been on the minds of many fans after the recent and sudden death of his mother, Donda West. Now, it seems that her doctor is at fault.

The media has been reporting on the death of Donda West and why she died. It was confirmed that it was due to multiple cosmetic surgical procedures that were a serious risk to her health. Of course, good doctors would not even perform risky surgery if they could potentially be fatal. However, people who are just after money and their own celebrity status are another story. It appears that the doctor who performed the surgery on Kanye West's mother has malpractice suits against him and is under investigation by the state medical board in California. This was all in motion even before the procedure that killed Donda West.

One important question is why wasn't there a second opinion about choosing this particular doctor? Maybe the answer lies in the fact that he has his own TV show and has also appeared on popular entertainment TV shows. This is not a doctor who is concerned about the health of his patients. This is a doctor who wants to be as rich and famous as the people he performs cosmetic surgery on. Donda West suffered as a result of this self-centered behavior. If you are going to to any major medical procedures, the health status of your patient should be considered first and foremost. The doctor, (Dr. Jan Adams to be exact) was probably considering how many
cars he could choose from using the payment from this deadly incident.

News reports indicate that Donda West died from surgical complications. However, the official cause of death does not appear to have bene released yet. Dr. Jan Adams claims that Kanye West's mother did not die from the surgery, but could have died from a heart attack or other occurrences. If he is so certain what could have caused her death, wouldn't he want to check first, before performing something that could cause this incident? Initially, after learning that another doctor would not perform these multiple procedures and warned Donda West about her health, I thought that maybe she wanted a second opinion and the doctor who gave her that did not do her any good.

However, in the end, every adult makes the decision about what to do with their own bodies when it comes to cosmetic surgery. If you know that you could have major health problems from getting certain procedures done and you do it anyway, you are putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

Who do think is at fault for this incident?

How PayPerPost may have saved Indie Films

Fundraising and saving out-of-pocket money to make films can be daunting at times. That is one of the reasons why I signed up for PayPerPost. I read about the company on many blogs that ranged from Work at Home Opportunities to Random Lifetsyle views and activities. However, I never had interest in working with the company until the last two months. Some view blogging as a waste of time, especially if you do not get paid from it. While there are lots of advertising opportunities available, many bloggers actually do not make much money if they make anything at all.

That is where I decided to try out PayPerPost. While I enjoy writing on the Madlab Post, it doesn't bring in as much revenue as I would prefer. Still, I don't mind blogging here because my main focus is gaining exposure for my films and video projects as well as the movies made by other filmmakers. It would be nice to be able to make an income from the movies, but they have to be made first. That is where PayPerPost comes in. Since most of my income is used for all of the expenses that come with the cost of living in this busy and high priced society, there is barely enough left over to make more films. PayPerPost is where I get paid to blog

Working with PayPerPost has allowed me to do two things. First, it has provided some revenue for my blog, which makes it so that blogging isn't a waste of time, like many women and men tend to think. Secondly, it provides the opportunity to build up enough money to make more films and purchase or rent editing equipment, studios, props, wardrobe food for cast and crew members and more. Film Festival entry fees tend to make it difficult to apply and thats just the beginning. It is even more epensive to travel to these film festivals where fun movies are showing.

There are opportunities to make anywhere from $5 up to $200 or more for a blog post on specific topics. This is why I am glad that I decided to try PayPerPost. I have recently found that other members are friendly and willing to help each other out no matter if it's related to PayPerPost of blogging in general. This company has made blogging more enjoyable and it has even influenced me to work on improving this blog as much as I can. PayPerPost is a great company to work with and can definitely be a helpful tool for independent filmmaking and other arts related projects.

Who Else is lying about Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell?

Within the last two months, fans of Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell have come across information about the male actor being homosexual and this couple getting divorced. This was all rumors, and very insulting at best. The October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine featured and interview with actress Tisha Campbell that exhibited a much different truth from what some media outlets have stated. This was refreshing, given that an earlier post discussed the false rumor behind Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell’s divorce and his so-called homosexuality. Hopefully, many people who are still concerned about this have read the October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine or found truth somewhere else in the media.

Sister 2 Sister Magazine/October 2007

The divorce and so-called “homosexual” lifestyle of Duane Martin is inaccurate and a very cruel rumor. It is ridiculous that anyone would start to put this information out in the first place. When I was first given the news a few months ago from someone who had the story in a newspaper, I was surprised that such a talented and seemingly happy couple would divorce and it was not easy to believe that Duane Martin would be homosexual. However, since it was in a popular newspaper that also covered professional sports and politics, the news appeared to be accurate. From this whole fiasco, it is evident now more than ever that we cannot go on something that is printed or stated in any form of the media, especially when it is about celebrities.

One Madlab Post reader commented with concerns about it being such a big deal if someone is homosexual. While that concern is understandable, my focus at that time was on the fact that Tisha Campbell was being led on. I like both actors and my whole point in the initial post (prior to finding out that this was all nothing but false rumors) was the fact that if someone is gay, then be gay. Don’t perpetrate an act like you are something else and you’re not. That was not a position for just Duane Martin…..that goes for anybody. If you are gay, then be gay. If you are heterosexual than be that. If you are Bi, or a Swinger, etc. and the list goes on. You get the picture. Be who you are and do what it is that you want to do, what makes you happy.

Both Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell deserve to be happy. Another reader commented on the earlier post stating that it is their business. That is correct, no matter what is going on in Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell’s life. No one can argue with that because when it really comes down to it, who really needs to know everything about celebrities. Should people really care who Paris Hilton is dating when we have lots of environmental problems and should see more news shows that cover progress with curing major diseases and health conditions? However, what is more important is the fact that such a rumor began in the first place. It is very cruel and no one should print information that they know is false. This is a married couple that includes two very talented actors that we are talking about here.

Outside of being celebrities, Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell are parents, friends, business partners and loved ones to many people that many of us do not even know. Cruel rumors such as the ones that spread all over the place in the last few months affect the people in their lives as well. Therefore, it is very upsetting to have pointed out information that was actually false. For those who are still seeking out this divorce and “homosexual” news regarding Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell, the time has come to get things straight. IT IS FALSE. Any other place that has stated these rumors to be true is still trying to keep negative information flowing.

Tisha Campbell has spoken out about this, so there is no reason to believe any internet website, newspaper, magazine, tabloid or radio host that speaks of these rumors. While reading the October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, it was disturbing to find out that these rumors have even spread so far as to include even more false details about Duane Martin. This has to stop. It has been taken to the source….Tisha Campbell-MARTIN who confirmed that these are mere rumors. Therefore, if you are still wondering about the two actors and have refused to look for the truth, here is your answer…NO, Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin are NOT getting a divorce, NO, They did NOT get a divorce already and NO, Duane Martin is NOT homosexual. The rumors about this couple must stop NOW.
