if you're looking to get in on the cutting edge of crime, there's no more lucrative career during these wonderfully vain and self-absorbed times than fake plastic surgery. Take Ana Josefa Sevilla of Miami, a fraudulent M.D. specializing in the art of discount butt enhancement...
Our saga begins a few months back, when Lady Sevilla was trolling for customers outside a Miami spa. That's where she encountered Donia Rodriguez. The two women got to talking, and Donia complained that she didn't like the shape and contour of her butt. It was apparently lacking in all-encompassing bootiliciousness.
Sevilla, claiming to be a doctor, offered to make those worries go away for the low, low, everyday price of $1,100. So Donia showed up at Sevilla's fake medical practice for the procedure.
Sevilla first injected an unknown substance that she claimed was anesthesia. But fake anesthesia, just like fake doctors, doesn't seem to work very well. As Sevilla continued to drill Donia's butt with injections, the pain kept getting more unbearable, until Donia finally passed out.
She was so out of it after the procedure that she had to call her mom to pick her up. She would soon need surgery after developing severe infections, and she ended up spending two weeks in a hospital. Doctors believe she could have been killed -- or at least lost her leg -- if she waited any longer for treatment.
This isn't the first time a woman's nearly died from fake butt enhancement. Florida police say the practice is a damn-near epidemic. Women seeking to beautify themselves on the cheap have been injected with everything from super glue to Fix-A-Flat, the chemical used to repair car tires. They're also getting injected with silicone used for industrial purposes, not the medical kind.
All of which is endangering the good name of vanity in Florida -- and causing an out-break of lumpy and misshapen butts. Festering ass wounds, it would appear, just are catching on this season on the sands of South Beach.
Sevilla, meanwhile, has been hit with two counts of unlicensed practice of a health care profession and practicing medicine without a license.if you're looking to get in on the cutting edge of crime, there's no more... more

Abbie Dorn, a severely disabled woman, is battling her ex-husband, Dan, for visitation rights of their triplets. Abbie became disabled following a medical mishap while giving birth to her children in June 2006. Abbie's uterus was nicked by her doctor while he removed the couple's third child. She lost massive amounts of blood, which initially caused her to go into shock and then into cardiac arrest. As a result, Abbie was left unable to speak or move. Dan filed for divorce a year after the incident and stopped bringing to children to visit their mother. Abbie is currently cared for by her parents. Her treatment is funded by a multi-million dollar malpractice settlement she received from the hospital. Abbie's parents say she has made great progress over the years and that their daughter is able to read and communicate through blinking her eyes. They claim she has expressed a strong and consistent desire to see her children, which is what prompts the battle over visitation with her ex-husband. Dan believes it would be detrimental to the children to expose them to Abbie in her current state, and doubts the legitimacy of her parent's claim that she "asks" for the children. He feels the children might blame themselves for her condition and claims he wants to wait until they are older before her tells them about their mother. Dan is currently seeking child support from Abbie; money which would need to be taken out of the trust that currently funds her treatment.Abbie Dorn, a severely disabled woman, is battling her ex-husband, Dan, for visitation... more

Reminiscent of "Soylent Green" in terms of sheer audacity of the government. For reference, this is not a pro-Tibetan article, this is an anti-CCP article. It relates the stories of members of Falun Gong, victims of an unregistered and unregulated practice of illegal black market organ harvesting program (perhaps pogrom would be more accurate) carried out by the CCP from the late 90's up to 2006. Thousands of people have disappeared into the Chinese detention and forced labor systems and never been heard from again. Draw your own conclusions (but read the article first).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ending:
Tibetan sources estimate that 5,000 protesters disappeared in this year's crackdown. Many have been sent to Qinghai, a potential center of organ harvesting. But that's speculative. Both the Taiwanese doctors who investigate organ harvesting and those who arrange transplants for their Taiwanese patients agree on one point: The closing ceremony of the Olympics made it once again open season for harvesting.
Some in the human rights community will read that last assertion with skepticism. Until there is countervailing evidence, however, I'll bet on bargain-basement prices for organs in China. I confess, I feel a touch of burnout myself at this thought. It's an occupational hazard.
It's why I told that one-night-in-Bangkok joke to get you to read beyond the first paragraph. Yet what's really laughable is the foot-dragging, formalistic, faintly embarrassed response of so many to the murder of prisoners of conscience for the purpose of harvesting their organs. That's an evil crime.
Washington faces its own imperatives: The riptide of Chinese financial power is strong. Those in government do not want to hear about Falun Gong and genocide at a time of financial crisis, with China holding large numbers of U.S. bonds. So the story continues to founder under the lead weight of American political and journalistic apathy. At least the Europeans have given it some air. They can afford to. They aren't the leader of the free world.
It will be argued--quietly, of course--that America has no point of easy leverage, no ability to undo what has been done, no silver bullet that can change the Chinese regime. Perhaps not, but we could ban Americans from getting organ transplants in China. We could boycott Chinese medical conferences. Sever medical ties. Embargo surgical equipment. And refuse to hold any diplomatic summits until the Chinese put in place an explicit, comprehensive database of every organ donor in China.
We may have to live with the Chinese Communist party, for now. For that matter, we can console ourselves that there are no bones, for now. There will be none until the party falls and the Chinese people begin to sift through the graves and ashes.
We are all allowed a touch of compassion fatigue--it's understandable. But make no mistake: There are terrible lizards. And now that the Olympic Games are over, and the cameras have turned away, they roam the earth again.

She was a vibrant young mother who went to a Brooklyn hospital for what she thought was a kidney stone. She wound up leaving without her hands and feet because of what her lawyers call a "medical mistake."
Now, Tabitha Mullings is suing for $100 million.
The 32-year-old suffered an infection and ended up a quadriplegic with impaired vision.
"Because of this hospital, this emergency room, with back pain and side pain, and she leaves here on a stretcher with no hands and feet and legally blind," said Sanford Rubenstein, Mullings' attorney.
It was on Sept. 14 when Mullings came to the hospital suffering from abdominal pain, and had a kidney stone, and a condition with a known propensity for infection.
But Mullings' lawyers say there was no blood test. She was sent home, and when her fiancé brought her back the next day, an infection was raging. It choked off the blood flow to her extremities. After gangrene set in, her hands turned black, her feet turned black, all four limbs had to be amputated.
"What happened was, the infection attacked not only her hands and feet, but also the optic nerve which is why she went blind in one eye and half blind in the other eye and is now legally blind as well," Rubenstein saidShe was a vibrant young mother who went to a Brooklyn hospital for what she thought... more

She went to a Brooklyn emergency room suffering from what she thought was just a kidney stone, but a medical nightmare left her partly blind and a quadruple amputee.
Tabitha Mullings claims doctors at Brooklyn Hospital Center failed to diagnose an infection that has literally eaten her alive.
A spokesman for the hospital failed to respond to requests for comment.
Mullings and her lawyers plan to hit the hospital with a medical malpractice suit today in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
"I'm angry at the people in the emergency room," Mullings said. "I don't think they did their job."
Her agonizing ordeal began Sept. 14, when she went to the Fort Greene emergency room in pain. Doctors diagnosed it as a kidney stone.
Lawyer Sanford Rubenstein said Mullings was given painkillers and sent home.
"They needed to admit her to the hospital, not send her home with pain medication," Rubenstein said. "She needed to be worked up much more thoroughly, not discharged."
When the pain intensified, Mullings dialed 911 twice in 24 hours, but medics determined she did not need to be hospitalized, she said.
On Sept. 15, Mullings' fiancé rushed her back to Brooklyn Hospital Center, where the sepsis infection became not only obvious but full-blown. The infection quickly choked off blood flow to her extremities and her right optic nerve, and she lapsed into a semicoma that lasted two weeks.
"I woke up with black feet and black hands," Mullings said.
Grappling to get the infection under control, doctors were forced to amputate both her feet and hands. The infection rendered her blind in her right eye.
Mullings said that just a week before her catastrophic illness took hold, she passed the state court officers exam and was looking forward to a career as a civil servant.She went to a Brooklyn emergency room suffering from what she thought was just a... more

Mange Ram, 19, lost consciousness in the stampede that killed 150 people and was triggered by rumors of a landslide leading to a Hindu temple devoted to the goddess Naina Devi.
Ram awoke in the hospital morgue Sunday in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
"When I woke up, I was in the middle of a row of bodies waiting for post mortem," he told the Times. "My throat was parched and I asked for water. Towering over me the doctors and nursing staff at Anandpur Sahib Civil Hospital looked dazed. They must have been surprised to see a dead man come alive like that."
Sat Pal Aggarwal, a doctor on the pilgrimage, said little was done to see if victims of the stampede were still alive.
"People were dumped quite haphazardly into trucks without following any procedure or checking if they were alive," he told the Times.
Despite the huge loss of life, the pilgrimage continued only hours after the corpses had been cleared, according to the newspaper.Mange Ram, 19, lost consciousness in the stampede that killed 150 people and was... more

You could be denied medical service at the facility of your choice based on the insurance plan your family can afford....
This is a case where the hospital and the insurance company were unable to reach a payment agreement. The hospital and insurance companies have mutually agreed not to do business with each other.
The patients in the hospital who are receiving treatment will have to leave before the deadline set in the agreement, although a clause has been left saying that those with the insurance can still receive emergency room services such as trauma or child birth. I think it's outrageous that you could be denied medical service at the facility of your choice based on the insurance plan your family can afford. This makes room for patient discrimination. Here's the article:
Temple University Health System's doctors are notifying patients that they've reached an impasse in contract negotiations with Keystone Mercy Health Plan.
The contract expires Aug. 31. "Based on the expiration of these contracts, [Temple University Physicians] can no longer provide primary care, specialty care or hospital outpatient testing at Temple University Health System facilities for patients covered by Keystone Mercy," the university said in a written release this week.
Keystone Mercy is a Medicaid-managed care plan operated by Mercy Health System and Keystone First, a subsidiary of Independence Blue Cross.
Keystone Mercy subscribers will still be able to receive emergency care and treatment for ongoing health conditions, such as pregnancy or chronic illness.
The contract dispute involves about 350 physicians and the health plan. The contract expired on Dec. 31, 2007 and it has been extended four times.
Temple estimates that nearly 12,000 patients are affected by the contract problems. It says the doctors receive $8 million a year from Keystone Mercy - $12 million less than it costs to provide care to the company's subscribers.
The health system itself has extended its contract with Keystone Mercy until Nov. 30, according to Rick Buck, a Keystone spokesman.
"It is Keystone Mercy's intention to maintain its business relationship with Temple University Physicians and Temple University Health System," Buck said.
