Kanye West: Defying Doctors & Driving Kim Kardashian Away?

Last month, Kanye West was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown that resulted in at least one 911 call. The rapper received nearly two weeks of in-patient treatment at the UCLA Medical Center, and while he has since been released, he remains under 24-hour medical supervision. Sources say Kanye is getting better by the day, but he reportedly continues to suffer setbacks, in large part because he frequently defies doctor’s orders. “Everyone in the family is still very worried about Kanye, but he will not listen to anyone because Kanye thinks he knows it all,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. The insider adds that West’s refusal to slow down and make his recovery his top priority has left his family and medical staff deeply concerned about the possibility of a relapse. Of particular concern is Kanye’s decision to bury himself in his work rather than confront his problems: “He has just become even more withdrawn and, instead of getting rest and relaxation, he is at his studio working 24/7,” the source claims. It seems part of the problem is that Kanye and Kim Kardashian are living in separate homes for the safety of their children. (The severity of West’s condition has not been conclusively determined.) The forced estrangement is reportedly taking a considerable toll on Kanye and making it even more difficult for him to focus on his mental health. “Kanye has spent very little time at home with Kim and the kids, which is why they have stayed at Kris’s house several times after Kanye had his breakdown,” says the source. Insiders claim that the reports about Kim and Kanye getting divorced are bogus, and insist that they’re only living under separate roofs out of an abundance of caution. It seems the couple is currently stuck in a sort of catch-22 situation: Kim’s absence is exacerbating Kanye’s condition, but he can’t live with his wife and children again until he’s well enough that he won’t be putting them at risk. We’ll have further information on this story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos

Jesus Take The Wheel: Catholic Hospital Refuses To Admit Woman Bleeding From Dislodged IUD Because Of This

Catholic Hospital Refuses To Admit Woman Bleeding From Dislodged IUD A Chicago woman was turned away at a Catholic hospital after her IUD dislodged because the church opposes birth control reports ReWire News: Melanie Jones arrived for her doctor’s appointment bleeding and in pain. Jones, 28, who lives in the Chicago area, had slipped in her bathroom, and suspected the fall had dislodged her copper intrauterine device (IUD). Her doctor confirmed the IUD was dislodged and had to be removed. But the doctor said she would be unable to remove the IUD, citing Catholic restrictions followed by Mercy Hospital and Medical Center and providers within its system. “I think my first feeling was shock,” Jones told Rewire in an interview. “I thought that eventually they were going to recognize that my health was the top priority.” The doctor left Jones to confer with colleagues, before returning to confirm that her “hands [were] tied,” according to two complaints filed by the ACLU of Illinois. Not only could she not help her, the doctor said, but no one in Jones’ health insurance network could remove the IUD, because all of them followed similar restrictions. Mercy, like many Catholic providers, follows directives issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that restrict access to an array of services, including abortion care, tubal ligations, and contraception. The number of acute care hospitals that are Catholic owned or affiliated has grown by 22 percent over the past 15 years, according to MergerWatch, with one in every six acute care hospital beds now in a Catholic owned or affiliated facility. Women in such hospitals have been turned away while miscarrying and denied tubal ligation SMH!!!! Continue reading

Frats Gone Too Far: Buffalo State’s Alpha Phi Alpha Suspended After Student Dies In Alleged Toxic Hazing

Alpha Phi Alpha Suspended After Death Of Allegedly Hazed Student A 21 year old Buffalo State student named Bradley Doyley died at Buffalo General Medical Center this week after vomiting blood and being sick for several weeks. According to the NYDailyNews , the college’s branch of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity may be responsible for his death. Witnesses say that the frat forced Doyley to “drink something toxic” as part of his hazing initiation. After Bradley’s illness persisted and intensified, he was said to have been taken into surgery to have his stomach examined. Buffalo police are investigating allegations that Doyley’s death may be linked to a hazing incident at an off-campus Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity house. The campus chapter of the organization has been suspended by both the college and the fraternity’s national governing body. College officials told WKBW-ABC that Doyley was not a member of the frat and was not pledging. “He had not completed the application process with the national fraternity,” a spokesperson for the SUNY school told the station. But students who knew Doyley told a different story. “I was in the weight room and heard he was pledging and was made to drink some type of toxic substance,” Dametrius Brown, a member of the college football team, told the Buffalo News. “I keep hearing different stories. First it was detergent, then some said sewer water.” We get that people like frats and sororities and whatnot, but how much pain and suffering are you really down to endure just to kick it with a couple of color-coordinated friends?

Paul Rudd Celebrates Kansas City Royals World Series Win

Back in July, when the classic movie Clueless turned 20 years old, we asked a simple question: What are the main cast members up to now ? On Sunday night, meanwhile, Paul Rudd gave us the most immediate answer: he’s on Cloud Nine. The lifelong Kansas City Royals fan didn’t just get to bear witness to his favorite team winning the World Series. He got to do it while actually in attendance at Citi Field in New York, and then he got to be doused with beer and champagne into the Kansas City locker room. The Royals defeated the Mets in five games to capture the title, shocking the sports world in the clincher by scoring two runs to tie the game in the ninth inning. They then became the first team in World Series history to score five runs in an extra inning, going on to win by a score of 7-2. “I haven’t thought about anything. I can’t even believe that I’m standing here right now. I don’t know how I snuck in,” Rudd said to reporters after the contest, adding: “I’ve been to every single World Series the Royals have been in. “It makes no sense. It makes sense that they won because they’re incredible. It makes no sense that I’m here right now, celebrating this.” So at least you can take some comfort, Mets fans. It sucks your team lost in the World Series. But it made Paul Rudd happy and, come on, is there a more universally-beloved actor out there than Paul Rudd?

Opera Singer Files $2.5 Milli Lawsuit Over Episiotomy That Left Her With “Excessive Flatulence And Periodic Leakage Of Stool!”

We know isht happens , but not like this! SMH… According to NY Daily News reports : A professional opera singer has been left unable to perform after a military nurse allegedly botched her childbirth to leave her incontinent and with severe flatulence. Amy Herbst, 33, claims nurse-midwife Tiffany Williams carried out an unnecessary episiotomy at Fort Campbell’s Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, Kentucky, in Feb. 2012 without her consent. She alleges that the procedure — involving the cutting of tissue between the vagina and anus to help deliver the baby — damaged her digestive and reproductive systems. It also ruined the professional mezzo-soprano’s lucrative singing career and means she suffers intense pain during sex. Herbst and her husband Staff Sgt. James Herbst are now suing the government in Cincinnati federal court for $2.5 million for negligence, pain and suffering, embarrassment and loss of income. The lawsuit states that Herbst was not asked, at any point during the labor process, about the possible risks and benefits of the procedure. “At no time was she asked to consent, nor did she consent, to the performance of an episiotomy,” it adds. Birth records do reveal, reports the Military Times, that the episiotomy was carried out because the baby boy’s shoulder placement was blocking his delivery. Following her release from hospital, the lawsuit claims that Herbst “began to experience fecal urgency and incontinence, including periodic leaking of stool and excessive flatulence.” “She complained she could feel gas coming out of her vagina and was also experiencing difficulty controlling bowel movements,” it added. A nurse then allegedly told Herbst that the attempt to repair her incision with sutures had failed and that there had been a “complete breakdown” of the tissue. Surgeons at Vanderbilt University Medical Center reportedly told Herbst she’d need reconstructive surgery but that it would not completely cure her condition. And, once the repair has been performed, she was told she would have to undergo C-sections in future pregnancies. With medical staff saying C-sections could risk her singing career, she has decided not to undergo surgery until she has finished having children. The hospital has not commented on the claims. This is crazy… It sounds like she really deserves the $2.5 milli!
