Michael Jackson Autopsy Results

The autopsy took place Friday morning. Even if it may take two weeks to get the official results of Michael Jackson's autopsy, the autopsy itself has already been completed, and according to the source, which has provided the information under condition of anonymity, the autopsy revealed no signs of violence or trauma. The death must be attributed to heart attack followed by cardiac arrest. The name of the doctor, who performed the CPR on Michael Jackson, is Conrad Murray, and he is a cardiologist. Mr. Murray's car was found by the police near Michael Jackson's home when the police arrived at the scene. It was then taken by the police to the Police Station for examination, since inside there could be samples of medications used by the doctor in the last desperate attempt to save Michael Jackson's life. The police also released announcement saying Conrad Murray is not suspected on the case, though he was actually the sole witness at the time the heart attack began.

From the other hand, it is alleged that Michael Jackson died after receiving an injection of painkiller Demerol, which was reportedly "too much". According to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a longtime friend, who had spent Friday with the Jacksons, the family is suspicious of the fact that the doctor had left the scene, was not available to sign the death certificate or answer the family's questions about their son's final moments, according to the ABC News. Rev. Jesse Jackson also said it's possible the family would ask for an independent autopsy.

Michael Jackson died 25 June at UCLA Medical Center.

These specialty clinics can be found in most major cities and your doctor will be able to provide you with a referral to one that is close to your location.

Many hemorrhoid removal clinics also offer other special services, such as Colon Cancer Screening. These scans are now being recommended for all adults over the age of 50, at least once every five years. This can increase the chances of discovering colon cancer, which typically grows quite slowly. Since it can remain undetected for many years, it is very important to get a regular evaluation in order to check on the state of your colon's health. Colon cancer can be prevented with regular evaluations, and if it occurs it can be treated, but treatment is much more effective during the early stages of the disease.

Hemorrhoid removal clinics will be able to offer patients a wide variety of options. Whether it is non-invasive treatments that can be performed on an outpatient basis, or more serious procedures, these clinics have much to offer patients. Sometimes patients will have both hemorrhoid and Anal Fissures. Most find that it is very beneficial to visit a hemorrhoid removal clinic, since they do have a specialized method of treatment and many more options than are commonly offered.

There are numerous treatments that can be obtained at a hemorrhoid removal clinic. Most are painless and offer a very brief recovery time. Some of these treatments are 98% effective in the permanent removal of hemorrhoids, and they offer a viable alternative to patients who prefer a more comprehensive solution as opposed to topical treatments that do not address the actual condition.

When visiting a Hemorrhoid Removal clinic for the first time, you will be evaluated to determine which method of removal is right for you. Since there are so many different options, you will be able to select a treatment that you are comfortable with. It is important to make sure that you share your entire medical history with these specialists so that they have all the information required to treat your condition.

What is Concierge Medicine?

A concept that originated in Seattle over 15 years ago, Concierge Medicine is a type of medical practice now found in many metropolitan areas across the country. Also known as "Concierge Health Care", "Boutique Medicine" or "Retainer Medicine", the concept has come to represent a higher level of healthcare for those who want a more personalized relationship with their physician.

In most concierge practices, doctors provide their patients with 24-hour a day access to them via cell phone, as well as offer their patients with the option of house calls in order to make their medical care as convenient as possible. This model has proven successful for those physicians who want to see a fewer number of patients on a day to day basis thus allowing them to spend more time nourishing individual patient relationships.

For patients, concierge healthcare has brought back an old-style format of medicine in a modern world. The concierge doctor serves as a family doctor for many concierge patients and allows families the comfort of knowing that medical advice is only a phone call away. For busy executives, the concierge doctor allows for these professionals to receive medical care at a time and place that is convenient. In some practices, the executive concierge model includes features such as executive physicals and the option of having a doctor come directly to the office during the workweek in order to maximize time.

At the upper echelon of concierge medicine are practices, like EliteHealth, which integrate the traditional concierge model and match it with an advanced level of diagnostic care and true concierge services.

In the case of Miami, FL based EliteHealth, members enjoy the benefit of having access to on-site laboratories and the best diagnostic equipment available in medicine today, including the latest in MRI, CAT Scanning and Ultrasound technology. The ability to make most diagnoses in a single visit saves concierge patients the time of having to return to the office for a follow-up visit. This, in complement with a dedicated Patient Care Concierge and the ability to network and consult online through a patient portal sets the EliteHealth model above most other concierge practices found nationwide.

While the amenities may vary from practice to practice, the common thread found in concierge medicine is a commitment to delivering the highest level of healthcare to member patients. While the level of customization may vary, the commitment does not. In a climate where the nation's healthcare system is failing a great percentage of the population, the concierge medicine model has emerged as a way for people to have a direct relationship with their physician in order to ensure their healthcare needs are met. For doctors who are constantly under the pressure of seeing more and more patients in order to recuperate money lost to diminishing reimbursements (from insurance companies), concierge medicine has allowed them to get back to what they love - practicing medicine.

Colon Cancer Case Proves Medical Malpractice

Did you know that, according to the stats, medical malpractice is considered the 3-rd leading cause of death in the USA with only cancer ranking higher? According to the the Journal of the American Medical Association, every year during the past decade the average of 250,000 people died across the nation due to medical malpractice.

In its own turn, among the five diseases most frequently associated with the medical malpractice, the colon cancer also occupies the 3-rd place, preceded by breast cancer and lung cancer, and followed by heart attack, and appendicitis. The late or wrong diagnosis means delay in starting medication or surgery to result in a poor cure outcome, and often premature death.

In case of filing compensation lawsuit victims or their heirs may count on being compensated damages associated with extra pain and frustration, as well as have hospital and medications bills re-imboursed, or get the compensation for deterioration of victim's quality of life in general.

The recent often cited lawsuit filed by George Westhouse against St. Lucia's Hospital in Baltimore Metro area is very eloquent.

The plaintiff accused the defendant claiming that the clinic was negligent and commited professional malpractice through failing to inform the patient about the need to perform colon cancer screening as it is required past the age of 50. G. Westhouse also claimed that the defendant failed to address certain evident symptoms of cancer, such as low back pain and the ubrupt loss of normal weight by patient.

The defendant didn't admit the clinic's staff was negligent, claiming nothing they did or failed to do could have caused or have accelerated the patient's death. The defendant further claimed colorectal cancer screening also was discussed with the plaintiff's decedent, but the decedent just refused to undergo colonoscopy, though not in written form. Ultimately the case was settled prior to copurt trial within the maximum policy limits of $US 1,350,000.

German boy survives the strike of meteorite



14-year-old hit by 30,000 mph space meteorite


A schoolboy has survived a direct hit by a meteorite after it fell to earth at 30,000mph.

Gerrit Blank, 14, was on his way to school when he saw "ball of light" heading straight towards him from the sky.

A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.

The teenager survived the strike, the chances of which are just 1 in a million - but with a nasty three-inch long scar on his hand.

He said: "At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand.

"Then a split second after that there was an enormous bang like a crash of thunder."

"The noise that came after the flash of light was so loud that my ears were ringing for hours afterwards.

"When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still going fast enough to bury itself into the road," he explained.


Scientists are now studying the pea-sized meteorite which crashed to Earth in Essen, Germany.

"I am really keen on science and my teachers discovered that the fragment is really magnetic," said Gerrit.

Chemical tests on the rock have proved it had fallen from space.

Ansgar Kortem, director of Germany's Walter Hohmann Observatory, said: "It's a real meteorite, therefore it is very valuable to collectors and scientists.

"Most don't actually make it to ground level because they evaporate in the atmosphere. Of those that do get through, about six out of every seven of them land in water," he added.

The only other known example of a human being surviving a meteor strike happened in Alabama, USA, in November 1954 when a grapefruit-sized fragment crashed through the roof of a house, bounced off furniture and landed on a sleeping woman.

Illinois State University Violates Admission Rules

The Governor of Illinois created an independent state commission, consisting of 7 members, that will investigate questionable practices of admitting new students. The commission will, probably, also probe whether any of the students that were admitted on recommendation sooner than thanks to them passing successfully the entrance tests got any legislative scholarships.

The allegations that the University of Illinois had been admitting students based on their family ties began soon after the Chicago Tribune made statement it is going to going to bring the case to court for its refusal to produce the tests with the scores and grades of the students. The Tribune didn't tell the names, anyway it mentioned a relative of Antoin Rezko that was convicted in 2008 on corruption charges. Currently Antoin ("Tony") Rezko is in prison. The relative is said to have been admitted through the intervention of the former governor Rod Blagojevich, who was also charged with federal corruption.

There's much rumour about the so-called clout list or "category 1" list, whose existence was admitted by the University of Illinois President B. Joseph White. According to the News-Gazette, the House Speaker Michael Madigan knew about the clout list, and even personally referred over 40 persons there. Madigan was cited as saying this list existed merely as a convenience reference list. :)

The state panel, consisting of 7 persons, headed by the former federal judge and Abner Mikva, has 60 days to investigate alleged admission malpractices by the Illinois University.
