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?

Purple Rain Soundtrack with Prince Songs chosen as Greatest of All Time


Vanity Fair magazine has dubbed the Purple Rain Soundtrack as the greatest soundtrack of all time. The editors explained that the Purple Rain Soundtrack has a combination of sounds that defined the 80’s although they had opposite views when it came to acting performances in the Purple Rain movie. This soundtrack tops a list of 50 selected by Vanity Fair editors to be included in a special publication titled "Movies Rock". It will feature the stars, directors and musicians who were a part of these movies. The publication is also scheduled to be released in conjunction with a TV special that is also titled “Movies Rock”. The TV special will air on CBS in December of this year.

What is your greatest soundtrack of all time?

Musical Intercourse for Everyone

There is a new social networking website in town, unlike many others that cater to a broad range of interests. IndieMV - Musical Intercourse has launched and many music fans should be very excited about this new social networking website. It is focused on independent music and brings together musicians, bands and regular people who enjoy good tunes. With the dozens of social networking destinations and music related websites online, it can be easy to get lost in a whirlwind of junk. Some of these websites have become redundant. That is due to the fact that most of them are just imitating other sites and marketing themselves as a gathering place for anyone and everyone.

It can be very difficult to gain exposure within these types of platforms. Even on the most popular websites, independent bands and musicians are competing with mainstream artists who are backed by major record labels. How can an independent musician find an audience when there are Justin Timberlake banners all over the website? That is where this social networking website comes in. Musicians can upload their own videos and list date for upcoming shows. Music lovers can also use the website to upload their videos, responding to another post or a concert that they recently attended.

Users of IndieMV - Musical Intercourse can even customize their interests and preferences, making it a more personalized experience. Users can also share photos, access interviews and more. This online destination also holds contests and provides opportunities for independent musicians to gain even more exposure through major concerts that the website presents. Musicians also have a chance to be featured on the homepage where they can gain more exposure and an even wider fan base. If you are an independent music artists, there are also opportunities to be interviewed by the site's own VJs, share on downloads and traffic and partner on other projects. If you are a fan of indie music, this website features exciting sliders that let you control what you find on the site. Therefore, rock music lovers who enjoy country sometimes but dislike pop music can bypass the bubblegum stuff altogether. It would be corny to categorize IndieMV - Musical Intercourse merely as a Social Networking Website.

It is actually a fun Music Experience and offers so much more than other places where musicians and their fans tend to be buried among other unrelated industries and community members. This is where you can find fresh music from talented artists and also find a place to hangout and find news about upcoming concerts in or near your town. If you are a music fan or musician, start building your profile now to be part of the evolving IndieMV scene!
