• Kim Kardashian's Family, Friends Have Abandoned Her Because of Ungratefulness

    Kim Kardashian appears to have the life she has always wanted. She has buckets of cash, a powerful husband and a baby who will help to keep him on the hook. But in all of Kardashian's selfish behavior, she seems to have driven a wedge between herself and her family and friends. Sure, Kardashian pops up on the family's reality shows looking totally invested, but sources say that away from the cameras she claims she is responsible for the success of those around her. According to a report by Radar Online, Kardashian has radically changed since getting together with Kanye West, and she has morphed into the kind of person whom none of her former friends want to have to deal with.
  • Clinic Where Joan Rivers Suffered Cardiac Arrest Losing Funding

    The Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic where Joan Rivers suffered complications during a procedure is dealing with another strike against it today, Jan. 12. New York State's Department of Health and Human Services originally launched an investigation against the clinic shortly after Rivers's death in September and found a number of things wrong. The clinic was originally cited for leaving patient records in clear view and for a staff member taking cellphone photos of the comedienne while she was under sedation. Now we are learning that it has lost federal funding because it has yet to clean up its act. Yorkville was also originally found non-compliant in providing proper follow-up care for patients who had been under anesthesia, and it was given time to correct its errors. As it turns out, Yorkville has not met the deadline to clean up its business practices and, because of that, it will officially lose federal funding beginning Jan. 31. As of that date, the clinic can no longer accept Medicare as a form of payment, so any of their current patients who are covered under Medicare need to start shopping for new doctors now. Last week, we learned that Yorkville's former medical director, Dr. Lawrence Cohen, once wrote a paper regarding his belief that having an anesthesiologist on staff for endoscopic procedures is not "cost effective" and basically is unnecessary. Even with the extra hands and eyes on staff, Cohen still could not get Rivers safely through what was considered a routine procedure.
