Doctor who Performed Throat procedure on Joan Rivers Sacked

And the drama unfolds.

TMZ

just broke the news that the doctor who performed the endoscopy on late legendary comedian Joan Rivers at Yorkville Endoscopy, NY, has been fired by the clinic’s board.

Dr. Lawrence Cohen stepped down after the board asked him to do so – however, the board isn’t directly blaming him for Joan’s death.A rep for the clinic confirmed he was ousted from his position as medical director. According to our sources … the board’s issue with Cohen is that he allowed Joan’s doc to step in and perform an unauthorized procedure. Reportedly, that procedure was a biopsy … and Joan went into respiratory and cardiac arrest while it was being done. Cohen is a world renowned gastroenterologist … and also co-owner of Yorkville. He’s been on administrative leave since Joan’s procedure on August 28.

Parents Release Photo of Daughter Born at 24-week-old Abortion Limit

A grieving mum has released this heartbreaking photograph of her premature daughter who was delivered at the 24-week abortion limit, saying ‘She’s not a foetus, she’s a fully-formed human being’

Born just 24 weeks (6 months) into her mother’s pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive. This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive.Born just 24 weeks (6 months) into her mother’s pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive. This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive.

Service

Advisor Emily Caines, 25 from Yeovil, Somerset and husband security guard Alastair Caines, 29,  released the photograph in a bid to open up the debate about abortion.

The current law allows babies to be terminated up to 24 weeks gestation, the same as Adelaide when she was born.

She said:

“Our picture shows Adelaide was not a feotus she was a fully formed human being and to think that a baby like her could be legally terminated  on grounds of a lifestyle choice is to me is horrifying. Medical grounds is a different matter. Our hospital was amazing and did all they could but Adelaide suffered complications which made it impossible for her to survive but many babies born at 24 weeks do live.

“That makes a mockery of the 24 week legal limit.”

Tragically Mrs Caines had already lost her first baby daughter Isabelle at 23 weeks after going into premature labour in September 2011. She died during delivery.

It was in the agonising weeks after her loss that she fell in love with close friend Alastair who helped her through her grief.

He later proposed and suggested that they marry on the first anniversary of Isabelle’s birth and death to help turn the saddest of days into a happy one.

Soon after marrying the couple began trying a baby together but after struggling to conceive doctors found scar tissue blocking Mrs Caine’s fallopian tubes

They were told their only chance was IVF and fell pregnant after their first round.

At 20 weeks they learned they were expecting a girl and were relieved to pass the 24 week stage, when medics are legally obliged to help save the life of a premature baby.

Mrs Caines said: “Only then did I buy her a baby grow and Alistair bought her a pink cuddly bunny.”
But just three days later she started to bleed and was rushed to Southmead Hospital in Bristol which has a specialist premature baby unit.

Mrs Caines was rushed into theatre for an emergency section on December 27 2013 and her husband was at her side when their tiny daughter was lifted out by medics and let out a cry.

That’s when a doctor took the only picture of their daughter alive at the birth on the couple’s

camera

.
Mrs Caines said: “That cry filled us with so much hope. Her little fists were waving and I could see the doctors working on her.”

But after an hour they told the couple that it was proving impossible to get a line into their daughter’s lungs to help her breathe.

They agreed the kindest thing was to let her go.

Mrs Caines said: “Thinking of my daughters together was the only thing that got me through arranging another funeral.
“We were utterly heartbroken again.”

Five months later they started another round of IVF and Mrs Caines is now 20 weeks pregnant with what she calls her ‘rainbow baby.’
She hopes that following a stitch in her cervix the pregnancy will progress normally. Her son is due in January 2015.
She said: “The theory of the rainbow baby is that something beautiful will follow the devastation caused by the storm.I hope sharing our story gives hope to others and helps other parents who have suffered a loss.”

The couple are now keen to break down the taboos surrounding baby loss and neonatal death.

Amaechi’s Cousin Was Cut To Death With Machete

A cousin of governor Chibuike Amaechi, Sabinus Ordu, has been murdered in his home town, Ubima, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State, according to the Rivers Police Command.

The State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Ibim Semenitari, who confirmed the incident to Premium Times in Port Harcourt on Friday, said Mr. Ordu was Amaechi’s uncle. However, he is a senior cousin because they share same grandfather.

According to Mrs. Semenitari, the mutilated body of Mr. Ordu, the vice principal of the Community Secondary School, ALUU, also in the local government, was found on Monday night.

On September 8, the deceased had gone to inspect his trap in the bush during which his assailant cut him with machete to death. It could not be ascertained immediately if the killing was politically motivated.

“Late Mr. Sabinus Ordu, who is an uncle (senior cousin) to Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, returned home in the afternoon from CSS, ALUU, where he is the vice principal and told the boy staying with him that he was going into the bush to check his traps.”

“He then mounted his motorcycle and left for the bush but did not return until it was night. At about 8.00p.m, the boy raised an alarm which attracted the villagers. A search party was sent to look for him,” Mrs. Semenitari said.

Mrs. Semenitari added that on the way into the bush the search party saw the victim’s motorcycle by the bush path, and went into the bush where they found his lifeless body, mutilated with several machete cuts.

The commissioner said the matter has been reported to the Elele Police Division and that Mr. Ordu remains have been deposited in a private mortuary.“The matter has been reported to the Police at Elele while the body has been deposited at the morgue.”

“It is worrisome because Ordu was a peace loving man, a school principal and the entire Amaechi’s family has been thrown into deep mourning,’’ she said.

Synagogue Church Building Collapse Claims 15 Lives In Lagos

Many people feared dead, injured, while dozens of others remain trapped following the collapse of a building belonging to the Synagogue Church, Ikotun in Lagos.

[caption id="attachment_1441" align="aligncenter" width="558"] Synagogue-Church-Collapse in Lagos: Ambulance rushes victims to a hospital. Photo: ‏@_OOF_[/caption]

The initial information is also confirmed by individuals on social media. About 15 people feared dead. However, the official figure has not been announced.

The official page of SCOAN founder, Prophet T.B.Joshua, issued a brief comment about 6 hours after the tragedy. The statement did not say anything about deaths, mentioned only “few people” who had been rescued.

The six-storey building collapsed due to yet-to-be identified reasons. This building serves as a guest house for people travelling from far and for foreign visitors of the Synagogue Church, however, it has not been fully completed yet.

The collapse occurred after 12 in the afternoon. The total number of people present at the building at the time of the tragedy is controversial, ranging from 70 to 200. The possible victims include foreign believers, church members, canteen and construction workers.

[caption id="attachment_1443" align="aligncenter" width="560"] Search and rescue operation at a section of the Synagogue Church, Ikotun area of Lagos. Photo: TheHerald[/caption]

At least 7 ambulances have arrived the scene almost immediately. Passers-by and drivers were reportedly helping to evacuate the victims to hospitals.

A military helicopter was seen hovering above the area shortly after the collapse. Strong police presence reported by multiple eyewitnesses as well.

According to SaharaReproters, Church security staff behaved in an aggressive way, attacked reporters of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and broke their camera. Work of the officials of the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has been also disrupted. One of the possible reasons is that the administration of the Church might have tried to cover up the real cause of the collapse and its scale.

This development caused pandemonium in the area and heavy traffic for those who were heading to Ikotun from Ejigbo, Mushin and related directions.
