“Stars” get unbelievably bad medical care (in general).

They search and search until they find a doctor who will do what he is told, like the rest of their posse.

It’s actually worse than that. THey hunt for doctors, many times not even board certified, to do procedures...eg botox and face lifts, on the cheap.

I’m sure it was planned ahead of time, ie, Joan didn’t want to spend he money and brought in her specialist for just the reason, in case she needed a biopsy.

I’m wondering if they even had oxygen there or IVs. Or instruments to do a trach, although you wouldn’t need one, but I think too, this information is being leaked by the clinic to put blame on the outsider. This is ludicrous as they’re all complicit.

Sad, sad, sad....

Not all, only those who are demanding of there way regardless of consequences. Elvis and M. Jackson were 2 such individuals. Look what it got them. DEAD.

My step niece is married to the Dr from Love Boat, Bernie Koppel, and she uses only the best qualified doctors. She even flew her dad out to Tarzana where they live to have his shoulder replaced by a renown sports surgeon who specializes in it. Did the same when he had his knee replaced.

She lives on the same street as Chuck Norris and he is a fitness buff besides his other roles in life.

Even common people make the same mistake with dr’s, don’t let those rating places fool you, any one can put it up and make claims. I canned our last PCP as a IDIOT. He OD my husband on Crestor, from which he’d of died if I’d not caught the signs of it fast, and had dirty specimen cups so pee test came back needing a antibiotic. Caused a very serious bladder issue for me. Besides he kept ordering the same antibiotics I was allergic to, and told him numerous times I was. Which is why he is NOW the ex internist.

Then my episode with the ENT for Inner Ear Perfusion was medical malpractice plain flat and simple, I can’t prove a thing, they allow no representative back with the patient. And his was the biggest name in Memphis Ear specialist with it’s own stand alone surgery with a motel chain next to it for those who needed more serious surgeries. He had no anthologist, just guess at the Versed he needs for the 6-8 min 3 day procedure. He guessed wrong. I came up off the OR table with the first laser hole, he had me held down to finish with out more Versed. It went down hill from there. He damaged Cervical discs that were already in a state of degeneration. Now I wear twin hearing aids as the procedure killed half my low freq sounds. And have a new ENT.

BTW I see the Gastro to day. Maybe he will have answers to Colitis Ileus I’ve suddenly developed. Best Gastro in Memphis.

You’re point is so succinct and well-made. I remember the horrible neglect suffered by Howard Hughes because of his fame and billionaire status. His doctors were reduced to servile flunkies.
