Childhood Cancer Survivors: A U.S. study found that childhood cancer survivors are 25% more likely to remain unmarried, compared to adult cancer survivors and the general population.

“Many childhood cancer survivors still struggle to fully participate in our society because of the lasting cognitive and physical effects of their past cancer therapy,” lead researcher Dr. Nina S. Kadan-Lottick,

“Our study pinpointed what aspects of the survivor experience likely contribute to altered marriage patterns: short stature, poor physical functioning and cognitive problems. These conditions are known to be associated with certain chemotherapy and radiation exposures.”

Dr. Conrad Murray is facing arrest and losing medical license for something that has nothing to do with the Michael Jackson case. Dr. Murray is wanted for unpaid $13,000 worth of child support for his 10-year-old son. He has 10 days to appear at court.

“At that time, we’ll send our investigators out to locate and arrest Dr. Murray,” said Clark County District Attorney David Roger.

Dr. Ralph Kennaugh and partner in crime, Benjamin Amadio, are suspects in the Pebble Beach art heist, and claimed to be the victims from the start. They are not able to provide proof of purchase for immensely expensive museum collectibles, such as Rembrandt, Miro, Jackson Pollack and Van Gogh, all worth $27 million. Although Amadio and Kennaugh claim to have proof by involving New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders players, the story is not adding up for the officials.

“Mr. Amadio is lying,” said Monterey Sherrif spokesman Commander Mike Richards.

“All the information we’ve received is pointing us to Mr. Amadio and Kennaugh running a scam,” Richards said. “We’ve conducted a very thorough and complete investigation. They’ve gone out of their way to hinder the investigation.”

Dr. Jennifer Lickteig started out as a family practitioner by day, then 2 boys and twin girls later supplementing her salary while on maternity leave resulted in a second career. Jennifer became a “Gold PowerSeller” on Ebay selling clothing and making almost double what she made practicing medicine. With the Health care reform threatening to tighten the purse strings, Dr. Lickteig feels confident facing her financial future.

“I think it’s really important. You look at the recession and people losing their job; if you have something to fall back on, it’s your insurance.”

“It’s just kind of this thrill,” said Dr. Jennifer Lickteig. “I think it’s the thrill of having built up this business and just done it myself. I don’t have to get an MBA. I don’t have to have a storefront.”

Dr. Kevorkian Compares Michael Jackson’s Death to Suicide

Michael Jackson and Dr. Kevorkian (nydailynews.com)

Dr. Kevorkian, aka Dr. Death, spoke out this week, putting the blame on Michael Jackson for his own death.  He said it’s not the doing of other doctors that surrounded him in his last days, but the overdose of lethal medication that ultimately killed the King of Pop.

“The patient got what he wanted. “He is the one who said yes or no to take a drug.”

Dr. Kevorkian is actually siding with the central figure of the ongoing investigation, Dr. Conrad Murray.  Although the coroner deemed the case a homicide, Dr. Murray has not been charged with the crime as of yet.

As NY Daily News reports: “Murray admits he gave Jackson the sedative Ativan and the surgery-strength anesthetic propofol to help him sleep, but they were in low dosages over a 10-hour period, with monitoring, his lawyer said.”

Dr. Kevorkian will be played by Al Pacino in the upcoming HBO biopic called “You don’t know Jack.”  Without a bit of remorse, Dr. Kevorkian commented on his dark past:

“Everyone I helped welcomed death.”

Do you agree with Dr. Kevorkian, that Michael Jackson is to blame for his own death?

Dr. Susan Etok Denies Supplying Michael Jackson with Drugs

Each day it seems more and more doctors come in to question within the ongoing Michael Jackson investigation.  Police have interviewed about 35 people, out of which most are doctors under suspicion of supplying Michael Jackson prescription medication that ultimately killed him.

Due to the closed nature of the police investigation, everyone is dying to know who, when, where and what is responsible for the death of one of the biggest music influences of our lifetime.  Entertainment Television correspondent, Diane Dimond was able to get a few words with Dr. Susan Etok, also questioned by police in her involvement.

Dr. Susan Etok has revealed that Michael Jackson begged her to be his “pipeline to drugs during his London tour.” To which she clearly refused his numerous requests for prescriptions of Demerol, at his secretly arranged meeting location at the top of one of London’s hotels.

“I basically told the police what I knew, who I thought was involved and what I thought happened to Michael.”

“No, we didn’t talk about any particular charges because at this stage it’s about building the bigger picture,” says Etok. “To get an idea of Michael’s addiction, his patterns of behavior, the different doctors that may or may not have enabled his drug addiction. They were most interested in the doctors and the doctors I had seen around Michael — times when I’ve been over here with Michael, and abroad in the U.K. and other countries.”

As has been reported, the doctor that is under closest scrutiny is the last one to see Jackson alive, Dr. Conrad Murray.  Dr. Susan Etok explained that she had no interaction with him.  Dr. Arnold Klein, has admitted to giving Jackson Demerol and Dr. Allen Metzger was “reprimanded in 2000 by a medical board for fraudulent medical practice based on writing prescriptions.”

Dr. Conrad Murray, at the center of attention for his involvement in the Michael Jackson case, partied late into the hours in a Trinidad & Tobago resort, while promoting his new energy drink investment, Pit Bull.

Under intense scrutiny, Dr. Murray, a cardiology specialist, chose the worst time to promote a health hazard product that causes anxiety, sleep disorders and heart palpitations.   Not to mention, attracting attention to himself by partying and drinking with 20 year old models.

“There were about ten models and promotions girls who’d been recruited in Las Vegas. He had a ball with them. He was up into the early hours drinking and having fun. He loved posing bare-chested with the girls.”  Said one of the promotional models, Maggie Goldstein.  “I recognized him straight away when pictures appeared of Michael Jackson’s doctor.”

Dr. Conrad Murray Under Review

Irving
Dr. Conrad Murray is under ongoing investigation by LAPD detectives but no evidence of any wrongdoing has surfaced thus far. Our visitors wrote over 120 vocal reviews on Dr. Conrad Murray. Click here to read all the reviews on Dr. Conrad Murray and join the discussion at Vitals.com.
Here are some of the controversial reviews on Dr. Murray:
“Dr. Murray, this MJ situation was bound to happen to some doctor, Im sorry it was you. I hear you are a good doctor. If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Hang in there, people will forget.”
“Time for law enforcement and legislators to crack down on physicians who easily/willingly write scripts for the rich and famous on request. Chopra and probably other legitimate doctors wouldn’t do it, so MJ found Murray, who is in such desperate financial straits that he prescribe all the drugs MJ wanted. Pity. The world has lost a great talent.”
“Fantastic doctor to the stars. Great Pop Star Killer. If you live in Hollywood, have enough money, are influential, you can obtain any and all narcotics you wish from this physician. Intravenous - No Problem. Pills - No Problem. He is the man. Talk about legal, state certified drug pushing…. I luv this guy. Oh Yeah - I forgot to mention; Credentials: Killed Michael Jackson. R.I.P.”
“Why are you guys so cruel? Why are you making assumptions? None of us KNOW what happened in the Jackson residence!!! No one but Michael partially, Dr. Murray and God! So stop being so judgmental about this man!!!! He has recieved great, almost perfect ratings prior to this incident and you guys have flooded this site with poor ratings based on the media who has a history of being biased!!! Calm down people, just calm down and wait for the truth to come out. Also, put yourself in his shoes! Providing medical care is not an exact science!!! There is no room for negligence and incomptence but he is only human like all of us!”
“When EMTs arrived at Michael Jackson’s home yesterday, the medics wanted to pronounce him dead on the scene — but Michael’s personal doctor refused to let them “call it” — this according to sources close to the situation.When EMTs arrived there was evidence someone had been performing CPR on Michael for “quite some time.” There was evidence of Lidocaine — an old-school drug that can be used to treat disturbances in the heart’s rhythm. Medics took over performing CPR but determined Jackson was lifeless — and wanted to call the coroner to pick up the body.We’re told Jackson was flat-lined when EMTs arrived. But our sources say M.J.’s doc demanded EMTs continue performing CPR anyway, and demanded that they take Michael to the hospital. Once they arrived at UCLA, we’re told Jackson’s doc continued to personally administer CPR — even though it was clear Jackson was already gone.”
