• Bill Cosby Fighting to Keep Court Records of 2005 Sexual Assault Case Sealed

    It looks like Bill Cosby is willing to say just about anything in an attempt to protect himself from any more embarrassment. Earlier this week the fallen funny man was in court with his attorney trying to keep the details of a sexual assault case that he settled back in 2005, from being revealed to the public. Cosby told the court that he is not a public figure and that there would be no interest in what these sealed documents might contain. Instead, if released they would inevitably cause embarrassment. Ironically, it's actually the Associated Press that is trying to get motions from this lawsuit unsealed in order to bolster the claims by a multitude of women that paint Cosby as a chronic sexual predator.

  • Yorkville Clinic Where Joan Rivers Suffered Cardiac Arrest Losing Federal 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.
