The Medical Board of California is suing the fertility doctor who treated infamous “Octomom” Nadya Suleman. Suleman gained national attention after receiving fertility treatments which eventually made her pregnant and give birth to octuplets when she already had six children and no job.
Now, the Board is accusing Dr. Michael Kamrava of medical malpractice in two other instances. In the first instance, the Board is accusing Dr. Kamrava of implanting seven embryos in a 48-year old woman, putting her at high risk for serious birth complications. The woman became pregnant with quadruplets, lost one fetus, and gave birth to three babies via c-section delivery. One of the babies suffers from serious developmental delays. Furthermore, the Board alleges that Kamrava did not suggest the woman have a mental health evaluation or counseling before his treatments, which they believe to be an extreme departure from standard professional medical practice.
In the second instance, the Board accuses Kamrava of ignoring suspicions of the presence of ovarian cysts after looking over a patient’s cytology results. When the woman did not become pregnant, she sought out a second opinion only to find that she had stage three ovarian cancer.

Kellogg's company, under advisement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, issued a voluntary recall of four of their cereal products on June 29, 2010.
The products being taken off store shelves are Kellogg's Froot Loops, Honey Smacks, Corn Pops, and Apple Jacks. Kellogg's became concerned after reports that the products had an uncharacteristic smell and flavor coming from the liner of the packaging. While Kellogg's believes any risk associated with these products is very small, they advise people who have purchased a product before June 29th to refrain from eating it.
Foster's Food Fair IGA stated, "Until further correspondence from the manufacturer on this affected product, moving forward, it will not be available".

A 74-year old Austin resident was hospitalized after his motorcycle was struck by a police vehicle at the intersection of Lamplight Village and Magazine Street. Eyewitnesses say that the officer, a 10-year veteran of the APD, was not paying attention to the road and accidentally glided through the intersection despite the fact that he thought the vehicle was idling. It is believed that the officer was paying attention to the vehicle's onboard communications systems and did not notice that the vehicle was in motion. Although the force of impact was only around 10 miles per hour, the driver of the motorcycle sustained injuries that were serious enough to require hospitalization for several days.
If you have been hurt due to the negligent actions of another person, you may be eligible to take legal action to recover damages including pain, suffering, and medical expenses.
