Thank you for reading.

This site will soon be closing. I may move back to  http://stebbijo.blogspot.com/ 

But, I won't be posting anytime soon.

Goodbye.

The above video is a hoot and speaks volumes concerning the dark age mindset of many of our Idaho leaders. They have their heads in the sand. I think I have some very legitimate stuff on my blog that has not been picked up by the so called "legitimate media" for some reason.

 More here

First you start here.

n my case, I have tried to open the lines of communication with Kootenai Medical Center and they pretty much imply it is an acceptable standard of care to use their doctors and their name all over the public record along with disclosed fraudulent medical records. It's okay. There is no due process required.

This has been an extremely long arduous journey for me and it's not over yet, but I am going to make public my privacy complaint because you deserve to know.  Folks can hardly believe this because of the players and that is the problem. I was left out to dry because I am not Mayor Bloem, I am not Mike Kennedy let alone Patty Duke, or Duane Hagadone, I am basically just your everyday joe who struggles paycheck to paycheck to survive. But, folks it took BIG MONEY to do this to me and invade my medical privacy like they did and get away with it. Getting back into court to fix the botch job is nearly impossible if not impossible to fix. I filed a privacy complaint once before, but the courts are not "covered entities" - you cannot include them, thus I try it again.

When something like this happens, you are defamed and humiliated. It is difficult to drum up the self esteem to come forward. Well, folks I don't care anymore. People like Jonelle Timlin-Simpson Ph.D. do not deserve to practice. She does needs assessments for the courts in custody issues and from what I understand she is married to Judge Benjamin Simpson who is over the family courts. Now is that not a conflict or what? One can hardly digest that professionals like this, let alone our own hospital would involve themselves in such deceipt. But they do. - FOR THE MONEY.

 Here is my privacy complaint. Read it and weep. It's all I have really been able to do since it was done to me. And, also know that anything that is documented about you can and will be used against you (doesn't even need to be authorized or validated) in any court battle in the Coeur d'Alene area. Do not expect confidentiality until this complaint is resolved. Some Magnet Hospital.

Next time anyone you know donates their body for science or a healthy body part to be given up to save a life, beware of some of the developing ethical  issues concerning these gifts.

There are compaines who pay for body parts. They are the unknown middlemen and I know it sounds like a science fiction movie but it's true and I wonder how many people never know the truth. I take the time to surf sites that require hours but then I find something like this, it makes it all so worth the effort!

Court:	California Appellate Districts
Topic:	Education Law, Health Law, Injury And Tort Law
Title:	Cohen v. NuVasive, Inc.
Date:	07/09/08
Case Number:	B194078, B196905
Summary:	In actions claiming negligence, fraud, and intentional infliction of emotional distress arising from defendant's purchase of human remains from bodies of plaintiffs' close family members that had been donated to UCLA for medical research and education, dismissal of the complaints pursuant to demurrers is reversed in part as to the negligence claims where: 1) defendant owed plaintiffs a duty of care based primarily on the foreseeability of their emotional injury; 2) the facts alleged in the complaints were sufficient to establish a duty of care and the sustaining of the demurrers to the negligence counts was error. However, the demurrers were properly sustained as to the other counts.

The Cohens in their suit state, "They also allege that UCLA represented to the donors that human bodies and body parts could not legally be sold. They allege that UCLA improperly sold bodies and body parts to other defendants and that the other defendants, including NuVasive, knew or reasonably should have known that the donated remains were not intended for sale or for the uses to which the purchasers put the remains. They allege further that the defendants mistreated and commingled the remains. They allege that the defendants used a middleman as part of a fraudulent scheme to avoid detection. fn. 2 The Cohen plaintiffs allege counts against all defendants for negligence, fraudulent concealment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, {Slip Opn. Page 5} and allege additional counts against Regents of the University of California and Reid. The defendants demurred to the complaint."

There is no such thing as a good science fiction story anymore. It's all real life! Someone should write a novel  anyway and call it the The Body Part Broker.  Just how much is that good eyeball that you have actually worth - even while you are alive?

People in Coeur d'Alene love a good local story to wet their soap opera palates. They just die for attention at any cost raising the ridiculous to a local level of community insanity A few stories lately, come to mind.

1. The spanking of a child at a 4th of July Parade - makes National News even!
2. The alleged secret recording of a conversation over coffee between local activist Mary Souza, and Sgt. Christie Wood, Public Relations for the city cop shop. This episode brings everyone out - including reporters from nearby states wanting the facts! "The million dollar unaswered question goes something like this, "Did you or did you not secretly record a conversation which just happens to be legal in the state of Idaho?" However, the real issue is how Wood is on the college board of trustees and is using her influence to scam us into believeing that our tax dollars are not being used to give officials of the college pay raises, while they in turn raise the tuition in the name of education for the children! This is a real life cop story!
3. Then we have this thing going on where shadow government  - the Lake City Development Corporation has hired a Public Relations consultant to bring us all closer together. For around 35 thousand dollars of taxpayer money, this woman wants us to meet the LCDC half way now. The ball is in our court! Yeah right sweetheart - like we want HALF and more of our money back! Get it? We are tired of paying for awnings and flower baskets - not to mention massive huge buildings that most of us will not be able to afford to buy, play in, or see.
4. One, that I will never forget was the Semen Brownie Boy story. This lasted almost 2 weeks - maybe more. It was a national headliner. I am sorry to admit that I was baited into this story - but I could not help myself. It was another blogger's fault. He knows who he is. The Semen Brownie Boy story is infamous and is a 10.
5. Coeur d'Alene was also famous for the prosecuter's office getting caught with steamy sexy emails and pornography. I was party to that story and covered it at my end here, not to mention real live pornography on the local government internet including the infamous little naked boy in a bowl of cold cheerios.
6. Oh yeah, then one of our local newspapers, The Spokesman-Review got caught with kiddie porn movies and the like on their servers. That has still not made court, probably never will.

I know it's disgusting and lurid but that is what drives the turn of events here. It's the taste that makes some of this hit the national big time. Coeur d'Alene loves the limelight. Pretty soon their own local hospital will be famous for the implied consent/disclosure of unauthorized falsifed medical records into the public record with their name all over it because they cannot get a grip on confidentiality laws or due process not to mention fraud.

YDNTK =You Don't Need To Know.

Remember when I was telling you about research studies and how you might not know if you are in one or not (a few blog posts back)? Sounds unreal - could not possibly be true, could it?  I think I found one for you, and one right here in Coeur d'Alene on some unsuspecting outpatient(s). Click on locations and you will see the research sites. This is research on a drug called bifeprunox. It is an antipsychotic used for schizophrenia.  However, I don't know why it was terminated. Maybe they gained too much weight or they died? Who knows?

The kicker? They have to try it on healthy individuals to make sure it is safe, so you might not know and your doctor might not either. That study is here.  Double blind studies are conducted to make sure there is no bias and the drug company can pass it off - eventually to the public. What may have happened to the 144 healthy subjects vs. the diagnosed outpatient(s) will come out later in published results that you will probably never see unless you order the actual study. No bias there - since the pharmacuetical company sponsored it. Right? Consider yourself a "human subject" aka "guinea pig" once you are under the care of a physician. Check your insurance, it might be part of the policy as well. Personally, I think it is an unwarranted invasion of privacy but you have no choice because it is legal. If they cannot reasonably expect to get your consent then the reason (like safety) supercedes your right to know. I believe placebo studies are unethical. Why not just be up front? It works or it doesn't work, why test it against something you know does not? Just crazy. But then, what you don't know, won't hurt you, right? You just never know, maybe that new drug will relieve the pain in your hip? Try this sample, now!

Besides, what everyday person would concern themselves with such bunk? ME! I take charge of my health care, and I will be damned if I get stuck taking some freakish antipyschotic and not know it.

If you are interested in other studies, there are lots of them and some of them are good ones. This link provides you with over 700 studies being conducted in Idaho. 

What is the most UNpatriotic thing an area can do on the 4th of July? Take your rights away! Spokane has banned fireworks and threatens you with a 500+ plus dollar fine if you get caught with them in your possession! The news preaches this like a biblical serman. Foget that sparkler that might light up your grandchild's eye! No smuggling any of those goods from Idaho to Airway Heights, Washington. Same thing goes for cigarettes. How dare you buy a carton in Coeur d'Alene or Worley then go over the border to Washington. 

What's going on - is this not America or are we all mini countries now, making laws to raise revenue? Where is the border checkpoint? It's ridiculous. More laws that are meant to put the fear of God in is? It's all akin to the FBI warning on the movie/video CD you rent. Then of all things I heard WalMart was selling fireworks and guess where? SPOKANE!

Happy Birthday America - and remember what this day is really about and be safe!
