LA Times columnist Steve Lopez teased us Monday about his adventure of getting recommendation approved for medical marijuana by a gynecologist and today his experience was told in full. An excerpt: I stood to show him where my back hurts. He asked me to bend down, and I demonstrated that I couldn't touch my toes, but I don't think he could see that. He hadn't moved from his seat.

The July search warrant affidavit that officials used to raid the Houston offices of Michael Jackson's personal doctor was unsealed today, offering up what has been speculated for weeks: "lethal levels" of anesthetic propofol killed the pop star.

Seeing a pattern here? Fertility doctor Michael Kamrava apparently has another patient--this time a 49-year-old woman five months into her pregnancy--who is at USC Medical Center with her unborn quadruplets. "Several sources told The Times that Dr. Michael Kamrava transferred at least seven embryos made from younger donor eggs," the LA Times found.

During her Today Show interview aired this morning, Nadya Suleman revealed that she used Dr. Michael Kamrava's West Coast IVF Clinic for all of her pregnancies. The Beverly Hills clinic, whose website boasts they are "leading innovators" in "bringing together high technology, low cost, and effective treatment of infertility," offers multiple financing options for women seeking help in having babies. Kamrava's bio indicates he has been working in the field of infertility for over 25 years. Last week, the Medical Board of California said they were investigating the then-unnamed doctor who treated Suleman to see if the standard of care was violated; it is not common practice to implant 6 embryos in a woman as young as the 33-year-old Suleman.
