Plastic Surgery Bill
A Bill that would require all patients hoping to undergo elective cosmetic treatment to have a mandatory physical and pass it prior to the surgery has recently been reviewed and passed by the California state senate on Monday. The measure has been put in place after rapper Kanye West's mother Donda West died of post-plastic surgery complications.
The Press Enterprise in Sacramento reported on the Bill saying, "Carter said the legislation was aimed at "fly-by-night" doctors out to make a quick buck who do not adequately screen their patients for pre-existing health problems. The legislation is backed by the 17-member California Medical Board. All but two members of the medical panel are gubernatorial appointees."
Plastic surgeons and lawmakers hope this will alleviate and decrease chances of post-op problems. Some say had Donda West been properly examined doctors would have realized she had heart complications.
