Donda West Bill Passed

The California Senate passed a bill Wednesday (August 13, 2008) making it mandatory for patients seaking plastic surgery to first have a physical exam. This bill was developed in reponse to the death of Kanye Wests’s mother Donda West, who passed away from a heart condition following plastic surgery.
Donda’s niece, Yolanda Anderson, who’s a California State Assemblywoman worked with Wilmer Amina Carter (D-Rialto) to introduce the bill AB 2968 into legislature.
Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles) told the Times, "Many of us are concerned about the quality of care extended to those who receive elective surgery," the senator told the Times. Source
I think this is a wonderful bill and it should be passed across the country. But California is a great start since many of the country’s cosmetic surgeries occur there. Now let’s tackle New York and Florida and we’re in business.
