Miami rapper and former corrections officer, Rick Ross, fell ill today in a series of events that are very unusual. While on a private plane from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Memphis, Tennessee in America, for a concert, Ross had a seizure and fell unconscious. The plane was diverted, sent back to Ft. Lauderdale, where paramedics feverishly worked to revive him. He was transported to a Florida hospital and released shortly after.
Ross then boarded another aircraft en route to Tennessee for his show and experienced a second seizure, which led to that plane being diverted as well, this time to Birmingham, Alabama. He was transported to another hospital, where he currently rests. His condition is currently unknown. Considering many seizure patients bite their tongues, as a matter of practicality, he should not have been rushing to do the concert so soon.
Epilepsy is not something to play with. Ross needs to be on agreeable anti-epileptic medication immediately. I state agreeable, as I have seen patients on pharmaceutical drugs such as Lamictal do well, while others on Tegretol see their white blood cell count decimated. It must be monitored.
Ross must consistently take anti-seizure medication, as missed dosages can facilitate what is known as a "grand mal" seizure, which can turn deadly. Many people with epilepsy lead normal and productive lives, but they must take their medicine to control the electrical activity in the brain creating the seizures. There's no shame in taking the medicine.
Ambulance called to the airport for Rick Ross
Over the past few years, doctors have made strides in seizure surgeries, using various techniques to limit or eliminate them altogether. However, as with all surgery, there exists inherent risks that may prove more dangerous than it is worth, to address the issue in a method other than medication.
Michael Amir Williams, of the Nation of Islam (c'mon now, look at that conk and wave he is sporting on his head), the assistant to the late pop star, Michael Jackson, has publicly stated during the involuntary manslaughter trial of the singer's physician, Conrad Murray, the doctor frantically called him, demanding he contact him as soon as possible, rather than calling 911 (U.S. emergency services) when the entertainer became unresponsive.
He did not ask Williams to call 911 either. None of this looks professional or humane, regarding Murray calling assistants in Los Angeles and Texas, to aide in a cover-up, rather than contact the paramedics first, for Jackson to be rushed to the hospital at once. The accepted medical practice is to immediately call 911, while working on the patient. This was not done in Jackson's case and suspiciously so.
Had Murray called emergency services right away, who are on call 24 hours a day, they would have rushed over immediately and Jackson would have lived (possibly to be 100-years old, had this excessive medicating not taken place). Hospitals have medicine and equipment that can induce vomiting, in addition to sodium/water flushes that can dilute the acidity or toxicity of substances in the blood, which in tandem with oxygen and emergency cardiac treatments, would have counteracted the negative effects of the excessive doses of pharmaceutical meds Murray pumped into Jackson, killing him. Every doctor knows that each minute is critical to life and death during a medical emergency, yet Murray, who has been a physician for many years, waited a long time before calling the paramedics. That is very suspect.
You have to bear in mind, sadly and regrettably, when people commit suicide, they sometimes opt for taking an excessive amount of pills within the space of a few seconds or minutes. That is common knowledge. Therefore, how could a trained physician not know the constant stream of pills and liquid pharmaceutical drugs he administered to Jackson within minutes of each other, would not kill him. That was a given. Once again, Murray's behavior in this matter is very suspect.
"Defense: Jackson Gave Himself Fatal Dose of Drug"
Another strange item in the case that is worth mentioning is, large sums of cash Jackson kept in the home went missing (potentially $2,000,000). There should also be an investigation into who erased the home's security tapes, regarding the time period in which Jackson died.
You mean to tell me, a $50,000,000 mansion in Bel Air, California, with top security, where the common practice is tapes are saved for an acceptable amount of time, mysteriously and instantly gets wiped clean, within minutes of the most famous entertainer in the world dying. That is the definition of sinister and it is very puzzling why this fact is not playing a greater role in the case.
For this to have happened is a load of rubbish that reveals criminal intent, which should not go legally unchallenged. Technically, it could be referred to as obstruction of justice. Not enough attention is being paid to this fact in the case. If Jackson died from overdosing himself as the defense claims, why can't we see the security tapes of who went in and out of the property on the day of his death and with what in their possession, at the time of the incident.
In short, something was on the security tapes someone doesn't want anyone to see. This entire thing is a massive whitewash and as a result, the public may not know the truth during this trial. More than one person knows what happened to this man and it is being covered up. Dr. Murray needs to come clean and give over his co-conspirators, as he did not do all of this by himself.
