NEW YORK -- A 42-year-old Irish woman reportedly died after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Manhattan, N.Y.

Kay Cregan, an apparently healthy mother of two, went into cardiac arrest the morning of March 15, while in the recovery room of a Central Park South doctor's office where she had received a nose job and face lift.

The New York Daily News reported that she was taken to Saint Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, where she was pronounced brain-dead. Her sister, Agnes Kelly of Boston told the News that she was taken off life support on March 17.

The state Health Department was investigating Cregan's death. An initial autopsy was ruled inconclusive.

Kelly identified the doctor who performed the surgery as Dr. Michael Sachs. A lawyer for Sachs, Jay Butterman, said the doctor was not responsible for Cregan's death.

The attorney said it was a terrible tragedy. But it was not attributable to anything that Dr. Sachs or his staff did. It's not clear if the family planned to take legal action.

Last year, Sachs was ordered not to perform any "complex nasal procedures" -- involving more than one treatment -- without the supervision of another physician, according to a document posted on the Web site of the state Board of Medical Conduct.

The order was issued after he was found to have mistreated a patient and failed to keep appropriate records.

The News reported that Sachs is the plastic surgeon with the state's worst malpractice record. The News reported that Sachs has for years been one of the most sued doctors in New York, and that current records show the surgeon's malpractice standing hasn't improved.

During the past decade, Sachs' official physician profile shows he has made 33 malpractice payments during the past decade, more than any other doctor in the state, the News reported.

But when someone criticizes LEOs, their tendency is to deny everything, denounce the critics, and rally around the worst members of their profession.

Dude, do you KNOW any cops? That statement is total bullsh1t. Good cops HATE bad cops. Much of the "blue silence" or whatever you want to call it, actually comes from the administrative level, not the rank and file. Administrative level does not want the publicity or lawsuits that result from trying to fire bad apples unless they have an air-tight case. Similar to how, say....... pedophile teachers get shuffled around school districts by admins wanting to keep it quiet. But I guess that makes YOU complicit, huh?

Most do condemn bad cops--in the abstract. However, every time a copper is actually accused of anything, I notice they quickly rally to his or her defense.

When people criticize doctors or educators (and I am an educator), most of us readily admit we have problems in our professions. We are also quick to denounce members of the profession whose actions disgrace us.

There are a few "bad apples" in law enforcement and no we don't rally around them. We do however understand what unfounded accusations can do to a persons career and how it can effect their freedom. This is why i'm not going to throw anyone under a bus unless i know i can prove it. Same goes for anyone not in law enforcement, i'm not going to make accusations toward them unless i know i can prove them.

Get over it...there is no conspiracy.
