\n<\/span><\/p>\nAn independent doctor is to review the treatment of US soul legend Etta James, after her son raised fears over the care given by her live-in doctor.<\/p>\n
The attorney for James’s son Donto told the judge Dr Elaine James had carried out a procedure to insert feeding tubes that should only be done in hospital. <\/p>\n
Mr James has alleged his mother could be in “very serious danger”.<\/p>\n
James, 72, known for her hit At Last, has dementia and is being treated for leukaemia and associated problems. <\/p>\n
Dr James, who is not related to the family, told the Associated Press new agency she welcomed the independent review.<\/p>\n
“He can have 10 examiners, he can have 20 physicians to come in that house to perform the duties I do,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I have a list of 23 medical sub-specialties that I have had to treat her for. She is not an easy patient.” <\/p>\n
In January the singer’s husband, Artis Mills, was given permission by the judge to use some of her savings to pay for her health care. <\/p>\n
Mr Mills claimed she had become too sick to manage her own money.<\/p>\n
Mr Mills has also challenged a claim by Donto James that his mother gave him power of attorney.<\/p>\n
The singer has been out of the public eye since January last year when she was admitted to hospital after suffering from various ailments, including a blood infection.<\/p>\n
She became ill while in a clinic for treatment to an addiction to painkillers and other medicines.<\/p>\n
James is the winner of four Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.<\/p>\n
In the 2008 film Cadillac Records, she was portrayed by the singer Beyonce Knowles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
