The doctor took the photo in the procedure room at Manhattan’s Yorkville Endoscopy before performing the procedure on Rivers’ vocal cords, according to CNN.

A staffer at the clinic told investigators about the doctor’s behavior, the cable-TV network said. …

Entertainment has literally infected everything in the USA. We are amusing ourselves to death.

That’s amazing. How any doctor could take a selfie while anasthesia is pretty hard to do.

That’s nothing.

Joan Rivers mortician took a selfie with Joan while she was in the casket.

Yeah, I just made that up. But something tells me that Joan would laugh her plastic ass off if that happened.

” Entertainment has literally infected everything in the USA. We are amusing ourselves to death. “

Liberalism leads to Nihlism which to fill the empty void the people become self absorbed which then as we see leads to death....

How old was this “Doctor” 15? Melissa Rivers has huge grounds for a lawsuit here, against Yorkville Endoscopy and against this ENT..the only part of this story that does not make sense is the part about the biopsy and how Joan Rivers did not consent to it. I have had endoscopies and colonoscopies before, so has my Mom, I dont know if its different at other clinics but at Kaiser, you sign one consent form and it has nothing to do with taking biopsies during the procedure. If the doctor finds something they remove it, they don’t leave it in and ask you later if you wanted it removed

Typical Hollywood, New York behavior. So into themselves.

Somehow, I do think that Joan would find this funny. Certainly, if this all had happened to another celebrity, her jokes would be nonstop and funny, too. She was a comic genius, even though she did go over the edge.

Yes, this doctor is finished. So unfortunate for everyone.

Yep. One person’s over-the-top has to outdo everyone else’s over-the-top.

Apparently Joan Rivers trusted this woman and it cost her her life.

It’s particularly amazing because I’m betting Joan would have gladly posed for a quick photo with her long-time ENT if he asked politely — and perhaps had done so! Point being, it’s pretty clear that the purpose of this particular selfie was to poke fun at the — at HIS — patient. Wow.

I dont understand why Joan Rivers took this woman to Yorkville Endscopy with her..an ENT would have already looked at her vocal chords with a camera through the nose and would have seen the polyp immediately and she would have been taken to the hospital to get the biopsy done, I just don’t get what this doctors connection to Yorkville is

I think there’s more here than what we’re hearing. The clinic is actively trying to throw Joan’s doctor under the bus. This should have been a pretty routine procedure. Even going into laryngospasm, you have trained ENTs there. Couldn’t they preform a tracheostomy on her?
