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?
I never knew that when a doctor performs a biopsy on the throat that it could cause the throat to spasm..a Gastroenterologist does NOT touch the throat area..that is not his specialty. An endoscopy checks the esophagus and stomach, they don’t look at the throat, that is the job of the ENT, only if the ENT finds something in their examination do they send the patient usually to the hospital for a biopsy. The doctor that got thrown out of Yorkville(Lawrence Cohen) he is the head honcho of that clinic, perhaps he and this butcher ENT have a relationship that they send clients to each other..but as far as doing a biopsy on the throat that is not the job of an endoscopy so there are many pieces to this story that are missing.
Joan herself told friends the night before the procedure that she was having a “small procedure done to check her throat” so obviously she did not consider this to be a big deal. If she knew a biopsy was being done I think she would have considered that a big deal, a biopsy being taken from any part of the body is a big deal because you never know what the results will show
