Lack of oxygen - seems odd. If she was having a medical procedure done in a medical office why didn’t she get CPR right away?

Throat surgery - maybe her airway got blocked?

maybe it was a plastic surgery?

I read they didn’t do any surgery, they were just looking at her vocal chords with an endoscope.

When your under sedation and having any kind of endoscope put in, sometimes water can get into the lungs(Happened to my Mom a few weeks ago when she had her endoscopy done) difference is, my Mom refuses to be sedated, for anything, she fears the sedation more than the procedure..so when the water went in, it was just a tiny amount, she coughed right away..when your sleeping you can’t cough. I can’t understand how come she didnt have this done in a hospital setting, she flew from LA to New York to go to this particular place, she must have history with them

Wifey and I both recently had colonoscopies and endoscopies at a local GI outpatient place....in addition to the doc performing the roto-rooting, there was an RN who monitored the machines....we both had those little fingertip clips that monitors oxygen/blood saturation, as well as those little chest-stickys hooked up to an ECG machine.

Maybe they're a bit more slack in New York.
