“Some doctors like Profofol because the second you remove the needle the patient wakes up and can go home.”
Properly administered for the proper purpose and monitored by an anesthesiologist, Profofol can be excellent choice for the patient as well. It’s the ideal drug if you need to be electro-cardioconverted for recurrent atrial fibrillation.
The Michael Jackson situation was gross medical malpractice. I suspect the same for Joan Rivers, though for different reasons, like her age, no anesthesiologist, etc.
Doctors like it because your basically in and out..the second that needle comes out of you your awake and you can go home..less hospital stay, they can move on to the next patient. Someone wasn’t doing there job here, because from what I understand the endoscope was never even inserted, the second the drug was given she went into cardiac arrest so my guess, she was given too much..Yorkville Endoscopy is going to get investigated and probably sued..if I were the Rivers family I would sue too, if this was gross negligence they basically murdered her
