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

Joan Rivers’ doctor took a selfie while she was under anesthesia, report claims

________________________________________________

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.

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.

The unauthorized doctor is Gwen Korovin, a throat specialist “to the stars” AKA fame slut”

It might be unprofessional, and a violation of the patient's privacy but a selfie only takes a few seconds. I don't think this rises to the level of malpractice.

The unauthorized biopsy is of greater concern, but if the doctor saw a mass, I can understand why he would want to biopsy it. Not sure how that led to her cardiac arrest.

Doctors are going to have to start putting permission clauses in surgery forms that if the doc sees a mass that he suspects is cancerous, that he can biopsy or remove it at will.

To take a selfie with your patient under anesthesia is grossly unethical. No matter what happens with the lawsuit, this doctor is toast.

Seems I remember a case a while back where someone put a mask or drew a mustache or something on someone on a patient who was also an employee while under anesthesia and took a picture and passed it around, thought it was funny, thought the employee would think it was funny. She did not. It caused a major problem. You cannot do things to people under anesthesia like that. It’s considered taking liberties.

I’ve heard of surgeons doing strange things (I used to work in a hospital) but in this day and age where things can be easily documented and everything gets out very fast on social media, even for UN VIPS, you simply can’t fool around like that.
