Wow! Even at the brink of death someone was busy thinking of a selfie with the Talk Show star. Reports have it that Joan Rivers' personal doctor took a selfie while the comedian was
under anesthesia and the physician was set to perform an unauthorized
biopsy, a report has claimed.
The incident allegedly occurred in
Manhattan's York-ville ¬Endoscopy shortly before Rivers, 81, underwent a
procedure on her vocal chords that led to her suffering a cardiac
arrest, CNN reports.
Investigators have been informed of the
incident by a member of staff at the clinic, according to the
broadcaster, which also claims that gastroenterologist Dr Lawrence Cohen
finished his work on the star shortly before her unidentified personal
physician performed the biopsy.
However, just before performing
the procedure, it is claimed that the physician took out his camera to
take a picture of himself alongside Rivers, who was unconscious at the
time.
During the subsequent biopsy, Rivers suddenly went into
cardiac arrest, with investigators believing that her vocal chords began
to swell, thereby cutting off oxygen to her lungs.
Earlier this week, a voice recording emerged of Rivers complaining of trouble with her vocal chords.
She
can be heard saying: "I told [you] I didn't feel good. My voice has
been bothering me. I don't know what it is (...) I feel like shit. I'm
tired already."
Later, she said: "That's it - I don't feel good."
