Really? She was 81 years old. There are significant risks involved in general anesthesia at any age, especially at that age.<br /><br />Let&#39;s wait until the consent form signed by Rivers is released before we start indicting the physician. <br /><br />Clearly she had to have known the risks, unless she&#39;s demonstrated a level of dementia and it&#39;s unlikely an MMSE would have been ever performed.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-26138868836236396202014-09-10T07:10:25.244-05:002014-09-10T07:10:25.244-05:00In our hi-tech specialist age, Joan Rivers&#39; untimely death seemed so unbelievable from the outset. <br /><br />If the emerging reports are true that an &quot;accompanying&quot; physician asked the attending doctor to perform an unplanned biopsy... why on earth was that allowed in an off-hospital setting?<br /><br />Will we find that that last voice refusing to be bullied and silenced by the moronic PC liberal crowd has forever been muted by what are supposed to be the guardians of health?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
