Joan Rivers: Unplanned Biopsy Leads to Death?
Last week I wrote about Joan River’s death and that I was concerned things didn’t seem as they appeared. For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you’ve seen the discussions in a more detailed light. I found it very odd for Joan at her age to go to care facility outside of a hospital for any procedure that would involve knocking her out. And the fact that she did it raised my eyebrows high as Joan is known as the queen of cosmetic surgery.
To hear the latest news that in the middle of a “supposed” routine endoscopy that her doctor took a biopsy which was considered a no-no by qualified experts in the field because it was outside of a hospital setting strongly hints to me that there was more going on then we’ve been told and may ever be told.
I find it interesting in the earliest reports by people who knew Joan that no one said she went in for a routine endoscopy. No one.
No one would use the word endoscopy which was striking to me!
Even Deborah Norville talked AROUND the word “endoscopy” on 20/20 last week. She couldn’t say it! She said, “a diagnostic procedure … [to] see why her voice had gotten raspy.” It sure would have been a lot easier to say “endoscopy,” wouldn’t it?
I scoured the news reports last week when Joan was in the hospital and all of the people who knew her said she was going in for “throat surgery” or “vocal cord surgery”–which cannot be confused with endoscopy. If they thought she went in for a routine endoscopy, they would have said so.
I suspect they knew beforehand what Joan was doing and I suspect Joan knew what she was going to happen as well.
And now to read news reports that say the doctor “discovered”, took a “surprise”, “unplanned” biopsy…well, I’m not buying it.
A doctor doing an endoscopy would tell Joan that it makes no sense to do an endoscopy outside of the hospital setting because with medical protocol he or she would be unable to take a biopsy should it be needed. That’s only logical, right?
While Joan may not have signed on the dotted line (which could have happened for many reasons), I don’t think this procedure that was “unplanned” was “unknown” to Joan. I suspect she had nodules on her vocal cords as many have suspected, wanted them removed at all costs, and was willing to find whoever could do it for her, and she did. It just sadly cost her her life.
Any other way things simply don’t add up — at least with what we’ve been told so far in the media.
