Joan Rivers' daughter files lawsuit over mother's death
Quote:
Joan Rivers' doctors were so busy taking cell phone pictures of their famous patient that they missed the moment her vital signs plummeted — and they ignored pleas from the anesthesiologist to halt the procedure, according to a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed Monday by the comic’s daughter.
For 17 minutes, while her blood pressure, pulse, heart rate and oxygen levels dropped — precipitously — the doctors in the room failed to cut into her trachea to restore the oxygen flow to her brain, court papers said.
Melissa Rivers, 47, filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the clinic and the two doctors and three anesthesiologists who treated her 81-year-old mother last August, Joan River's daughter filed a multi million dollar lawsuit Monday against the clinic and the doctors who treated her mother last August, charging that their negligence triggered a coma that ended in her mother's death.
Joan did know the risk but these doctors were still taking SELFIES while operating. Unacceptable especially since it cause them to not notice her vital going down.
If the doctors were being that unprofessional then why is this story coming out 5 months later?
If the daughter sued them 5 months ago, people would have dragged her for being greedy and not focused on her mother's death. She needed time to properly grieve before she could take on the legal side of things.

I agree with that but if I and presumably other people saw the doctors taking pictures instead of caring for my dying mother I'd be alarmed.. I just fInd it strange that no one said anything until now.
what kinda negligence?! And breach of confidentiality
