While I don't think it contributed to any malpractice (not sure if I read the article right), it just goes to show we're in an attention whoring arms race. At least with funeral selfies the person was already dead and the person taking the photos wasn't someone you rely on for your life.

This was my first question. As of now, the ID of the doctor hasn't been released. But I got a hunch....

Funeral selfies and barely-clinging-to-life selfies are equally disgusting.

At the end of the CNN video it says the doctor was a woman. This isn't at all surprising to me because intelligence is no guard against female vapidity. The smartest girls are just as preoccupied with selfies, instagram likes, and celebrity bullshit as their counterparts on the left side of the bell curve. (In fact, they're often sluttier due to greater ability to rationalize away their LMR/ASD.)

"...the doctor, a female, was in fact doing that with her in the background."

Shocking, truly.

In general, the lack of professionalism and outright immaturity of some women in professional positions worries me. The last bachelorrette as an example was an assistant DA. Her job was sending people to prison and she was on the same maturity level as a masters student in women's studies with a part time job at starbucks.

Wait, and why does she have her dirty as hell phone in an operating room? Especially after touching it with her latex gloves and then the patient would be like rubbing a gloved finger in her butt crack and then going to work.

No, not the actual photo. I found it googling "Surgery Selfie."

The legal field/justice system is one of the scariest places to allow to be overfeminized. In a system that, at the end of the day, can be severly influenced by subjectivity, and with serious consequences to a person's life, it is scary to think that the more emotionally and hormonally unstable half of humanity can impose its influence.

Here is a pic of the "selfie doctor." According to the Yahoo story, she's known as "throat specialist to the stars." Perhaps she should now be known as "specialist to the dead stars."



Here is the story:
Joan Rivers’ Selfie-Snapping Doctor Revealed as Throat Specialist to the Stars
https://tv.yahoo.com/news/joan-rivers-se...00192.html

The ear, nose, and throat specialist who performed a procedure on the late comedienne Joan Rivers has been revealed as her personal physician, Dr. Gwen Korovin, according to reports.

Pictures posted on Korovin's Facebook show the New York-based specialist has a slew of celebrity clientele, including Hugh Jackman and Daniel Radcliffe. She's known as Broadway's go-to throat specialist helping such stars as Patti Lupone with their singing voices.

According to TMZ, Korovin isn't authorized to practice medicine at the Yorkville Endoscopy center, where Rivers went Aug. 28 to undergo a scheduled endoscopy by gastroenterologist and the clinic's medical director Dr. Lawrence Cohen. After that procedure, CNN reports Rivers also underwent an unauthorized vocal cord biopsy performed by her personal doctor.

Korovin's office said in a statement, “We do not comment on matters related to patients.”

On Sept. 5, the New York Medical Examiner's Office told TheWrap that the autopsy on Rivers’ body did not determine the cause or manner of death, and that further studies would be conducted to determine exactly how she died.

Rivers was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, but did not recover. She was placed in a medically-induced coma and had been on life support when she died on Sept. 4.

A spokesperson for Yorkville Endoscopy told TheWrap that as per HIPAA laws it does not disclose the names of their patients or their doctors. Reps for Rivers’ family have not yet responded to requests for comment.

She probably rationalized her fucked up behavior by claiming Joan would find it amusing. As another esteemed forum member stated, the hamster is strong in correlation to a woman's intelligence.

Cell Phones are on average more filthy then door nobs, they are covered in bacteria with no good way to sanitize them. That alone should be bad enough an professional mess up as its to easy of a way for infections to spread. Employers need to crack down on cell phones.

I can't for the life of me think of why a medical professional would think this would be a good idea. Your gonna squeeze in some broad in between your 2pm and 4pm procedures? Yeah right. No reason your phone should be on you in that setting, what a joke.

My old boss was firing people on the spot after he put down a no phone policy. Surprise that mostly women were getting canned and they complained and the heat caused him to back off and just issue "warnings".

Funny, I call myself the throat specialist too.

She should be reviewed and lose her license. She might very well, this is a violation of regulations related to taking unauthorized, non-treatment related pictures that include the patient.

[BadWolf]

This is Krape.

Its a HIPA violation at least.

Maybe I should clarify I meant throat specialist as in "my load always hits the back of her throat."
