From the TMZ article: “Rivers was rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during throat surgery on Thursday.” Here’s my question - where the hell were they performing throat surgery in the first place? The kitchen table or something? ---

A buddy of mine had a heart attack taking the treadmill stress test at a Doctor’s office, and they called an ambulance. Go figure. It probably has something to do with making money. ---

I think my point is being missed. Try to follow me here … throat surgery. See where I’m coming from? It was surgery. On her throat. One would think she would _already be_ at a hospital when that sort of thing would be going down.
