Just wanted to make a remark in the wake of Joan Rivers unfortunate death: the routine procedure she was having was an EGD, in which the patient is under anesthesia and a scope is inserted in the esophagus. Doctors do this test hundreds of times. It goes to show you, there is no such thing as a routine or minor procedure; when they introduce foreign objects or cut into your body, anything can happen.
