Joan Rivers' personal ear, nose, and throat doctor allegedly took a selfie with the comedienne while she was under general anesthesia for her throat procedure.

According to CNN, a Yorkville Endoscopy staff member told investigators the photograph was taken while she was in the procedure room.

The 81-year-old entertainer was there to undergo a scheduled endoscopy by gastroenterologist and the Manhattan clinic's medical director Dr. Lawrence Cohen, according to reports. After that procedure, CNN reports Rivers also underwent an unauthorized vocal cord biopsy performed by the personal physician, who hasn't been identified.
