The treatment of Joan was so shameful it is beyond imagination! I am just sick, sick,, sick at the loss of her. People everywhere are reeling over this. In my small town in Western Massachusetts, people were toasting to her in a restaurant last night, and a woman told me she was at another place the night before and they were toasting her there, as well. I hope Melissa and Cooper really know how much Joan was admired and appreciated and that people are really sad and angry at her premature loss. Joan could have gone another strong 10 years---she could have seen Cooper graduate from college---it's more than a shame, it's outrageous!
Certainly the unexpected passing of this prominent, talented, much-loved woman is sad for her family, friends and fans. However, whether it is "shameful" or "outrageous" depends on the results of the ongoing investigation (the full results of which have not yet been released). Also, it's important to keep some perspective. Joan may have been lively and active, but she was elderly -- in her 80's -- had undergone many elective surgeries and anesthesias, and reportedly had problems with heart arrythmia. Yes, she might have lived another ten active, productive years -- or her sudden passing may have spared her some of the illness, disability, and decline that often come with advancing age. We'll never know.
At the very least, her death is motivating a fresh look at the pros, cons, and possible risks of outpatient surgery centers. All of us await the facts of the investigation into her death and wish peace and healing for her family. What a personality and what a talent. She will be missed.
If anything, her elective surgeries displayed her strong tolerance for anethesia. And is that an attempt at a 'half glass full' analysis? That she was spared illness, disability, etc that often comes with advanced age?? !! Don't take this wrong- but that is simply twisted !!

Nope......just an honest observation that the above poster's comment that Joan "could have gone on another strong ten years" and seen her descendents finish college might or might not have come true. We never know, do we? I'm currently dealing with the care of my husband's very elderly mother -- with dementia, in a wheelchair, in a nursing home -- and went through the same sad process with my mom earlier. My hope for myself is that I live an active, aware, full life and then pass on suddenly in my sleep before I start to seriously fall apart. Not a bad deal, overall.

I'm going through this with my Dad currently- on hospice and now has stopped dialysis. He has just days left with us. So I know where you're coming from- but my Dad wouldn't trade his final years for anything. He's seen how his kids have flourished - and how his grandchildren have grown. They have such love and admiration for him! They've shared many happy memorable times. My stepmom has dementia as well- each week she's impacted more by the changes with my Dad. But through it all the glass is still truly half full.

You would like to THINK that, but no one knows for sure .... she was an elderly woman with a heart condition and more than a dozen major surgeries under her belt. 
She could have died at home that morning, putting on her makeup!
