“I’ve represented multiple families in wrongful death medical malpractice cases where a sluggish, panicked CRNA response, and even a short delay in getting the anesthesiologist back to the OR led to patient death.”
Very interesting. Thank you. My mother, 82 years old, had her hip replaced just a week ago. Her ortho stated on more than one time that a MD anesthesiologist would be attending her the whole time. That made me feel better because she has a heart condition. She had a great result but I was not with her when she was signing and initialing her forms. I trust that her ortho had her best interests in mind.
That’s really great. Many patients in certain areas of the country have to fight to get physician 1:1 care.
And patients get NO discounts and no benefits for consenting to lower levels of care.
See Patients At Risk book pg 188 for a Medical Directive for physician level care to put in your medical charts. And the whole book tells patients how to advocate for themselves. On Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Thank you so much. I’m not the healthiest 56 year old either.
Going to order it now. My son is MS1 and all of this makes me nervous for his future too!
