At a recent OR committee meeting a surgeon brought up a scenario. If he is on the phone with hard to reach family member he would like to get the anesthesia consent for us (if an anesthesiologist is not around)
Curious if anyone could point me in the direction of any literature or previous lawsuits where this has come up. Again he is looking to only do it in rare cases when a family member will not be around for a repeat phone call and the anesthesiologist is not around.
as a jury of my peers what would you say?
