Old news.

I always like to play devils advocate. The same time frame. Joan rivers MD only anesthesia doctor likely never intubated for a long time either and failed to secure Joan rivers airway (that’s the cold hard truth)

Same with this crna not securing the patient airway cause they were rusty.

But with videoscopes in practically all ASC in 2024. This event likely does not happen

Old case I remember reading about it. Elderly CRNA tailing out their career in a MAC only eyeball center. Hadn't done a real case in years.

You must be reading the same Reddit thread I am. It’s disgusting how mackinnon and his loonies all flaunt their full practice authority and deluded equivalance, when these same ppl would be the first to play the “just a nurse card” when they can no longer hide their malpractice. I’d be happier if they all openly take full responsibility and they can own their fkups solo for all I care.

Mike M is a known loser that used to come around and was banned multiple times. Now works in some god forsaken dump. One of the mods here a long time ago used to work with him and said he was just as much if not more of a loser back then.

This all started after the retrobulbar block was done by the surgeon causing that patient pain and agitation. That ophthalmologist probably didn’t do that block correctly.

CRNAs when they want respect or money - “I’m a crnANESTHESIOLOGIST.”


CRNAs when the get in trouble or in a fight with a MD/DO - “I’m just a crNURSEa, why is everyone so mean to me.”

 

[UscGhost]

The expert testimony doesn't make any sense to me


"the plaintiff had low blood sugar and high blood pressure on the morning of surgery. It was this expert’s opinion that, given the patient’s medical condition, general anesthesia should have been used"

Why does that indicate general?

The 2017 gi death in Stamford conn verdict the anesthesia group /md (who died in 2021 of cancer)

The verdict in summer of 2024 made no mention of crna liability

Jurors just like to hear sob stories

Like this recent ct ob gyn lawsuit. Crazy no perm damage and bladder injury. And woman couldn’t have more children on her own and ob gyn get 18 million judgment (no harm to baby) no perm harm to mother

Just fyi most of these “jury awards” don’t happen… often they exceed the state limits for pain and suffering etc. and on appeal they settle for policy minimums.

I wonder if there's a disconnect between what actually happened and what the person who wrote down these events understood. Then again, expert testimony is purchased, paid for, and delivered to order - wouldn't be the first time we've seen absurd claims made by "experts" to further their payor's needs.

The ABA should be more aggressive about sanctioning people and revoking board certifications.

I think most “expert” witness must provide more than 16 hours of clinical duty on average the past 2 years. This basically knocks out every single dept chair of any major academic dept along with their vice chairs

It’s hard to trust anyone on the stands who doesn’t practice clinical medicine recently.

But the ABA purposely says the “standard” for clinical competency at a lowly 8 hours a week on average. It’s been a long time since I read the ABA handbook. But that was the written standard in their booklet. I can’t locate that handbook online via google searches currently.

Geez. Insane. What's the point of these lottery verdicts. So ridiculous.

Jurors can say whatever they want pretty much. If it exceeds the state law (for example for pain and suffering) the judge immediately changes it…. But the press love it. They love the headline with the big number. They love the implication that the plantiff is getting that $. It’s not the case at all.
