Doubtful he gets in trouble. He is on the board and friends with the board members. Ridiculous

 

[amyl]

He should never be allowed to care for patients ever again. Ridiculous

 

[DocVapor]

Probably has a bunch of OMFS buddies.

Arrogant ass who thought that the rules didn't apply to him.
Wanted to save a few $$.
Obviously has no regard for the medical specialty of Anesthesiology.

Speciality of anesthesiology? He literally has no regard for his patients. They are dollar signs to him.

Except the complaint originated from the Florida Dept of Health which is over the Medical Board.

More like a separate process as opposed to "over".
If any patients came to harm as a result of non-anesthesia personnel giving anesthetic drugs, he and the owner(s) of the facility will be looking at big problems.

Now we all know how healthy vascular patients typically are so it astounds me that this hasn’t led to some measure of penalty. This guy was likely dealing with ASA 3s or 4s. 🤦‍♂️

I wonder what he was doing there, anything besides veins? Stupid either way but I assume lots of veins are done with minimal sedation or the like, but they probably use sedation nurses at a minimum. Might also be some billing fraud involved.

It’s just anesthesia…..I mean what could go wrong?

Things work well, until they don't.

Practicing at the top of their licenses !

I have personally worked with this surgeon.

Not sure what sort of procedures he did in his office.

While horrified, I cannot say this news surprised me.

And yet he is a board member who would discipline another physician for doing this.

I have had my thoughts on him. But I won’t share those on a public forum.

 

[sevo00]

He should never be allowed to practice again

Yup. Like Caesar's wife, Board members should be above suspicion. Of course, the same should be true for Judges, Clergy, Elected officials, etc. (chortle).
