I hope they aren't arguing that the fact that he left OSA off his questionnaire is justification for the event.
That's a really sad story.

Yup. Hence the thread title.

I can't remember the last time I gave any fentanyl (or other narc) for an endoscopy, especially to an OSA patient. Probably in the pentothal days, pre-diprivan. Now just lidocaine and judiciously titrated diprivan work wonders for 99.9% of scopes. I'd love to see the anesthesia record from that unfortunate CPO's scope at Jax.
