[Surfer]

I tell all primary care docs, cardiologists, pulmonary, etc. that I only have two questions for them when seeing a patient for "clearance"

1. How bad are they?
2. Is there anything that we should do before surgery to make them better?

If they answer those two questions in their "preop clearance" the will have the gratitude of many anesthesiologists.

👍👍

friggin funny, perhaps if it weren't so tragic.

Jet, what did "they" end up doing with that guy (or hypothetically if you don't know what happened to THIS particular guy). Would you cancel, and then would they reschedule the case when he was further stabilized?? It seems most of his issues are chronic, including his lytes which could be a mixed acute/chronic picture (which could be corrected near term). So, what happens to a guy like this?
