Most Inefficient Surgery Center Ever

[Aether2000]

Today was a first- was posted at a surgery center with 10 eye cases scheduled to start at 8:00. Surgeon finally arrives 9:00. Eye block complete in 5 min. Patient waits until 9:50 to enter the OR because the OR nurses could not be located...were outside smoking. Unbelievable!

I don't know who owns it. We finished our second cataract case at 11:35 with five more to go OMG!

Depends if you are hourly or fee for service.

My friend does 40 cataracts by 3pm most days. But out west you be lucky to get $75-100 per cataract.

Better ways to make money in fee for service.

the math doesn't even make sense there. in an 8 hr day? that's 12min per case, every case. impossible!

It makes sense if you are bouncing between 2 rooms.

On medical mission trips we'd do 60 strabismus cases from 7-5 with 1 surgeon. We'd give him 2 work stations with 2 anesthesiologists though. Wake up and put next kid to sleep while he's working at the other table. It was very efficient. The nurses didn't take smoking breaks.

Welcome back to anesthesia Algos!

GAK! I think I would have started looking for objects to bang my head in.

I rotated at an eye center with 4 rooms and 40-50 cases/day as a resident. Started at 0700, and we were done by 3pm, and that was with me doing more than a few retrobulbar blocks.
