[HSF] Standard of care for lawyers {OT}

[hgrmd at aol.com]

Ani,
  I guess the upside for the patient is that I'm the one actually doing the surgery, not some resident who was shucking gallbladders 3 months previously.  Look, it's not a perfect system, and I'm working to improve it.  In fact, I was talking with the CEO earlier today about my plan to get intensivists for the hospital.  I will say that the vast majority of the CVICU nurses recognize when one of the docs needs to come in.

re the patients you operate on in this hospital aware that not of your team are 
vailable at night of their surgery and that they will be looked after only by 
R doctors and nurses? With this knowledge do some ever (or would you expect 
ome to) opt to have surgery in another hospital you operate?
