Barry wants to take my sedatatives away when the dr "violates" me

The doctor should just spit on your butthole then slide that apparatus right on in Rocco Siffredi style.

I would think you'd be ok with stripping the unnecessaries out of entitlements.

I'm against the government even being part of the decision.

If the government simply has to insert itself into health care, I'd vastly rather give the patient a voucher and let them shop for the colonoscopy they want. There are dozens of decisions to make (doc versus PA, sedation or not, inpatient versus outpatient, etc)

in the stall of Cutter's men's room or outside of it

the possibilities are endless

Barry should have to go through all of these procedures without sedation to see just how 'optional' it truly is.

Did u read the article?

When the study kicked off, 14 percent of these tests included an anesthesiologist. That climbed to more than 30 percent by 2009. The portion of this extra sedation treatment given to low-risk commercially insured patients remained constant during the study and fell slightly in Medicare fee-for-service patients. But the study authors said far too many low-risk patients are still getting this treatment - more than three-fourths of the commercially insured patients and two-thirds of the Medicare group.

To me, nothing screams "quality healthcare" more than not having an anesthesiologist administering my anesthesia.

Twilight is far from what people think of anesthesia in tthe OR. You don't need an anesthesiologist to give you some versed and fentanyl.

Come on plunk, you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

If your baby was getting twilight anesthesia tomorrow morning, would you want an anesthesiologist in the room or would you be fine with the physician doing the procedure monitoring that as well?

I'd be fine with it. I've used twilight and ketamine sedation on young children before without the presence of anesthesia. If you can hear a beeping monitor, place an oral pharyngeal airway, and have access to flumazenil and naloxone, it's pretty damn easy. If things get out of hand, I can tube just about anybody and am certified to do so in newborns on up.

The article is talking about low risk screening procedures like colonoscopies, so you're twisting and taking things out of context.
