Let me introduce myself as a retired anesthesiologist who was intimately involved with OP Surgical Centers beginning in 1970 in San Diego. The first such center was established in Phoenix by two anesthesiologist solely because a hospital insisted on keeping patients overnight for minor surgery. There was NO surgical ownership but the medical community applauded the revolutionary approach. Our anesthesiology group developed the first surgical centers in San Diego with no surgical ownership. Most assuredly there are many surgical centers in USA with at least some surgical ownership.
Accreditation for these centers is a very rigid process and supported by a national organization. Indeed most hospitals have developed their own out patient surgical centers.
The details surrounding the Joan Rivers incident are as yet unknown: Did it take place in an endoscopy center where intravenous sedation is administered by the physician without adequate monitoring of vital signs? Was an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist present? The lack of any details makes one highly suspicious. To indict out patient surgical centers in general seems a bit over reaching. Your general statement about surgical centers not having emergency rooms reflects a failure to understand how intraoperative emergencies are managed. Emergency rooms are NEVER involved in the treatment of emergencies in the Operating room. Highly qualified anesthesia personnel are trained to manage such emergencies. I hope you will accept these comments as an effort to clarify the facts. We await the emergence of the facts surrounding the Joan Rivers case.
