Would anyone here ever tolerate a QZ supervision set-up, especially at a busy high acuity practice?

Can anyone discuss how QZ billing works and the liability ramifications? The CRNA is practicing independently I believe but as the anesthesiologist in the hospital you are still liable?

What market are you in? I am in a highly desirable market which unfortunately hasn’t caught up to the rest of the country

Is that really true? Most people are making around or over 400k for 50-60 hours a week.

Majority of patients get said procedures with no anesthesia or with versed and fentanyl. No my issue is not providing anesthesia for them obviously. It just feels like an unnecessary use of our skill and time when it can be done with a nurse or even the surgeon themselfes providing sedation

I have had cases where the IR doc couldn’t get it with his fluoro for 30 min and I went in and got the LP in a few minutes myself.

I never meant they are dumb procedures. I meant the anesthesia for them is dumb. For angiograms we basically give 25-50 of fentanyl. The surgeons probably utilize anesthesia so they can have less liability or bill more themselfes. anesthesia services for all of these are often times unnecessary...

I’m not sure but I believe so.

Just wanted to see if other groups/departments do anesthesia for completely unnecessary procedures. We provide anesthesia often for port placements (even removals), nephrostomy tubes, bone marrow biopsies, adult MRIs, angiograms. And all in regular patients (not jsut patients with mental...

Wow, From looking at the website, it seems you are right. I wonder what I should do then because Dean Heinrich told me I should consider applying ED because I am a pretty good applicant and I was close to getting an acceptance this cycle. However, I don't want to possibly not get accepted and...

I'm kind of late with this reply and I may be wrong, but I thought if you apply ED you can still apply to other schools in June like you normally would. The only difference is if you are accepted then you must withdraw your other applications, but if you are not accepted ED then you go into the...

Yeah I've only received 2 waitlists so far so i'm hoping for the longshot that i'll be accepted here

I interviewed March 2nd...so I guess it might be good news I didn't get a waitlist email or probably just bad news that I got a rejection letter waiting in the mail lol

Did you guys get waitlisted through the mail? I interviewed around then too but did not receive mail or e-mails yet. I didn't check the mail today yet though.

Yeah I understand what you're saying and agree completely. I just don't think I have much time to change anything really except my MCAT. If I had known I was going to get waitlisted back in November or December, I would have had time to do other EC things. But now, It's already the middle of...
