One of the Law Med Blog posts has sparked a conversation in the comments section of the "Nurses are an equal if not superior choice to administer anesthesia" article which contains some excellent information regarding malpractice liability for anesthesia providers. It starts out a bit contentious but evolves into a meaningful exchange of views and experiences providing insight into how liability is assigned and to whom, the effect local statutes and hospital policies have, and other insights many may not have considered.
