Why was an 81-year old woman having general anesthesia in an out patient clinic rather than a hospital. In a hospital, they have real anesthesiologists administering anesthesia.

We don’t know if an anesthesiologist was involved, or not.
I have had two surgeries in a same day “surgery center,” with anesthesiologist, general, etc. (Not referred to as “outpatient.”)
I had a 3rd surgery in a similar facility, local drug, without anesthesiologist.
