I always thought only an anesthesiologist could do this. This freaks me out!
Since Joan rivers was mentioned I looked up what happened to her. Her procedure didn’t require a gas dr but she did have one. Even if you are getting the Michael Jackson drug it still comes with risks.
Joan had a spasm. Gas doctors are supposed to know how to deal with it but does take some skill.
Reading what happened to her has prompted me to dig up all the meds used on me to see if anything happened. At that time we didn’t know I have genetic problems processing drugs. To this day I don’t understand the big deal about OXY. It does nothing for me
