I’ve had several operations, and the surgeons are not the ones who administer the anesthesia- anesthesiologists who are trained are the ones who do. They usually state that they Wil. Be using one kind or another, a dask if the patient has had any experience or bad reactions before they go into surgery.

Not sure how the surgeon can be held responsible?

[[Marty and Dixie Ellington also alleged that Brown also had Hillary Brown perform procedures on other patients that she was not qualified to perform, PNJ reported]]

Ok I’m confused- the surgeon, Ben brown, did the operation, but the sent3nce seems to indicate that hil.ary brown, the victim, “performed procedures she was not qualified to do”?

Is my tired brain missing something?

Presumably, his wife helped him in the operating room when she wasn’t qualified to be there. It shows the guy was running a shady business.

That would also set the stage for why some people think this woman was murdered.

There is a lot missing in this story. Marriage issues? Did he think she would talk? Did she or he have an affair?

As much as I might like to get some “lifting” done...the anethesia requirement stops me.

His wife’s name was Dixie though?

That’s how it works in a legit hospital, but it doesn’t sound like that’s how it worked in this man’s little clinic.

The article also says he was short-staffed, so I think the implication is he was using his unqualified wife as a nurse/assistant.

I’ve only had 2 bad experiences with anesthesia itself- one where I was really struggling to breathe when recovering- lasted about 20 minutes- and another time where I was freaked out for 32 hours straight- all the other times I was fine. I never worry about it before going in, as I don’t really care if i wake up or not, but it is how I awaken that gets me. Dying under anesthesia seems to me, personally, to be an easy way to go.

Yeah it looks like a lot went wrong- and he was a shady doc. I’ve only ever been to major hospitals so chances of that happening are slim to none- looks like his was a small outfit-

Wow- that is something I’d never agree to- I want the surgeons and nurses concentrating on the surgery, and an anesthesiologist concentrating on his job.

It also looks like they didn’t have enough emergency equipment on hand either- looks like a really shoddy doc
