re: I just had a colonoscopy this morning with Propofol, and damn that is one powerful drug

This is almost certainly wrong. The anesthesiologists supervise typically 4 rooms, while the CRNA’s actually intubate,administer the drugs, and monitor during the case.

There should have been the GI doc, a CRNA, a tech (assisting the MD), and an RN, if the room was staffed appropriately.

The anesthesiologist would only come to the room if the shite hit the fan.

There was only one colonoscopy going one at a time.....everyone else waiting in the prep room divided by curtains. The anesthesiologist was going in with every patient one by one, one at at time


Believe it or not but I was actually there....there wasnt 4 rooms....there was one room, and like I said the only people in the room was myself, the DR, the anesthesiologist and an assistant, there may have been a nurse but I only remember 3 other people...


Here is my dr's address and phone number if you'd like to call them and tell them they are doing it wrong....
