Yeah, I think if you kinda make a fuss about it ahead of time they make sure to have an anesthesiologist there. I know I've made a fuss.

Yeah I’d want the facility to sign a contract with me that they’d have an MD present. Like what the hell

It's probably cheaper to cancel your surgery than bring another MD on for the case. Sad, but true. One MD can supervise a handful of CRNAs, vs an MD who can do one case.
