As an EMT and future RN, I am outraged by this blatant disregard for patient safety. I understand it is easy to blame the clinic's owner or medical director, but I feel that the RN/CRNA's (nurse anesthetists) involved should be down right ashamed of themselves. Whether an RN anesthetist or even an MD anesthesiologist, they have the responsibility of having the patient's life in their hands while the patient is under. It is shocking, and shameful, to hear that any licensed professional would knowingly take orders from a clinic manager, owner or whatever which would put people's lives in danger just to save a few bucks.
Shame on those nurse anesthetists. If I were one of the people involved, I strongly urge you to report the RN/CRNA's involved in your care to the proper state nursing boards so that they may be disciplined for their role in this shameful practice. How could this have been allowed to go on for 2+ years without any one of them speaking out about such an obviously unsafe practice?? This is terrible.
