I am currently in full-time practice and a senior partner with a large anesthesia group in Dallas-Fort Worth. My practice consists of a variety of cases, to include almost every subspecialty in anesthesiology. I perform about 1200 anesthetics per year at a variety of facilities, from a small community surgery center to a large Level 1 trauma hospital. Given my experience, there is basically no type of anesthesia case that I am not comfortable reviewing. If you look at the practices of many of the experts who review anesthesia cases, you will find that they practice at academic institutions and have a largely academic practice. On paper, many of these experts are impressive, but their actual day to day practice consists mostly of supervising residents and fellows and they are often out of touch with the standards of care in community practice. Things are very different at a large academic institution and that experience is typically hard to translate to what actually goes on in ...
