Partnering With Surgeons
Instituting regional anesthesia as a cornerstone practice requires strong partnership between surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Below is a compendium of reflection and advice from a number of surgeons I and my team partnered with to shift our collective practice.
Dr. Samuel Z. Soffer, MD
When done well and efficiently, NOT to do a block is inappropriate! I was an initial skeptic- now I'm an enthusiastic believer
Dr. Aaron M. Lipskar, MD
I thought it was a major step forward for the neoanatal and pediatric surgical patient from the get-go.
Dr. Jose M. Prince, MD
Establish the process with a surgeon partner and engage them in the advocacy…
Dr. Nelson G. Rosen, MD
Surgeons will not want them unless you sell it, and show that they are quick and lead to less pain and higher satisfaction.
