The Secret Anti-Abortion Law That's Sweeping America

[COLGATE4]

2. Most places that perform outpatient procedures like oral surgery,

colonoscopies, etc. have a strict protocol for the highly unusual instances when something goes really wrong with a patient - call 911. Whether the physician (or oral surgeon) performing the procedure has admitting privileges to a local hospital is totally irrelevant. When the shit hits the fan the patient needs to be taken care of by qualified emergency docs, which is why the patient is transported to the emergency care unit at the nearest hospital. At the most, in an outpatient setting the only thing done is to try and stabilize the patient until the paramedics arrive. The whole issue of requiring admitting privileges for professionals doing outpatient procedures is phony from start to finish.
