Quotes:
“Malpractice insurance, also known as medical professional liability insurance, is what I consider to be the most fundamental insurance we have as oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It protects our ability to practice; it protects our livelihood.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:03:53]
“Insurance, for me, is very simple. I insure things that I cannot afford to replace, and I cannot afford to replace my profession.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:04:08]
“In a liability claim, the patient comes with a verbal story; we come with a written record. And as everybody knows in the legal arena, written is better than verbal.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:24:07]
“We’re stronger together than individually – if we stay together, we can make a bigger impact.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:14]
“There’s no way to really prevent a malpractice allegation – but we can recognize that it’s always a possibility and have strategies to mitigate or lessen the chances of that happening, or if it does happen, have the documentation prepared so it minimizes the impact of that allegation.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:37]
“You have to be available for your patients, you have to be affable, and you have to be able. If you stick to that, then there’s a lower likelihood of a patient filing suit.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:29:17]

When Breath Becomes AirEnduranceOn WritingThe Way of the Superior ManQuotes:
“Most recently, in 2020, they reported [that] 1 in 36 people had autism in the United States. So, this is certainly something that we’re going to see, and we’re going to see more of it throughout our practice and throughout our careers.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:02:35]
“With patients that are a little bit more combative, even having them come into the office environment for a consult could be challenging for them. So [first], I’ll pick up the phone and have a conversation with Mom.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:25:57]
“It’s a lot less stressful day for me as the anesthesia provider if the patient is a lot more calm and controllable.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:26:38]
“Very similar to the spectrum of autism, you’re going to see a huge spectrum in the way that they respond to certain medications.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:37:28]
“A lot of outside-the-box thinking and flexibility on our part can go a long way.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:41:12]
“Never underestimate how much a nonverbal individual understands – most people can understand and comprehend a lot more than they can verbally express.” — Dr. Jonathan Bacon [0:43:51]

Reviewing Anesthesia Near Misses with Aortic Stenosis and Other Issues, with Dr. Paul Rollins
5/27/2024
Anesthesia is critical to surgical procedures, ensuring patients are comfortable and pain-free during operations. However, administering anesthesia is not without risks, especially for patients with underlying health conditions like aortic stenosis. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Rollins, Oral Surgeon at Falls Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, to explore some of his anesthesia near misses with patients. Learn about the basics of aortic stenosis, what the symptoms are, and how to identify it before administering anesthesia. Discover how to differentiate between aortic stenosis and Still’s murmur, why you need a high-quality stethoscope, and how to identify a diastolic murmur. We also delve into the process that follows after reliably identifying aortic stenosis, the pitfalls of relying completely on advisors for clearance, and the importance of maintaining a patient’s blood pressure while avoiding hypertension during anesthesia. Gain insight into other issues to consider before administering general anesthesia, the importance of asking questions, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Andy explains how a compromised airway leads to TMD complications, with technical examples of the exact causes of TMD. He also describes how regular deep sleep can eradicate most problems, how premolar removal is detrimental and the best practices for TMD treatments. You’ll learn about assessing and preparing patients for maxillomandibular advancement surgery, Dr. Andy’s process for these surgeries, and receive some helpful resources on the value and power of good sleep, plus a whole lot more!
