, an anesthesiologist based in Chico, Calif., who is not involved in Lugo’s case. “Now, we do live in a time where more and more people are requesting deeper and deeper levels of sedation for their procedures based on the fact that they don’t want to feel any pain.”“This may be a case where that tooth is what we call 'impacted,' and had to surgically go dig around and find it,” he said.
Marble Falls Assistant Police Chief Trisha Ratliff said in an email “no determination of criminal offense was pursued” as a result of Teague’s death.“I know any time you’re doing anything medically or with sedation, there’s always risks,” the detective said., a professor of bioethics at DePaul University in Chicago and who previously worked at what’s now known as UT Health San Antonio, said Teague’s colleagues had no obligation to have him evaluated before Lugo’s procedure to ensure he was fine.
Teague “has as much right to medical privacy as any other person,” Klugman said. The practice’s principals “would only know what he chose to tell them. If he didn’t choose to share anything, and he appeared to be fine, then they would have no reason to suspect he was endangering patients.” “Is there a good way to know when it’s time for a doctor to step down?” he said. “We don’t have one, and I don’t know that there could be one. It’s sort of a self-realization that one has to come to.”Lugo spent six months at St. David’s Medical Center, racking up about $1 million in medical bills, Lyons said. Her health insurer has denied coverage because it didn’t approve her getting health care in Texas, he added.
