Severance residents often receive anesthesia care through regional hospitals and outpatient surgery centers that serve a wider geographic area. That means your records may be:
- split between pre-op testing, the procedure encounter, and post-op recovery
- stored in different electronic systems
- updated after the fact (sometimes with gaps)
- interpreted through multiple clinician handoffs
When the timeline is unclear, insurers may argue that the injury wasn’t caused by anesthesia care—or that it was a risk that couldn’t have been prevented. The difference between a stalled claim and settlement momentum is often whether your attorney can reconstruct the event sequence and pin down where the care team fell below the expected standard.
