Dr. Barry Friedberg comments on David vs. Goliath: Who's Really in the Pursuit of Patient Safety & Satisfaction?

Dr. Friedberg vs. The American Society of Anesthesiologists, Action vs. Rhetoric
CORONA DEL MAR, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- One doctor against 43,000 doesn't seem like very fair odds.

The first modern brain activity monitor was FDA approved in 1996 and subsequen
