Anaesthetists have accused the ABC of tarnishing their reputation and unnecessarily alarming patients after a Four Corners report alleged that most anaesthetists were exaggerating the time involved in spinal surgeries to milk Medicare.

@themathendo If you actually did some research, (just like Four Corners), you would see that there are some terrible inaccuracies and biases in this report
@adam_jacobson @abcnews@adele_ferguson This story is so full of bias and factual misinformation. Let’s just take one: Anaesthetist time does not start when the surgery starts and stops! A simple bit of research examining the Medicare handbook would have refuted this.
It is sad to see the @abcmelbourne resorting to biased, unbalanced reporting and discussion on @4corners. Perhaps they could actually check their facts before doing a story?
