I don't see why the the anesthesiologist should not be held liable in this case (and possibly the hospital). In my opinion, it would be very reasonable for them both to pay a significant penalty.
These abnormally low (and capped) penalties make it easier for those who should not be doing this work to keep showing up every day. I understand that we don't want to scare people in health care out of the field, but those who are clearly inept certainly should be afraid to keep working.
