STAT outpatient pre-op, is this a thing?

I've been seeing a lot of requests to stat clear patients, were talking same week or 24 hours for things like retinal detachments, muscle tears, and other ortho problems- trimalleolar fracture with nonunion and severe pain was my turning point- never seen a man cry from so much pain and still be told "no opiates" by surgical schedulers.

I was always taught if the procedure is needed that urgently then no amount of pre-op is going to change the outcome, thus you need to do the surgery.

This feels like a dump on the PCP both legally and paperwork wise- most likely because it's a CRNA doing the anesthesia.

So meddit, whats your take on "stat" pre-ops *(aside from them being easy visits in most cases)

What's the legal ramification if the surgeon fucks up or there is a complication? Would I be on the hook if I did the pre-op but OFF the hook if I did not do a pre-op on these stat patients?
