In this medical malpractice action, defendants Buffa, Brand, and Alliance failed to establish entitlement to judgment as a matter of law as to plaintiff’s claims that, inter alia, Dr. Buffa failed to devise an anesthesiology plan sufficient to sedate and anesthetize plaintiff during her cataract surgery, and that Brand failed to notice and address that plaintiff was experiencing increasing levels of pain during the procedure (see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]).
