Why is there an anesthesiologist on the Orange Blob's team ...

... was it in anticipation of intubation and putting him on the ventilator or was it to put him to sleep and shut him the f**k up?

4. Money is no object

They’ve probably got an OB/GYN on standby in case he gets grabby with the nurses.

9. These are a combination pulmonary and critical care specialists...

... They work in intensive care units. In effect the “White House medical unit” has become an ICU.

8. His condition might worsen and some sort of surgery

might be needed. I think its standard practice when there is a comprehensive medical team rather than just a primary care physician calling the shots... No pun intended.

14. I think intubation is a likely choice

His respiratory status is compromised and I believe they're trying to prevent intubation because 1) He's POTUS and there are ramifications to this, especially a few days before a general election 2) The survival rate is lower after intubation.
This is the reason they're giving him various experimental therapies. However, if all else fails there is a team on standby. The more I hear, the more a believe his status is a cause for concern and they're trying to conceal it. Things aren't adding up.
