Did you have awareness under anesthesia and how did you know that the vaporizer was dry? How did you know it was "sevo"? Your statements should be reserved for the court room and not here where the only agenda I hear is anti CRNA bullshit. If you want to see the latest real data check out this study that demonstrates CRNA safety head to head with any provider: <a href="http://www.aana.com/optoutstudy/" rel="nofollow">Out Patient Study</a> What a crock of shit story are you trying to weave.

Don't go around spouting nonsense. If you feel more comfortable with an anesthesiologist that is fine but do not tell me or any others that nurse anesthetists are not safe. You are totally wrong and the courts have supported the evidence. If you want to see real evidence that CRNA's results are as good as any provider check this <a href="http://www.aana.com/optoutstudy/" rel="nofollow">study.</a> There is NO EVIDENCE that an MD anesthesia provider is safer than a Nurse anesthetist.

I have nothing against CRNA's, if a patient wants to receive anesthesia from a nurse (CRNA) that's fine with me. I do not and don't believe that a CRNA will ever equal an anesthesiologist, but I believe that they have a role (closely supervised). I was attended to by a capable CRNA at a hospital while serving in the military; I was severely burned while my aircraft was being refuled and I was glad to have the CRNA while I underwent lengthly debridements and skin grafts. CRNA's were all the military had, but I have to say that my CRNA did a great job. She kept my screaming to a minimum, so I'm grateful. But back in civilian life, I'll choose an anesthesiologist. My wife is a physician and agrees that CRNA's are useful when supervised. I can't see where a CRNA's salary is relevant to this discussion; for me it's all about patient safety. My salary is in excess of most physicians and (thankfully) I can see any practitioner that I want to see. My choice is an anesthesiologist not a CRNA, but that doesn't mean that I think that nurses are unqualified for advanced roles. My PCP (I guess PCNP) is a nurse practitioner and she's as sharp a any doctor.....I just don't think that anesthesia is a safe arena for CRNA's to practice without supervision.

I guess Bush did an excellent job. We should have kept him if we could, so our country could drive in the dung hole even further. Bush and McCain said, "The economy is strong" Wow! We just keep doing the same process that never works. As long as your wallets are fat who cares. Keep the Bush era alive. Oh boy, people are always afraid of change.

I am just a registered nurse, but if I ever go back to school it would be a tough choice between going for a nurse anesthetist or a nurse practitioner. I think I would be the type to get stressed if a patient started coding or something though lol. Congrats to Geoff on joining your team.

Yes, I am a knucklehead and I did vote for the man from Illinois. No so sure about it now but yes the illegal flooding the health care system is a back breaker! For the Record I am a registered Republican. Go figure. Hey, Leonard – thanks. Yes, I am a knucklehead and I did vote for the man from Illinois.

It's what I would expect from someone in the midst of the bastion of liberalism. Under Obama and the liberal regime in California you find yourself broke and flooded with illegals, which go hand in hand. This Nobel awarding is quite reminicent of the general election that placed this pretender in office, a feely good action with no basis for making sense at all. Meanwhile he and his liberal toadies are single handedly destroying the health care system in this country on the backs of Medicare recipients and the middle class. Not quite the change OR the hope everyone was promised. As a matter of fact, I've not seen a promise fulfilled from this dolt except to radicalize the left wing of politics and lie at every turn of his arrogant head. The one good thing that has come from his "act" is he's no longer in Illinois and we say good ridence to this clown. If you think anyone has awakened it's the people who mistakenly voted for him and I think we'll see their slumber has ended and will produce a correction of their sleep walking ballot casting. You truely are hearing voices from the outside and if you prefer their guidance in our affairs, good luck. You absolute knucklehead.
