Another thread peaked my interest on this issue. How fast is the AA profession gaining ground? I thought they were able to practice in only 2 or 3 states last year, but now it sounds like they are able to practice in 16? Will they be able to practice in even more states soon? Comments appreciated
AA's are nothing but PA's being used and abused by doctors. CRNA, s are independent and no ones puppet!! CRNA's stand strong by themselves. AA's are proteced by the AMA and can not call their profession their own.
Uh, gee, but let's not forget that about 2/3 or more of CRNA's work with/for anesthesiologists.

All these years and you still swallow that particular A$A propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Perhaps you need to get out of Atlanta more often. Have you also seen any MDA personally perform 300,000 anesthetics by himself lately?
Frogive my ignorance, but what does it mean to 'opt out'?
Go to www.aana.com and learn all about the CRNA profession.

You need to re-read my post. I didn't say that 80-85% of Texas counties didn't have hospitals. I said many of them don't. It may be perfectly true that 80% don't have an anesthesiologist. But the fact remains that many of them don't have a hospital, so they probably don't have a CRNA either.
