1. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

   swumpgas replied to Sheri257's topic in CRNA

   These practices were accepted and written for the AA's by their overseers, the ASA, to get the foot in the door. Note the "control factors" built in by their "creators" so this is the legal issue. as far as clinical difference, there is no date to sh...

2. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   Let me divert the thread.. AMA is considering FMG (Foreign Medical Graduates) (IMG to be politically correct), that do not meet standards for an internsahip in the US to get licensure, for rolls in medicine. Possibly working as NURSES. in the US a...

3. CRNA ACNP combination

   swumpgas replied to anthobaca's topic in CRNA

   Just something to think about... conflicts in rolls in regard to standards, eg: prescriptive authority. I believe as an FNP, you need protocals, and the approved formulary? to work with? CRNAs have bypassed Prescriptive authority by choice as it wo...

   swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   This is exactly the way the MDA's want it, LEGISLATED control of anesthesia competitors. It is a matter of control. Right now, the autonomy of the CRNAs and the fact that NO states require supervision of a CRNA by an anesthesia MD , they do not have...

6. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   I would be interested in some honest input from your friend that changed to CRNA anesthesia. The A$A is always touting CRNA's that have become MDA's, posting quotes about how "undertrained" they were as CRNA's That's a matter of the school and desi...

   swumpgas replied to Sheri257's topic in CRNA

   There is a lot od MIS information spread by MDA, finding studies that can be twisted to show something. these have all been shot down as irrelevant or or misleading. Just a few links to verify this and others: http://www.aana.com/patients/hcfa/past...

   swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   Who actually did your anesthesia? are you sure it was personally done by that MDA, or just saw a white coat appear, do you pre op chat, then turn you over to a CRNA to actually do the work. In bigger "Team" places, you may be so doped up that you do...

10. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    swumpgas replied to Sheri257's topic in CRNA

    There are definitely moves afoot, snuck into legisation by ASA minions to begin AA training programs in other states. Many have been shot down.. Also surreptitious attemptst to introduce AA's into the VA healthcare system. Now a given of the VA h...

    swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

    It is a matter of correcting misinformation spread by yourself and your MDA masters. Lies will not go unchallenged, just as touted studies by the ASA in regard to saftey of anestheisa (Silber, Pine et all), but did not stand up to scrutiny by indep...

12. CRNAs vs. Anesthesiologist

    swumpgas replied to Nikinels's topic in CRNA

    There never has been a requirement that CRNA's be supervised by and anesthesiolgist (MDA), only a doctor, generally the supervising surgeon, and that only applied in about 27 states. The Bush administration, rather that follow the recommendations of...

    swumpgas replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

    Ahh, the difference in background training... can you give an enema and not have the sheets all discolored? When you spend time ducking Mortar fire in combat in Vietnam and trying to provide safe anesthesia to our troops, I'll consider your statement...
