  1. From someone who posts an accusatory subject headline ("We have the wrong attitude") isn't it very curious that the accuser now won't respond to contrary opinions and posts, well, childish comparisons...
  2. CRNAs pass gas, AAs assist. They do not deliver anesthesia, AAs assist the doctor. It's right there in their title, plain as day. Assistant, yes; anesthetist, no. Or ... Alcoholics Anon. Whatever....
  3. Perhaps you have *us* confused with some other group, jrk. We are nurses here, CRNAs, SNRAs, and wannabees. Nurses. Check the heading on this ALLNURSES BB. Nurse anesthetists have been caring for...
  4. In a nutshell: "...the lower court erred when it interpreted the statutory language "assist" to allow AAs to perform epidurals, spinals, and invasive monitoring techniques. The board argued that the...

  6. And 400 of those are in Georgia?
  7. Please, Sandman, when you compare AAs and trained monkeys could you perhaps show a tad bit more kindness? Monkeys have tender feelings too, you know.
  8. Many disagree with your opinion but of course you are entitled to it. And with your 2000 posts, Lizz, certainly you *do* share your opinions freely! Good for you. As to WHY, in short, the NJ court...
  9. Somehow I doubt very much that you are a CRNA, projecting as you do this negativity. New Jersey ain't history yet. And while you await the next chapter: http://www.gaspasser.com/animal%20farm.html
  10. Ditto! Loisane rocks! Here's a page that touches on our unique position within the world of medicine. http://www.gaspasser.com/unique.html !
  11. I sympathize with you both and wish you well, but can't say I agree with you on this point. Young as they may be, why shield your children from the simple facts of economic life? -- pay now or do...
  12. Not really. The insurance coverages are the same, usually 1 mill per occurence, 3 mill aggregate max per year in most States, for EACH provider. Supervised or not, a CRNA will be named in a lawsuit...
  13. MDAs are sued seven times more often than CRNAs. Go figure. I'd guess that says a lot about the relative safety and patient satisfaction of the two providers. Therefore, CRNA insurance rates are...
  14. Why should an MD make more $ to provide the exact same service? Anesthesia is anesthesia. See the Pine study. $400K is just the tip of the iceberg; certain MDAs rake in over a million a year --...
  15. "Dude whatever"........
  16. Well, I'm just left to guess, Mike, that you are one of those folks who find it awfully hard to admit that they're mistaken. You asserted: "Under Colorado law, the delivery of anesthesia care by...
  17. Unless you are in possession, Mike, as I am, of the spiral bound document "Amendments to Standards for Hospitals and Health Facilities, 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter IV, General Hospitals, Section 7, Comments...
  18. Don't know where you came up with this info, Mike, but it is way outdated. To quote from Mark Oswald's (Pres CANA) letter to the Colorado Board of Health dated 21 MAY 2003: ".... As shown by the...
  19. Beg to differ here. We CANNOT leave it to the AANA to fight all our battles for us. Whenever the hearts and minds of newbies and wannabees are being fed lies and misleading A$A bulls**t it is...
  20. OB CRNA Hours

    1-- Not to doubt your veracity here, jrk -- very impressive numbers and all that bombast -- but ain't that the same joint where your boss says he did 300,000 anesthetics by his own self? 2-- When...
  21. Friday 6 May 2005 The 2005 legislative session ended with a final flurry of legislation passed -- but not HB 629/SB1452 or anything restricting the practice of CRNA's.
  22. "If you're not a socialist at 20, you have no heart. If not a capitalist at 40, you have no head." --- Anonymous
  23. Sorry, bro, you're in way over your head here. The Opted-Out States do indeed number 13 so far, yes, but that concerns only the Part A of Medicare, i.e., Conditions of Participation (COP) for...
