  1. CRNA malpractice costs

    deepz replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nowhere that I know of does any State mandate 5 mill/10 mill. Are you still saying they do? Is not 1 mill/ 3 mill the standard, as I said? With few exceptions, that's the same coverage CRNAs must...

  2. CRNA malpractice costs

    deepz replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not strictly on those terms. http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/straw.htm

  3. CRNA malpractice costs

    deepz replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'd have to guess that you are a resident MDA, out trolling. Welcome to the CRNA BB. I'm personally familiar with the insurance requirements of several states and none that I know of have the 5...

  4. CRNA malpractice costs

    deepz replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One possible reason: National Practitioner Data Bank says MDAs are sued with 7 times the frequency of CRNAs.

  5. Anesthesia Paper Ideas

    deepz replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The AANA seems to always be at the back of the bus, and near the end of the line-up to the trough of Medicare $$. Their figures do say MDAs cost $635,000 to train, versus $59,000 for a CRNA. Doesn't...

  6. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, what can one say about such ignorant speculation? The 50/50 conditions you cite, TD, apply only to Medicare reimbursement. (And you furnish no references!) It appears you might possibly need...

  7. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Exactly. I've often heard it said that there really is no provider shortage in American anesthesia. Only a maldistribution of providers. On the one hand, some folks say, get the docs away from...

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My local potter friend Chyako Hashimoto will be disappointed to learn of your high esteem for her favorite proverb from her native village of Mashiko. Really, doctor, your snottiness titer has...

  10. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Angry? WTF. Quite the ... interesting ... manner of argument you display. Perhaps you might re-read post #64 in this thread in its entirety. It's a joke, doctor; a mere attempt to demonstrate the...

  11. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OMG. Can't change a leopard's spots. Can we really have a free and open conversation, grounded in the here and now, if your preconceptions keep getting in the way? Legislate our way into exactly...

  12. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How about DOA? Would you accept that? 'Doctor Of Anesthesia'? Seriously, of course the MDA thing only started as shorthand, much as CRNA compresses the polysyllabic...

  13. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congressional committee testimony (under oath??) during his presidency of the ASA ... what? ... 4-5 years

  14. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Undoubtedly. So do I. But to categorically deny that anesthesia is ALSO the practice of nursing flies in the face of reality. It is both. Of course the ASA does not represent all...

  15. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It appears from other posts that TD does NOT accept anesthesia as ALSO a practice of nursing, and therefore insists it to be exclusively the practice of medicine, even though the ASA itself has...

    See message # 14 on this thread as to opinions.

  17. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    deepz replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not consumer info? Looks like it to me. Perhaps as a doc you don't like to read that half the MDAs in America are not board certified, but otherwise how is this anti-anesthesiologist? Page two of...

    Dear jrk, Opinions are like A$Aholes: everyone's got one. BTW, Personal attacks do not advance your

  21. Why don't CRNA's like AA's

    deepz replied to ep71's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Snotty to the last. As an old soldier I will refuse, under the terms of the Geneva Convention, to deal harshly in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

  22. Why don't CRNA's like AA's

    deepz replied to ep71's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, snotty, my dear jwk, GeorgiaAA, or whatever pseudonym you hide behind this week. I seriously doubt that I am the only person on this CRNA/SRNA board growing tired of your repititious...

  23. Surgeon Bashes CRNAs in Vogue Magazine

    deepz replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Matt, please! NO STATE has EVER required a CRNA to work with an MDA. Important distinction: the twelve Opt-Out states have simply removed the titular 'supervising' role from the surgeon or any other...

  25. Hospitals with NO nurse anesthetists

    deepz replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Confusion arises when unfounded presuppositions get in the way. 'Physician direction or collaboration' does not mean 'anesthesiologist supervision.' Any physician will do. The A$A generally wishes...
