  1. Where is that 'moderation' when a BB needs it? Kindly take your insults, your Major Diety attitude and your braggadocio elsewhere.
  2. Take it one day at a time. Plan ahead, yes; prepare yourself mentally, yes; but don't borrow trouble from the future. Stewing about it now is
  3. aa's

    The A$A will tell you that MDAs 'control' 90% of the anesthetics in America. Don't believe it. Half the hospitals in America use CRNAs only.
  4. aa's

    Many things 'look a bit off' when one professional group tries to define and denigrate their competition. Perhaps the A$A means that one third of CRNAs entered the field before a bachelor's degree...
  5. As with so many aspects of clinical technic, IMHO there is no 'right' way, but a thousand different ways to skin the cat. Different strokes for different folks. For one thing, of course not all...
  6. Anesthesia providers do face a high risk of chemical dependency; latest numbers show it to be (over the course of a career) one in five. Yes, 20%.
  7. AA question

    Two points: the majority of open positions on gasworks advertizing may mean that those 100% directed positions are revolving doors, i.e. 'dumbed-down' subjugated CRNAs are what those MDAs demand....
  8. Very confusing stuff, T-Tom. First, CRNAs are paid the same local rate as MDAs by Medicare under Part B. Anesthesia is anesthesia. CRNAs were the first APRNs to be granted independent Medicare...
  9. Yes. And beyond the economics is the sea change in the social status of American women in general. Why should they subject themselves to a role like the doctor's handmaiden when they have the power...
  10. Seattle anyone???

    Look into the AANA's program of subsidizing students attending Annual. Individual CRNA members sponsor each student, I believe.
  11. Here's a link. Some ASA distortion and mis-statements, but lots of info: http://www.outpatientsurgery.net/2003/os09/anesthesia_provider_shortage.php?pg=2
  12. For those among us who are overweight: "You cannot dodge responsibility for how and why your life is the way it is. If you don't like your job, you are accountable. If you are overweight, you are...
  13. Hear, hear. I am tickled! And now, censorship. Very sad. I'm gonna call Howard Stern and complain loudly. Not.

  15. Oh please, go grow a sense of humor, folks.

  17. That's what the DELETE button is for. Sorry you took it personally. Perhaps you might ask yourself why you are so overly sensitive? Your BMI?

  19. Labor analgesia can be troublesome, but spinal C-sections are my personal all time favorite procedure to attend. deepz Joke removed due to inflamatory nature of it. By
  20. Clinical Question

    **** the literature. Not every clinical observation gets written up. Where do you get these ideas? Physician, correct thy own misconceptions.
  21. Clinical Question

    Actually ... wrong. Having seen the phenomenon on a number of occasions in strong young male patients, I can assure you that it can and does occur.
  22. Clinical Question

    As Tenesma says, laryngospasm will precede negative pressure induced PE; so will a patient biting the ET shut upon emergence. You don't mention either episode before the desats began, so I'm left to...
  23. Pardon my asking, but are you not a resident in training?
