    I can agree with this. I also know that I'm one sheep in a nation of sheep so there must be millions of others. But that doesn't make the Republicans palatable running someone as defective as

    This discussion was almost exactly the same when I graduated in 1984. Tit for tat. If you don't like the team concept, move on. We have more MDA's in bigger centers because we need an assortment to...

    Many years ago (back in the 80's?), a study was done by Kaiser with anesthesiologists and CRNA and they shockingly:) agreed that 90% of cases don't need supervision at all. That struck home with me....
