So I found an interesting link on the AANA webpage, and I was curious what the group thought about it. I guess the AANA is currently trying to develop guidelines for fellowship programs in pain management for CRNAs. http://www.aana.com/accreditation...

Then he posts his little anecdote about physician arroganceInteresting, because you see, I saw it as a general posting about the value of humility and indirectly, the danger of arrogance/complacency, coincidentally (or not) using a resident's thought...

Hellllllo Nurse, I would hate to disappoint you, so here I am. I've been incredibly busy with my own training to get back here as often as I'd like. There are a lot of things in your message that I'd like to respond to. Here goes. Sorry that ha...

Oh come on deepz, you don't have to long for the past, you're plenty ignorant and full of yourself now ... I imagine it would make up for an entire life of humility. You're right Lalaith, I may have misread Deepz. This I will freely admit. But, i...

'Stalker' deepz? No not quite. But I have a keen sense of smell, and I'm able to follow the scent of BS from one website and to another. It's not rocket science. Hellllllo Nurse, I agree, there is a huge difference in the sub-standard nursing loun...

Deepz, While I think that anecdote from the resident is educational in sheading light on the experience of training physicians, it does not really apply here. You're comparing the experience of a second year resident in emergency medicine as they pr...

It's a ridiculous comparison, and if you would ever use such a comparison in a setting that wasn't anonymous like this message board, people would think you were ridiculous. It's ridiculous that you would defend it, though at 60, you'd know better t...

Yet another really offensive comparison of CRNA's to slaves by sleepy. You're on a role man. Nobody is oppressing you Sleeepy. Nobody lied to you about what being a CRNA would entail, and nobody twisted your arm not to become an anesthesiologist. ...

So yeah, that's pretty offensive, comparing the "plight" of nurse anesthetists making more than 100k a year PLUS overtime to the actual plight of a race of people who had to come out from under the foot of hundreds of years of slavery and legalized o...

I am. TD

thanks, though i knew what you were getting at the first time, it was a rhetorical question. but that's my fault, i gave you an excuse for a diatribe, i can't really complain when you do. though maybe it'll make you feel better if you look at the si...

Lemme guess Deepz, you turn into a pumpkin? TD

I'm sure you've heard the surgery saying ... "Sometimes in error ... never in doubt." I do my fair share of moaning and groaning about the attitude of surgeons, but I think it takes a certain healthy amount of bravado to think that you can affect hea...

Gaspassah, I haven't had a chance to say, but I REALLY appreciate the court cases you posted. I wish I could say that I've had time to look them up, I haven't. I've just been too busy with work stuff recently. I will take a look at some point, jus...

I agree that I think this test shows whether or not medical students can talk to people, but in the form of a history and physical exam. I think you're making this into more of a personality test, like I said before, and I don't think that's the poi...

What kind of test do you think this is? It's not a personality test, it's not to test if you're a sociopath or a bad people person. Here's a blurb from the USMLE webpage. "Purpose Statement. Step 2 CS assesses whether an examinee can demonstrate th...

So I'm not really sure, what was wrong with that statement that made? I said absolutely nothing about anesthesiologists or supervision, not a thing. All the things you wrote about have to do with increased knowledge, which is exactly what I was tal...

Loisane, you had so much to say, I can't really comment on it all, so I've kind of bitten of chunks and pieces. As always, your comments were great. I'm not sure if this is totally true, and I don't think it's necessarily propaganda. I think you'...

Like I said before, not a comment about things you said that weren't actually true, or only partially true, just attacks on me. You're right, I called you childish, and I even gave reasons why. Everyone else can decide if they agree or disagree. And...

TennRN2004, I agree with you, it is a struggle and a sacrafice for the families of physicians in training ... my spouse would be more than happy to tell you all about it. :) As for anesthesiologists being superior to nurse anesthetists ... I have to...

Deepz, You're just a tough guy to have a discussion with - partially because of childish things like 'A$A', but mostly because you say things that either aren't really true, or only partially true, don't ever give references, and then when somone cal...

Check out some of these links, interesting stuff out there. http://www.asahq.org/Newsletters/2002/12_02/greene.html http://www.aana.com/press/2002/111302.asp http://www.aegis.com/news/ads/2003/AD032201.html http://www.news-star.com/stories/120802/hea...

Someone is a little touchy, don't you think? You yourself have not been doing anything for a 100 years, so stop saying it as though you have. Really though, isn't that what's happening deepz? You think you do what an anesthesiologist does, just as w...
