Anesthesiologist starting to get worried.. New study shows that nurse anesthetists don't need to be supervision by physicians. - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 15:56 25
- I thought annesthesia was the main reason patients died on the table, each person is more complicated than mere sex and #lbs of meat -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 16:04 18
  - Indeed. But silly to assume that safety is more important than money to the hospital. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:08 17
    - clearly, both safety and money are very important. if everyone always wanted the safest option in all instances, no one would ever complain about cost - TFox Aug 3, 16:26 13
      - Yeah, but like loosilu said, there are some places you don't want to go cheap. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:28 12
        
        how many people have been killed by nurse anesthesiologists compared to doctors? - TFox Aug 3, 16:33 1
        
        I haven't seen a study that shows that. I think there is limited data since not that many states have CRNA working without supervision. - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:37
        
        I think anyone who's worked any job ever can attest that having someone stand over your shoulder is not always productive. - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 16:32 9
        
        that's not the point, IMO. The anesthesiologist literally holds the patient's life in their hands. I want that person to be a doc. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 16:41 8
        
        Utterly meaningless if the results are the same. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 16:52 7
        
        Past performance does not guarantee future results. When talking about human life, people like their chances to be as good as possible. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 16:54 6
        
        as long as its free. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 16:57 2
        
        I don't want my brain surgeon, my heart surgeon, or my anesthesiologist to be free. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 17:03 1
        
        hehe, word. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 17:14
        
        Yeah, when you start catering to feelings over facts, that's when the unnecessary costs go up. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 16:56 2
        
        The study is not very convincing, factually. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 17:02 1
        
        Not when you're stubbornly & superficially stuck on "doctors trump nurses, period." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 17:47
    - (Well, the insurance companies and gov't are more to blame. The less they reimburse for services, the more the hospital will try to cut corners) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:10 2
      - how is it possible that providers and hospitals have no fault in driving up the cost of healthcare? -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 16:16 1
        
        I think a big increase is because of the technology available. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:23
- If I'm going to held in a near death state for a few hours, I want a doc to watch me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 15:57 5
  - Exactly, but places are going towards the CRNA model because it is obviously much cheaper. :( -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:00 4
    - that's literally the last place I want to economize. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 16:00 3
      - We've replaced loosi's scalpels with butter knives. Let's see if she notices. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 16:08 1
        
        not if the anny has done their job -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 16:13
      - Uh-huh, there are good reasons Aneasthologists are doctors. -- nm - the liioulu with paperback Aug 3, 16:02

- some player on espn quoted as "i'm not sure i care enough to have an opinion on it." - TFox Aug 3, 15:51
TFox thinks Lauren Holly isn't good looking, and ML thinks Christina Hendricks is unattractive. W. T. F? - musubi Aug 3, 15:44 4
- [deleted] 2
  - Disagree. But may have agreed with you before I started watching Mad Men. - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 16:04
  - I think she's really pretty overall, but wish she hadn't had such an extreme boob job. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 16:01
- lauren holly in beautiful girls looked exactly her part: a sad brokendown ex-hot kinda old chick. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 15:48

V for Vendetta or Children of Men. There is a discussion on the other board which is better - amoxy Aug 3, 15:26 12
- CoM -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 16:07
- Yeah. Children of Men. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 15:56
- if CofM is better then "V" then it is great movie indeed -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 15:46
- In my opinion, V for Vendetta is better. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 15:37
- Haven't seen V, but was less than impressed with Children. -- nm - the liioulu with paperback Aug 3, 15:35
- Children of Men by a mile -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 15:35 1
  - its not even close enough to make it a sensical poll. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 15:38
