Responses:

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
