I think anyone who's worked any job ever can attest that having someone stand over your shoulder is not always productive.

If the physician supervision doesn't affect results, then it doesn't affect results.

If the study is biased, then that's another argument.

But spending money on things that sound good but don't improve care is not wise.

Responses:

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

    - 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
