re: Defeat the Nurse Practitioner scope of practice expansion - Louisiana SB 187

Crnas know anesthesia. For all walks of life and that's all we care to know because that's all we do. That's why we aren't doctors. We are anesthetist.

Ignoring your absolutely idiotic statement about outside of anesthesia, you've repeatedly said your anesthesia training is comparable.

Except it's not.

You're what most of the physicians in this thread have warned about. You have no idea what you don't know, which is scary.

But you're apparently God's gift to anesthesia despite starting your career wiping asses and I should be bowing to your abilities.

Good luck to you.

So inside of the VA system where complication rates are well known to be high across all specialties and patients, and where the best and the brightest are seldom found, you think it is a bad idea to specify that the physician oversight you are already required to practice under be from a physician in the specialty of Anesthesia?


Considering you have repeatedly voiced that a singular restricted knowledge of anesthesia for some one who provides anesthesia is sufficient for patient care, I find this to be quite the conundrum.

I know exactly what I don't know outside of anesthesia care. Y'all can't seem to see the difference between the two.

It's ok......I didn't do a urology rotation or a general surgery rotation.

I never once said I'm gods gift to anything either. But I can do anesthesia and I'm aware of my limitations in that speciality.

Doctors fear disease, complications, and trouble for patients. And we fear failure in treating disease or making mistakes, both of which can lead to death

Anesthesia is an art.....science is intricate part of the art.

Your type is precisely whats wrong with the direction medicine is heading in.

You knew what the limitations were for the profession of CRNA and yet you chose that path.

Now through, legislation, (NOT EDUCATION) you would like to practice medicine without actually being an MD.

Sorry, it has not, it does not, and it should not work this way. Crna's are pushing this, just like the NP's and its all about the ability to expand your income with complete disregard for patient advocacy.

How can a physician that is not an anesthesiologist effectively supervise the delivery of anesthesia? Legal or not, that makes no sense. Just a legislative battle CRNAs have won in their attempt to practice medicine without being a physician.
