This is what people don't understand about radiology also, Technically you have about 100 chances per day to frick up and kill or injure someone. Even when I sit in a chair all day, I'm tired as hell when I get home. I know it sounds absurd, but my 14 weeks off are badly needed. Burnout is an issue.

I love Anesthesiology but the CRNA's governing organization is so anti-physician it's nauseating. They push and push for independent practice despite churning out more and more inferior nurses to fill their tuition-funded coffers. We've hired 4 new grads over the past 4 years and it truly frightens me how ill-prepared they are. We've had to extend "orientation" to 6 months on 2 of them before they can be in a room alone. One locums we got had to be let go two weeks in because he routinely endangered patients lives by his idiocy. But sad to say, midlevels are the future for many specialties.

Not to mention the new DNP or DNAP (Doctor of Nursing Practice or Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice) bullshite they are doing now. One of our locums CRNAs has one.
How to get it? 1 week of classroom work per semester for a total of 4 semesters interspersed with weekly research papers. Completely non-clinical training for 2 years and you're a "Doctor". Totally legit...

You sound like one of those MD's that gets his feelings hurts when someone doesn't address you as "Dr. ______."
And your previous statement is incorrect.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned GI or Plastics yet...both very viable and lucrative in private practice

Couldn't care less about being addressed as Dr. I introduce myself by my first name to my patients. It's actually the exact opposite from the nurses who add acronyms ad nauseam to their titles. I have seen nurses sign their charts CRNA, ARNP, DNAP. I dropped the MD from my signature from the get go.
And please explain how my previous statement (not sure which you are referring to) is incorrect.

at your generalizations then. Are your EM docs board certified EM residency trained? It's unfortunate, but most docs that meet that qualification will not be going to a small rural hospital, with some exceptions.
