@jlh945 No, you have no rights. If you have insurance, private or government, they dictate where and who will work on you. If you are paying cash, you can pick the place and the providers to provide your care.
When they tell you where to go, you do not realize that they are also telling you which Pathologist is looking at your specimens and which Radiologist is reading your X-rays, and which group of anesthetists is providing your anesthetic.
I had propofol and would be dead if the person admisintering it was not an anesthesiologist...............initially, a CRNA gave the drug, my BP dropped and she didn;t know what to do...thankfully an anesthesiologist took over and saved me., "CRNA/nurse anesthesia? never again.. my CRNA had only 22 months of nurse-anesthetist school and was cluless about medicine...........
@alliedification Not to discount your experience but CRNAs do almost all military anesthesia and a great deal of other surgery. Adverse outcomes can and do happen with even board certed anesthesiologists. Again sorry about your experience but this really isn't the venue for your compllaints.
@KateWu2 ...."venue"? hardly a venue., but it certianly is a place to express an opinion. CRNA do most military anesthesia simply because the military can't attract anesthesiologists because of pay and many other issues; military personnel are a captive audience and you basically have to take what you get (20 years experienec 0-5, thank you very much). Comparing the training of a CRNA to that of the MD/DO anesthesiologist is absurd.
@alliedification WoW! If you had said you were a zero I would have let the comment pass. Please be serious, why did you stay 20 if the pay/conditions were so poor? When did I ever say they were the same thing? Had the same experience or training? I said that they do a lot of anesthesia safely all over the world, and you are welcome to do it without anesthesia next time.
@KateWu2 FYI: O-5 is a military pay grade; in the USAF it's Lt. Col. My 20 were part pay back for education and reserve time; my specialty was very well paid. I saw the military CRNA situation first hand. You did not make that comment, my apologies..I had just read that CRNA argument on another site. My issue is with unsupervised CRNA only; properly supervised, I'm sure that many CRNA do good work.
@jlh945 No matter how much you train on dummies, it's always so much more different on a real person given the added stress of ACTUALLY having to do it as quick as possible and the variations in human tracheal anatomy! To be honest, that is really not the worst I have seen :P !
His throat would be fine if she used sufficient lubricant (haha...) the only thing that could go wrong is chipping the teeth with the laryngoscope (which she didn't do) or hypoxia but nobody takes thaaaat long!
Thanks for posting. Next time I need an operation I'll be sure to brush my teeth really well and use an extra Scope treatment!

@jlh945
they are practicing under a doctors license and they have the training. Without people doing this, nobody would be experienced.
