Misscherrie-most patients are lucky if they see their anesthesiologist for even 5 minutes before surgery, and this "exam" is only for billing purposes; the anesthesia is provided by a nurse (CRNA) and that gets really dangerous. "untrusting" of doctors? I would tell you my profession, but you would flip out....I have some experience in this area. best

Phillip-I'm commenting on a profession that I'm very familiar with and lots of anesthesiologists share my view; perhaps a little less rabid. Some want to practice anesthesiology not supervise nurses. It's a sad fact that the main reason for having an MDA supervising CRNA's in an outpatient setting is to generate another bill; the "supervision" is very thin; to the point of being non-existant. ANd patient care has suffered by the dilution of substituting a CRNA (nurse) for a MDA.

Oh hai! Have you considered anxiety zero technique (I think its at anxiety0.info)? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate pretty much cured anxiety with it.

@phillipngyn Dude seriously you don't need to be smart to do this job... grabage men are more skilled.. and they don't ask you to kiss their asses or charge three times the normal fee..

I did, report her. I had her investigated by the state government because when I required pain drugs after having nerves severed and ending up permamantly disabled she called me a "junky" in front of other patients then deliberately gave me morphine which i am allergic to and made me puke my guys out. After I complained she wrote me an abusive letter.

did u confront him with the doctors and nurses or did u let it go? JUST wondering

[phillipngyn]

why don't you go to med school or nursing school and try to be specialize in anesthesia, wait you not smart enough.

[MiSSCHERRi09]

That is rude. I would feel the same way if that happened to me!

[MiSSCHERRi09]

I can't believe some of these people : Like how can you degrade a profession? That is rude and insulting to those docters and aspiring ones. SMH
