Just a quick reminder about the "ignore" function the forum comes with. It will still show the quoted material though. Beat you to it Vent.
As a student, I tend to agree with JPP, Military, etc. If anyone has something that constructively contributes to and enhances the discussion, then by all means post away. However, this repetitive "we are as good as you and cheaper" or "our experience teaches us enough background to do anything" gets old. As a student I would have liked to learn more about the interactions that AA's, CRNA's and MD's have as they all have a role and place and none will go away as well as the boundaries each has in their profession. However, anytime anyone asks, no matter how it is asked, someone gets their panties in a wad. "A well-trained ICU nurse can do that" or "anesthesia is so easy, there is no need for an MD". If it seems that simple, then the intracacies are sadly missing from your background. Just because you can fly a Cessna doesn't mean you can fly the Raptor (and there better not be some smart@ss out there that says something stupid about "flying lessons in the forum" or something equally inane). Because of this attitude my education has suffered as I cannot hope to get any views of the system from other areas of the country and must rely on viewing at my home institution (and assume it works the same everywhere). Yes, some students' questions may seem ridiculous or, possibly, offensive but the question is being asked for the purpose of enlightenment. No one here came out of their mother's bottom knowing the answers, everyone started at the same place. The question can answered in a tactful way. JWK never (that I can remember) takes offense to incorrect perceptions about his work, consequently, unless you have a lack of self-esteem or have an inferiority complex, you shouldn't take offense either. The MD's that post here have been nothing but respectful to everyone (and I mean to everyone unless the poster was rude enough to get booted) until teh past two days. Some of us truly value their advice and need their advice. We can only hope that they will continue to post and not leave the forum.
And another thing, anyone not intelligent enough to recognize metaphor, simile, cliche, and other common parts of human language really shouldn't have human lives depend on them.
OK, exit soap box.
