Some strong rhetoric by the ASA president:
I'll give him props only if he can cut out some of the MOCA BS.

ASA is not the ABA.
he spoke at PGA this year. isn't he leaving? He introduced the next ASA president
The term of ASA president is one year. I assume he was introducing the president elect.

Good. About time.
I'm not an Arizona resident but I sent my letter in anyway. No telling where it will end up.
Yeah I signed the letter.
However, we will see how many even stand up and do anything.
The viewcount seems very low and the CRNAs are far more aggressive.
Dont know what the F is wrong with most physicians to be honest. Most are passive as hell.
yeah docs are useless in a fighti guess they used up all their energy on 10 yrs of post college training
Same here but the CRNAs will bombard the opposite message.
From the video itself, the downvotes are 2 to 1 already on the ASA OWN YOUTUBE VIDEO.
I suspect the letters will be that or worse to Congress members.
Most docs will just sit on their butt and do jack squat while it burns.
Update:
Arizona Governor Signs Law Maintaining Physician Presence and Direction

American Society of Anesthesiologists - Arizona Governor Signs Law Maintaining Physician Presence and Direction
On April 21, 2017, Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ) signed into law legislation (SB 1336) that preserves physician direction of anesthesia in the state. Additionally, the new law maintains physician presence when anesthesia is delivered by a nurse anesthetist. The physician directing anesthesia must be within the same health care institution or office and available as necessary. The new law also includes language providing immunity to physicians or surgeons working with nurse anesthetists; the language states that “a physician or surgeon is not liable for any act or omission of a certified registered nurse anesthetist who orders or administers anesthetics…” This language renders nurse anesthetists liable for their actions when ordering or administering anesthesia.
Does it matter? Think California Kansas Alaska Iowa North Dakota South Dakota etc had republicans governors when they opted out?Thank God it wasn't a Democrat

Did we just skip over this part?? This seems incredible to me. Hopefully more states follow this suit
They softened the language on surgeon responsibility considerably about one year ago:
