Regarding CRNAs practicing independantly of MDs......
I was reading through all the threads about CRNAs and the recent laws that have passed. I would think that this will be limited in the future by liability. I'd expect trial lawyers to jump all over this.
Anesthesia goes wrong at times. Imagine the 18 year-old woman getting an out-patient plastic surgery proceedure who has a bad reaction and dies while under the care of a CRNA. I'd think it would look really bad in court and that the media would jump on it. Or if a hospital had a similar event with no MDA there. Liability!
Any ideas...........
