Yes, I graduated Medical School (M.D.) and a top ten residency in Anesthesiology. I have 25+ years of clinical experience. But, I'm an MDA fortunate enough to work with CRNAs who are much smarter than me.😉 From time to time they even listen to my suggestions.

Cool, just checking. I’m surprised someone with your academic prowess would refer to themselves as a “MDA”. 🙂

When I started using that title more than a decade ago my point was to explain to the residents what the future held; well, I really think MDA seems more appropriate with each passing year as the blurring of the lines has only gotten worse. I'll probably end my career working exactly as an
"MDA" making 20% more than my CRNA "colleagues" who put in 1/3 of my effort/work/time to earn their Independent practice.

You think this is a commentary on them, but it's a commentary on you
 
What is with people being bothered by @BLADEMDA? He is harmless. He may accuse you of TOS violation, but he is unprovocative. He seems not to get too riled up when people attack/talk about him. So many other rough/tough people on this board.

I find him to be quite easy. And I thought the MDA thing was always a silly joke from him, to show what the CRNAs think of us.

I have no problem with blade, he’s one of the best members on here. I really had been meaning to ask for years why he’d purposely call himself an asshol3
