Demand in 2012 for MDA

Forgive me if I'm beating this topic to death.

Any good investigations into this especially from a political front.

My interest is getting involved politically to defend MD anesthesiology versus the idea of extender replacements. And let's not forget, our bottom line too. Protecting the current higher salaries is important because cuts are inevitable and slowing the hemorrhage is important, which is present in most specialties.

And remember if "_____'s" man Bush a.k.a Obama is elected, then we need to be very active now before the inauguration.

Who are other people to cry healthcare fairness as an excuse to marginalize us!! All people are CREATED equal. Fine. But that doesn't necessarily apply when they are 21 and over.

Wrong forum.

while I certainly understand the strong desire to prevent degenerating threads before they even get off the ground, I do think that the OP has a point in wanting to help create unity among physicians to help fight for what we believe is right for the future of healthcare. It is often easiest to begin within one's own specialty. There is substantial unity within other industries, yet physicians are often too politically uninvolved- and we all too often fight WITH each other rather than try to fight FOR each other. Awareness is the first step....so while I hate the flame war threads as much as everyone else, I don't think we should be so quick to quiet those who want to speak civilly about political issues that will very much affect us all sooner than we might think. Just my 2 cents.

Unless Jerry Lewis finds the cure suddenly, I suspect that the demand for MDA will continue to be strong.

There's a forum for the topic brought up in the OP, and this isn't it. In that forum, this topic would be completely appropriate, as well as completely beat to death.

That said, the demand for MDA will always be less than the related compound MDMA, though raver demographics may change by 2012.

The MDA will continue to be important well into the future as China continues to industrialize and grow into a world economy, there is uncertainty about Russia's longterm intentions, and we continue to see political instability in the Middle East coupled with the development of nuclear capabilities in Iran.

MDA is a fantastic hospital. It is also very well funded and should be in great shape in 2012.

HA HA HA! Gotta love being an MDA.

Just in case the OP doesn't understand the last few posts, I'll explain.

Anesthesiologists find the term MDA offensive. You don't refer to a surgeon as an MDS.

 

[deleted50478]

I'm all for defending the specialty but I don't see what the MDA has to do with it.

 

[fakin' the funk]

I don't think anyone expects demand for the NMDA receptor to go anywhere by 2012.

Yes, I realize that 1. this is a useless post and 2. Wikipedia is not the most widely respected source of information. I guess we're all trying to entertain ourselves until Thursday. 🙄

MDA is a term coined and used by our quasi-professional collegues.

There is the anesthesiologist.

And then there are his/her nurses and assistants. Period.

Have you ever heard of a MDS? MD surgeon. Not to be confused with the first assistant and/or scrub tech.

Ridiculous.

Might happen. I've seen surgical PAs start cases on their own before the surgeon arrives. Right, wrong, indifferent? It happens.

Sorry.

Just use to the short form rather than writing anesthesiologist.

No disrespect was meant of course.

Well, now you know. It is a term that is clearly not endorsed by the majority of practicing anesthesiologists. In other words, in the future don't be lazy. 😉

I thought the company preferred ArcherDanielsMidland?
