I am currently a CA-2 resident in my civilian program and we had a Grand Rounds presenter talk to us about bioinformatics - but he also happened to be in the Navy Reserves and had been recently deployed to Kandahar AFB in Afghanistan. I got to talk to him about his experiences and - while definitely intriguing, still leave me with some questions.
He stated that he did all of his own cases while deployed, his active duty partners were in the same situation as he but when they were stateside with ASA 1-2 cases they supervised CRNAs.
My chairman (no military experience) tells me that CRNAs could be my superiors should I enlist as an anesthesiologist. How true is this?
And on that note, anyone else want to chip in about their experiences in military anesthesia?
