"My first reaction upon hearing the Government is planning to train nurses to perform surgery was to wonder what patients will make of it. There has been no consultation with the very people who will be affected by this radical proposal. How would you feel about the prospect of being operated on by a competent nurse, rather than an experienced surgeon?"

When will the ASA write a piece entitled: "CRNAs have better things to do than lobby to perform an anesthetic without Anesthesiologist Supervision"?
