Would you ever see a PA in Anesthesiology? If you would, what exactly would they do?

Exactly. They're called AA's. The last I checked, 14 states had either programs, or had passed legislation recognizing the AA profession. This is sure to grow, but will be met with continued resistance from the AANA.

Its actually 18 states currently http://www.anesthesiaassistant.com/ and I expect at least 1 (maybe two) more states within the next two years.
