This senator is a total goon. From the bottom of the article:
“
Smalley said Oklahoma was one of only 10 states that required physician supervision of nurse anesthetists. Of the 40 in which the nurse anesthetists have more independence, 39 have better health outcomes than Oklahoma, Smalley said.
“We’re just never going to be able to improve health outcomes unless those that provide health care get on board and start thinking about things differently,” Smalley said. “The world is changing; medicine’s changing.””
Equating removing physician oversight to BETTER outcomes is nearly impossible defend and incredibly easy to pick apart. Good for OK.

Next time when he or his family needs surgery, get the all-nurse star team.
