it makes sense if theres one CRNA and one MD, but if you have 4 ORs that need to be staffed but there arent 4 anesthesiologists, then both you and the hospital and also the patients are SOL. Of course you can just up and leave, but that option isnt readily available to everyone.

Actually the economics of what i said is sound. Instead of 4 crnas and 1 anesthesiogist, they can hire 3 crnas and 2 anesthesiologists, have one go solo and the other with 3:1 coverage which is more reasonable and less stressful. And it wouldnt cost any more to implement this, based on the previous comment about crnas being overpaid and aneathesiologists being underpaid. You speak to these positions as being immutable, when infact there are some anesthesiologists (like myself) who will definitely consider solo or 3:1 that would otherwise not consider the 4:1 staffing ratio.

You wish people in charge would know or care about the ratio.
