@jzocca@kari_jerge So a brand new attending day one out of residency is better than a CRNA of 20 years? I completely disagree. Training isn’t everything. When you don’t sit in an OR (like, ever), how can you even claim to be a “provider”? What do you “provide”? Moral support?
@stockwell_c@kari_jerge@Liz76692324 What makes you think a provider trained in critical care medicine with a Masters or Doctorate degree is incapable of handling “surprise adverse reactions”? Truly curious.
@kari_jerge CRNA here. I can honestly say I do my best anesthetics when I’m unsupervised. I’ve worked with some GREAT MDAs, but they have a place and a time. Definitely not necessary for every anesthetic. Solo CRNAs are solo because they’re smart and capable providers. 100% would trust them.
@sskmdss@kari_jerge Is the MDA the flight attendant in your scenario? Everywhere I’ve worked with anesthesiologists, the CRNA is the one “flying the plane”.
I've got another crazy idea. Lets make the next Secretary of Health and Human Services a nurse. If you want to know how to make health care better in this country, ask a nurse. Better yet, put a nurse in charge. #NurseTwitter
@bsn_srna I’ll never forget being an SRNA ready to graduate and one of my classmates ranting “the CRNAs don’t even let you put up the fucking DRAPES by yourself. I’m done!” and ever since then, even 1st rotation SRNAs have been in charge of both sides in my rooms. 😂
@pleasuredata@smoothposer@WriteToRebel Hospital scrubs are always creased and people who work in surgery tuck in their scrubs all the time. She’s not an imposter. Y’all would make terrible detectives. 😂
@smoothposer I know her personally. She’s definitely a nurse. Advanced practice nurse, even. Not an imposter. Married to an OBGYN. Anti-vaxxer, organic, phones emit radiation type. Hospital scrubs are heavily starched, definitely have creases, and can be worn in/out of the hospital FYI.
