It is ridiculous to compare independent anesthesia practice salary to employed academic MDA. It is much more appropriate to compare independent anesthesia practice with MDA locum practice. It is still nearly double. As I have stated earlier I am not asking for equal pay to MDA I am asking for comparable pay to what we as CRNA can and do bill in the anesthesia team. Don't miscontstrue the truth. Anesthesia like medical and nursing treatments earn salary and money. It is not appropriate to pay CRNA so little as to pad the pockets of anesthesiologist.
