Maybe it is by design. MAYBE A COUPLE DOCTORS CONSPIRED TO RIP OFF SICK PEOPLE. However you stereotype all doctors, and you discredit AA's. You by law have more rights then them true! However it is unfair to say they are in capable providers! Just because they are not CRNA's DOESNT mean they are not good at what they do. I PERSONALLY WATCHED AN AA MONITOR AND REVERSE A PAITENT WITH EASE! JUST BECAUSE LAW PROHIBITS WORKING OUTSIDE THE ACT MODEL DOES NOT MEAN THEY COULDNT. LETS SAY 10 CASES ARE GOING ON AND ALL ARE AA'S, YOUR COMMENTS SAY THAT IF ALL THE MDA'S DROPPED DEAD IN THAT HOSPITAL THE AA'S WOULD TURN DUMB AND ALL 10 CASES FAIL. YOU MAY BE A GOOD CRNA, BUT PLEASE STOP DISCREDITING THE AA'S. LET THEM FAIL ON THEIR OWN IF THEY EVEN WILL.
