CRNA's, in general, go straight down the party line of the AANA. 95% have never seen or worked with an AA, but they think they know EVERYTHING about us. They don't. It is absolutely pointless to talk to a CRNA about AA's, because they are incapable of independent thought and any resemblance of objectivity on this topic. They are 100% politically and economically motivated.

You need to contact a hospital that has anesthesiologists or AA's, and talk specifically to one of them. If you're in Nebraska. you may have to hunt a little harder and stick with the bigger towns and cities. Whatever medical schools are in Nebraska, contact their academic anesthesia department withing the medical school, and see if they can provide some assistance.
