When employed by an 'ologist or anyone else for that matter, you will gain as much independence within your job that that employer decides you deserve....right or wrong, warranted or not. Personally, as a CRNA with 30+ years, when I have worked for 'ologists, I seldom saw an 'ologist on any given day...largely, you will have most of the autonomy that you are capable of handling. The problem arises when your employer is weak or of fragile ego and decides he/she must continually hold your hand and treats you like a child because it justifies their existance. It's a very interesting production to watch :-), Dave CRNA
