Wow. I am a first time visitor to this site and the comments amaze me. I am a CRNA that has worked with AA's. I think the focus here has to be on Anesthesiologists and money. Look at the ASA if you want to find the group interested in the money. AA's are Anesthesiologists plan to keep their salaries high and control the anesthesia profession. Face it the MDA's are out for the money and you are their implement. If you really want to make a difference press for independent practice like some of your fellow Ohio AA's.
