- Empact 3y agoIs there a reason other than fear to think that CRNAs are ineffective at their jobs?
- candiddevmike 3y agoThey need a supervising physician, which should be an anesthesiologist. Surgical MDs do not have the same qualifications to sign off on their orders. The liability with CRNAs flows to the supervising physician, so most MDs tend to be very uncomfortable working with only CRNAs.
- prh8 3y agoNot quite the question-- the real question is why would they be effective at the jobs of others? Doctors have 10-15 years of training, there's a reason for that.
