I know I'm sounding super blasé about this, but I just don't see how crnas can work entirely independently.Gas, and 4 kids

What does your DH think about telemedicine as a possible solution? As in: having an anesthesiologist on a screen (or able to hop on a screen) if trouble arose? UC Davis in CA does this with many of the small rural hospitals to bring specialist expertise when transport is 4-5 hours away.

I agree it is not the same whatsoever, in CA I knew of a highlighted example where a FM (maybe ED?) doc used telemedicine to get assistance being talked through putting in a central line. I know this is not ideal, but I'd rather have an anesthesiologist over a screen rather than not at all. Rural medicine is tough to solve, especially when specialist care is over 2-4 hours away by helicopter! I still dont think granting the privileged to practice independently to individuals with less education & experience is in the best interests of patients.Wife to PGY4 & Mother of 3.
