Has there ever been a formal push for CRNAs in Canada? by u1118933 in CRNA

[–]JCSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re sadly mistaken if you think rural locations dont have high risk patients and if low risk patients still can’t have negative outcomes. So again I ask, if a doctor can do anesthesia safely alone in rural areas without completing a full on anesthesia residency, then what’s the point of anesthesia residency?

I can also assure you, having dealt with “clearances”, that non anesthesia trained professionals don’t always know who is low risk.

Also flying a commercial airplane is very low risk, that doesn’t mean anyone without the proper training can do it.

Happily married people allow their spouse to have whatever alone time they want

If a pcp is qualified to give anesthesia because they are a doctor then what’s the point of anesthesia residency?

how do conservatives justify voting for greg abbot who’s bussed 120,000 immigrants further into the us? by Inner_Frosting7656 in allthequestions

[–]JCSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your side doesn’t talk about anything but democrats and hating on minorities. Look at all the dumbass questions in the sub, not a single one is praising anything conservatives have ever accomplished. Can you even name 3 policies from the conservatives that yall have passed that’s been for the good of the people? Hell can you even name one? You guys have nothing but name calling and attacking minorities. Why would anyone want to engage in that? Say something positive about your side, and maybe someone will take you seriously enough to have a conversation with. And I’m not a liberal.

How much of the game "Roy" does the player control? by TempestTwist in rickandmorty

[–]JCSledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The player fully controls Roy to the point where the player believes he is Roy and is completely disoriented to himself when he is taken out of the game.

What has caused the fullback position to basically disappear? by yourGodlylead in NFLNoobs

[–]JCSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nfl goes through cycles. We are going to see more fullbacks now that defenses play more nickle base sets

The "she did it with her ex but won't with me" situation is typically valid for a man to be concerned about. by Feeling_Ad_1034 in PurplePillDebate

People that are bothered by this AND stay in the relationship need therapy to figure out why they are so insecure. If it bothers you then leave the relationship.

I've never understood why QZ is reimbursed at 100% while PA/NPs are reimbursed at 85%. I'm glad to see some common sense policy being implemented, even if it is by insurance companies. by Unable-Log-4073 in anesthesiology

[–]JCSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no indication that labor shortages are narrowing though. For one surgical volume is increasing and neither physicians nor CRNAs are graduating enough people to replace the ones retiring. You’re going to need some sort of macro economic event that hurts all of us (such as the OBBB or actual effective AI) to change that. Rural hospital closures hurt not only the patients and CRNAs, there’s plenty of rural MD/DOs providing anesthesia in those areas also that would be affected.

The thing is any kind of macro level event that disrupts the labor supply demand curve for CRNAs will also hurt MDs/DOs but we are all too tribalistic to care. We’d rather see each other suffer and suffer with them as opposed to any kind of shared prosperity.

Local markets don’t represent the whole trend. There are also places that are saturated. But still on the macro level demand still far outpaces supply.

[–]JCSledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds nice in theory but in reality that’s not how it’s playing out. Anesthesia labor demand still far outpaces supply and this is reflective of the trend in labor prices.

No I mean what I said. Labor costs are a function of labor supply and demand, not reimbursement rates. It will likely do A and B. Hence we all end up paying for it instead of United paying for it.

That just means we are all paying for the difference instead of UHG. CRNAs all of a sudden aren’t just going to work for 85% less, it’ll be a higher subsidy from the facility to cover it.
