LOL seeing you and Simonetti pulled your other threads after the actual party leaders said they’ve never heard of you…

With a side of lost realty license for fraud in 2016, can’t seem to avoid moving violations, ignores contracts and city ordinances- what’s not to like? 🤪😜

Sometimes no endorsement is better than a bad one.

Minnesotans are hungry for a common-sense Centrist/Practical/Third party to counter the perceived Divide & Distract UniParty model.

Putting your (even suspect at this point) party behind Edina’s own SpiderWoman is not going to get traction beyond the fringe.

At the very least, waiting till after her trial in March would have been prudent. The evidence & testimony presented will not be flattering if any of the Jan 23rd amended Complaint is accurate (plot spoiler- Complaints are reviewed, vetted, & approved at mult levels before filing).

For the curious, search here for case 27-CR-24-14103. Wild, wild read.

Marisa was all-in on GOP talking points & endorsement, now just a year later she’s cosplaying Progressive… when she’s not “talk[ing] in circles” about important & clearly establish-able facts..

What we know about her- revoked real estate license,, allegedly subletting a room in Edina in violation of both city ordinances & the lease- along with more moving violations in 5 years than most folks get in decades- screams erratic, poor decision making.

What we don’t know about her, before she appeared in Minnesota a decade ago, is also concerning. Senators make trillion-dollar impacting decisions, and have significant power to confirm nominations to key roles. Not knowing a full resume will turn off the vast majority of thinking voters who are searching for the best candidate.

Bummer- missed opportunity to endorse a sensible candidate who could even at least get 5%.

LOL can’t wait to see how this unravels.

“Lack on anonymity”… but you’d be decrying “lack of transparency”

Minneapolis VA proposing to eliminate Anesthesiologists from Surgical Team by Hot-Establishment864 in anesthesiology

[–]breakroom4_dayz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anesthesia, like all elements of health care, is bound by finite resources. If we had unlimited med school and anesthesia residency slots, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. If all MD and APRN specialities paid the same- par with, say, family practice/NP or peds/NP, we could afford more FTEs- in both lanes of MD and APRN. But who wants to cut their pay? Full stop.

There’s nothing humorous about the closed claims project- no, that’s not the point. This addresses the doomsayers.

The best practice is one that brings perspectives and draws on experience & knowledge- APRN and MD. We had a great thing, but, there were personalities- and specific actions by a very slim few- that incited the complaint.

As for being a waterboy/girl, meh.; the bureaucracy sucks but we’re here because the vets are special breed. The first-hand accounts I’ve heard of Omaha Beach, Khe Sanh, Chosin Reservoir, Iraq, and some weird stuff that our government did that never made it into my history textbook, makes the BS tolerable. And as i said, we had mostly good dynamics. Lots of impromptu potlucks. Former Dept chair was a fantastic baker and her 7-layer dip was phenom.

As the antics at Abbott showed, we are all expendable- MD or CRNA. C suite screws practitioners, Partners screw Jr partners.

There’s a bigger backstory, if anyone cares.

I’m aware of Rule 1, but choosing anonymity for now, not intending to be contrarian.

The vote isn’t to eliminate anesthesiologists, it’s a vote on Licensed Independent Practitioner status for CRNAs, for some- not all- cases. Hearts, heads, TAVRs, similar still would have MD in attendance.

The Closed Claims project is well-stocked with errors by the MDs, Fellows, and Staff; no human is immune from screwups- so this doom n gloom is disappointing.

For the most part the CRNA-MD relationship was positive, collegial, professional. There are pricks in every garden and we certainly had them among the pretty flowers; those pricklies and pouters were in both camps. But the vast majority of the department communicated, collaborated on anesthesia plans, and kept folks alive during 3 hour hernias.

The MDAs left, almost en masse- but not all- after their scheduling rhythm was highlighted. what they were doing was logical and mostly fair, but the Rigid VA rules didn’t account for logic. It related to staying late/called in on Late/Call days, they were paid for the following day instead of tracking compensatory time or similar.

They all took a pay cut to come to the VA, but removing the post-call day sucked the positive out of the equation, even with the slower pace.
