Doctors and nurses are not the same. Unfortunately both have their share of poor providers. Dr. Young is NOT a member of the ASA. On the AMA web site he is not listed as having his boards in Anesthesiology. An anesthesiologist without boards and membership in a professional society should have sent up red flags to patients and his employers. Without Boards he may have been trained as an anesthesiologist but he is not recognized as a consultant in Anesthesiology. A consultant in Anesthesiology would know the difference between 1970's medicine and 2008. ASA members are informed with current up to date literature (Dr. Finkelstein was not an ASA member and was not practicing anesthesia but pain management).
Its too bad that because some CRNAs use any excuse no matter how poor to make up for their mistaken belief that because they are not doctors they are unimportant. Most CRNAs I know are happy to be nurses, are proud of their knowledge, training, and skills and are smart enough to realize that medical knowledge is important and therefore they work within an anesthesia care team. Others who feel inadequate that they don't have medical training are alway looking for reasons to say they are as good or better than doctors. That just isn't the case. Nurses and doctors are different with different training!!
Just get over it!!!!
