Answer 1

...what is wrong with you?

Yes, in 10 years all the anesthesiologists in the world will be out of a job, because we will have super nurses, and the former anesthesiologists will all go knocking on your door. Every single one in the world. Hope you've got a big house and lots of fresh bed linens!

Answer 2

Anestheologists are qualified doctors and can easily slot into another role.

Answer 3

While there are plenty of very qualified nurse anesthetists, there are also a fair number that are scary.  When I medically direct a case, there are times that I have to change plans to keep the patient safe.  Not a lot of the time, but sometimes.

When the p**p hits the fan, they call us, not the other way around.

There is a chance that a dichotomy will occur, and socialized medicine will be run by mid-level providers, and those who choose to pay will get to see physicians.

Answer 4

Nurses will NEVER be in control of anesthesia.  Current nurse anesthetists cannot work on their own.  They need a doctor to oversee them.  With the difficult cases, you will need an anesthesiologist to control the anesthesia cocktail and maintain the airway.  The complex cases require a knowledge of a physician or a PhD in pharmacology.

Answer 5

I don't think that it will become dead. That will just be there specialty. They may have to learn other areas to work in but anesthesiology being there main target area.
