For a long time now I've been hoping to complete an Anesthesia residency after medical school (considering everything goes as planned) and I had an interesting run in with a retired nurse anesthetist two nights ago. So I'm splinting her ankle and giving her crutches and out of nowhere she tells me she worked as a CRNA for 23 years. I proceed to tell her I'm hoping to go into Anesthesia as an MD. She blows that idea off and insists that a CRNA is the same as an Anesthesiologist. Now, I recognize the bias in her opinion but what are some of your experiences going through medic school and who did you work with while in the OR?
