    In some countries there's only 1 anesthesiologist per 100,000. Sometimes there's zero. @NPRhttp://n.pr/2hQLdtB

        This article is misleading & fails to adequately credit the role of non-physician anaesthesia providers, despite the reported 'correction'.

        How do nurse anesthetists fit into this? They play major role in US. Seems easier to train more nurse anesthetists than anesthesiologists.

        Absolutely. CRNAs provide the majority of anesthesia care in rural America, without anesthesiologists.

        Even in urban areas it's usually an anesthesiologist overseeing several CRNAs, who are in OR the whole time w/anesthes. moving between them.

        Agreed. I'm a CRNA and work in both models (ACT and solo) at 2 different institutions. In both settings I stay with pt entire time.

        Interesting read. The Canadian Anesthesiology Society is involved globally. https://casief.ca/

        Thanks @Atul_Gawande . One wonders why still Anaesthesiologists are so lowly paid in India and have to run whole day long as free lancers.

        Thanks for this article. Even to me, an anaesthesiologist, it was an eye opener.

        Yet J&J Sedasys robot anesthesia machine shut down despite cost savings & patient benefits, due to opposition from anesthesiologists.
