OK, second segment. First comment I'd make is that if you think physicians are jealous of the term "doctor," wait until a nurse hears a medical assistant describe her- (or him-) self as "Dr. So-and-so's nurse."

Second, I learned as a laborer in a cabinet shop that the difference between masters and apprentices is knowing how to handle unusual situations or what to do when routine things go sideways. As a generally healthy person I've had great experience with CRNAs. If I were diabetic or epileptic or had bad COPD, I'd prefer an anesthesiologist.

Interesting that you don’t have an Anesthesiologist point of view. Don’t complain when you are not given a choice, and there are no physicians available to care for you or your family members, only mid levels, if you are going to only present one viewpoint.
