Avoiding a CRNA is ideal, yes. It’s unfortunate, because there are absolutely CRNAs who are incredibly experienced and as knowledgeable as actual Anesthesiologists. But the reality is, it’s mostly shitty private hospitals and clinics that use CRNAs because they’re too cheap to pay for someone with actual experience. Capable CRNAs are the exception, not the rule (or even common) in this situation.

It’s just greedy fucks being greedy.
