Redefining Roles in the Changing Landscape of HealthCare

Michael DeCiccaAnesthesiology News in December 2014 includes a thoughtful editorial  by  current CA-2 Anesthesiology resident, Michael DeCicca M.D., of the State University of New York Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse New York.  It is an excellent characterization of the tension between CRNA’s and anesthesiologists as well as a good reminder of what it means to be a “Luddite”.  To further our chosen profession, Dr DeCiccia asks us potential Luddites to “consider the reasons (we) went into anesthesia in the first place,the facets of the specialty that piqued (our) interest, and develop them.”
