Edgar: Nurses who have been specially trained in administering anesthetics should be allowed to anesthetize patients without having to do so under a doctor’s supervision. After all, anesthesia has gotten remarkably safe in recent decades.

Janet: Although it’s true that nurse anesthetists receive excellent training, only doctors have the broader medical training to handle the rare emergencies that can arise.

Speaker 1 Summary
