    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    Very valid points. Agree 100%. Do you think that every soldier in the history of warfare believed in the war in which they were participating? She has an obligation to serve in the military. The military went so far as to guarantee her a non-deployable spot in San Antonio during which time...

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    My apologies for not listing in detail everything about the world that bothers me. I had no idea you were so interested. The medical community is small and since this made national news, she'll have to deal with it for the rest of her career. Nothing substantial, just people saying that she's...

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    Yes :) I ride a Giant OCR-3 for road races and just got a Canondale from my brother to tool around in the desert. And, Dante, if you can't see the point in that she obligated herself and left without fulfilling that obligation, and how this is a travesty, then there is no way I, or...

    *sigh* In El Paso, Texas, there are 4 non-military hospitals. They majority of the anesthesia care is delivered by CRNAs. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthestists. These are nurses that have undergone specialized training to provide anesthesia care under the supervision of an...

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    Honestly, that doesn't surprise me. Thanks for the links. My buddies in Houston are going to just love the info. A surgical internship can be torturous for anyone, but your only alternative would have been medicine, or a transitional, and I would have killed myself after about two weeks in...

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    Point taken, from all of you. Thread revival happened because the very first I heard of this was today when on CNN, they had a recap of the worst lawsuits of the year, and this one won unanimously. I googled her name and saw this thread, got a kick out of some of your, uh..opinions. Thought...

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    By the way, this lawsuit was singled out by CNN as the most disturbing of the year, in that she got away with everything.

    Dr Mary Hanna is my new hero

    I might be able to shed a bit of light on this, if anyone's interested. I'm currently a 4th year resident in Orthopaedic Surgery at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas and am looking forward to fulfilling my military obligation with the US Army upon completion of my medical...
