[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all these doctors feeling totally overwhelmed (and I absolutely believe that is true!) why in the universe is the AMA so vocally opposed to "scope of practice" creep.

Get some more NPs and PAs in these offices to treat the vast majority of issues.[/quote]

Prompt care NP mistreated supracondylar fracture
NP misdiagnosed "dislocated" shoulder
Psychiatric NP gave me serotonin syndrome
etc

Docs miss things too, but [b]it's a matter of the odds [/b]and a matter on whether you have a healthy fear/understanding of what you don't know.

Perhaps the most crucial thing I’ve learned in medical school, is just how much I do not know.[/quote]

This is dumb statement. There is no data showing NPs/PAs have a higher level of error than MDs. In my family my husband's epilepsy was mismanaged by a provider in a manner that could have killed our entirely family if we had gotten in the car 5 minutes earlier, and my father's cancer was blown off by a doctor as a "sinus infection."  So based on those odds I probably should never go to a doctor again, right?[/quote]
