[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's your right OP. If that's what you want and willing to wait, insist on it. DW is a cardiology NP and had a patient like you. Rather than seeing DW, wanted to wait 6 weeks for a doctor. The idiot died of heart attack while waiting. DW could've saved his life by catching his problems but what can you do. [/quote]

That's fine for your DW but patients who want to see a cardiologist MD and make an appt to do so should be able to as well. It's not irrational to have the preference for the person with more training, sorry.[/quote]

MD cardiologist - had to take premed courses, take MCAT and score above 90th percentile, medical school with multiple board exams, 3 years of internal medicine residency working over 80 hours a week. Had to at the same time publish and be top of resident class to
Match into cardiology. In addition to another board exam and also internal medicine boards.Then 3-4 years of rigorous fellowship training in cardiology with board exam at end.

NP- nursing school, then NP school (sometimes accelerated) with 500 or so clinical hours in a variety of fields. Then immediately works in cardiology.

Yes of course they are the same. [/quote]

You want some wine with your cheese doc?  You are the exact type of shi&head, arrogant doc that everyone hates. [/quote]

NP. Are you a NP with an inferiority complex? Poster was just stating facts. Oh and as a patient, I really don’t care how “nice” you are, but i do care how competent you are. And if I have heart issues, I could give 2 Sh*ts what the nice NP has to say. [/quote]
