[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people want to see an NP then they should feel free to so that. I will not. NP training is very disjointed and not very comprehensive. They frequently practice outside their scope. The nurse lobby is so strong they have convinced people that NPs are just as good as family medicine physicians. This is simply false. The NP slogan heart of a nurse brain of a doctor is false! There are bad medical professionals all over the place. So doctors can and will make mistakes. But NPs are a special breed. They don't know what they don't know and they are not adequately trained or supervised. [/quote] The nursing lobby is relatively weak, especially in comparison to the physician lobby. Historically, mid-level practice was promoted by physicians - they could collect half the billings of the NPs or PAs they supervised.[b] Anesthesiologists, in particular, could run 4 ORs with 4 CRNAs, while collecting a ton of fees. The anesthesiologist only has to be present for the critical phases.[/b] I don't care whether you like or dislike midlevels, but don't fool yourself into believing a false narrative. It's clear that you have some attitude issues that you might want to address before disparaging others. [/quote] Readers who might be having surgery at Georgetown University Hospital, take note ^^^ As I posted upthread, all the PPs outraged by the notion of a mid-level in the ambulatory setting should probably never cross the threshold of a hospital. Spoiler alert: you're getting a mid-level, and [i]there's absolutely nothing you can do about it[/i] [/quote]
