[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] You sound like the pp arrogant doc…not a patient but nice try. [/quote] LOL at PP claiming you need a 90th percentile mcat score to get into med school and at the idea of a medicine residency being hard to get. Half those programs are full of FMGs[/quote] You literally have no idea what you are talking about. To get into a US MD program the average MCAT is around the 90th percentile. There are no foreign doctors in these us medical schools- wow you do deserve the crappy care you want. You don’t even know the criteria for your doctors to get the training they have. [/quote] You literally can't read and your math sucks. The median MCAT for allopathic schools may be 90th percentile, but that means half get in with LOWER scores. Osteopathic schools have far lower MCAT scores. No one said FMG's were in medical schools, only that they're in plenty of internal medicine residencies. [/quote]
