Listen, you don't cover every topic in medical school either. Education is going to leave something out. That is why you need experience. And when a not so routine patient comes through the door, the...
If an NP couldn't handle any possible thing that walked through the door, then why would physicians leave them there to tend the office alone and with no supervision? Of course I am saying they can...
Simple reason, they perform the same task. People should get paid the same thing for doing the same job. I told you that before and you never responded to
I argue for equal reimbursement, not increased reimbursement. What you can't stand is that I would advocate physicians having their reimbursement lowered. And yes, nobody really cares about M4s. You...
You have also argued that something is better than nothing before. You told me that independent practice is okay for rural areas where a physician is not available. You continually contradict...
The only person I see questioning whether the outcomes are equal is YOU. Like I said, physicians don't even question that. The only thing they question is whether or not NPs should be able to call...
Like I said already, the proof is in what is happenning out there in practice. If you want to discount the study, that's your problem. The proof is evident everyday. You can't discout
Your whole argument is baseless. We have seen multiple testimonies from people who are actually out there practicing to what a rubber stamp physician supervision is. The only thing physician...
at this point i can discount any study you find and you can discount any study i find for any number of reasons that we may choose. the point is this, you can't produce any studies that show that...
DG, here is a bit of "science" for you that was printed in JAMA "PROVING" similar outcomes for NPs and physicians. Can't wait to hear your rebuttal to that....
The TRUTH is that you have provided ZERO evidence to support your opinions expressed and your concerns about independent practice for NPs are just that - YOUR concerns. Most people don't share them....
I fully understand and agree with your post, with the exception that independent practice for NPs doesn't necessarily mean solo practice. It could mean group NP practice, just without physician...
I don't understand why you have to run down everyone else to build yourself up. Most other professions aren't so afraid of competition as you bunch of physicians are. I guess it is because you have...
I don't need to provide you with evidence, and I have already talked with a great number of legislators and Congressmen who are on board with independent practice for NPs. There are bills being...
You are a little bit too wrapped up in the significance of your training to ever become a good practitioner. The truth is, it is what you make it. Your sacrifice may be greater than one NPs, but far...
Look, I thought you were speechless. Why don't you can the BS about how much more dedication it takes to be a doctor than with any other profession. There are millions of people who work just as many...
So your overinflated figure of 80 hours a week doesn't even give you 17,000 on average. I rest my case on that one. You are wrong and you lied. You provided no real evidence in any of those links....
My only point to you is that many other people make sacrifices that are just as big for their professions, that isn't limited to physicians. You are right, there is no linking to any proof and it is...
Look, don't lie to support your opinions. We all know that physicians on average don't get 17,000 clinical hours before practicing independently. Let's try for maybe half that or less. And yet again,...
I agree completely that people should be aware of the credentials that accompany an independent practitioner. People should know what they are getting. I think that the public should know if any...
