1. PA-C's on L&D

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

   What? You obviously have no experience with PAs. Its commonplace for docs to let their PAs deliver babies solo with the doc on pager if complications arise. You obviously dont understand malpractice insurance. They cover the doc, not the PA. ...

2. Physician Hostility

   yersinia21 replied to blake's topic in NP

   Verbal attacks removed.

3. Extending training for NP's

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   You have a good way of showing that. Truth is there is nothing substantial separating the training of PAs vs NPs. The extra years getting a masters dont improve health outcomes for patients, and PAs taking over primary care iwth only a bachelors deg...

4. Physician Hostility

   yersinia21 replied to blake's topic in NP

   Uhhh...exactly what does this have to do with anything I said in the quote? I asked about specific pathophysiology that NPs would teach to residents.

5. Extending training for NP's

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   Explain to me then what is so magic about NP training compared to PAs. So far you have nothing but personal attacks, which means you have exhausted all logical argument.

6. Physician Hostility

   yersinia21 replied to blake's topic in NP

   You probably dont even understand what real pathophys is. Give me an example of an NP teaching a resident about pathophys and I'll show you a weak resident. Your hospital must be draw a very weak resident pool, meaning that its either in the stix or...

7. Extending training for NP's

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   Why have an NP do that when a bachelors-trained PA can do the same things with the same efficacy? Thats a waste of a masters degree. You dont NEED a masters degree to do those things. Very simple common knowledge.

8. Extending training for NP's

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   A monkey can do those things. Long term, neither NPs nor MDs will be doing that basic stuff. You dont even need to go to college for such basic practice.

9. Medical School after NP?

   yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   Wait a minute... now you are shifting the goalposts. Your previous post was that NPs were trained just as well as doctors. Now you are saying that its only true for family medicine. So you agree that your blanket statement was inaccurate? Otherwise,...

10. Medical School after NP?

    yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

    Thats not true. NPs CAN NOT totally replace MDs, which is what you are implying with your "trained just as good" comment. MD/DO are still the gold standard of medicine, which means that if somehow you could replace all MDs with NPs, healthcare would ...

11. Extending training for NP's

    yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

    tenesma, hospitals make a crap load of money off of residents. Its a huge cash cow for them. You are naive if you think that the money just gets used up training the resident. Its an understood reality that Medicare funds each resident position in...

12. Extending training for NP's

    yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

    NPs cant replace doctors. NPs and MDs need each other. No one group is better than the whole.

13. Extending training for NP's

    yersinia21 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

    You are really concerned with MDs arent you? Every post a slam, every quote a reference to how you are supposedly better.
