Exposing the incompetence and dishonesty of midlevel providers in the fight to ensure patient safety and preserve physician-led, physician-supervised medicine.
@chrissyfreeMD
It's infuriatingly ironic, especially since I've yet to see any midlevel NP/PA stay even a minute past the end of their shift. Doesn't matter if there's still work to be done - they just don't have the drive, work ethic, or ambition for quality patient care that physicians do.
Welcome to our new PA residents! We are excited for what the next year has in store. Pictured: Candace Daughtridge, Joshua Holloway, and Sarah Sewelson.
Exhibit A: How to potentially lose your medical license and get reamed by not one, but two medical boards and potentially the feds if something bad happens. The exploitation of physicians and the renting of their medical licenses to midlevels needs to stop.

Terms such as “resident,” “fellow” and “attending” represent a historical role for physicians within medicine. But in recent years,
#PhysicianAssistant
and
#NursePractitioner
programs have begun using similar terminology, which may perplex patients.
"A physician-led team ensures that professionals with the highest level and most extensive degree of medical education and training are adequately involved in clinical decisions and patient care. “Physician-led” does not imply “physician optional.”

That awkward moment when you discover that the nurse practitioner you're writing an article about appears to be practicing with an expired license under a supervising physician who's been dead for more than five years...

Hmm, what's more legit: a $499 typo-laden online course peddled by "The Elite Nurse Practitioner", or 4 years of medical school, 3 years of internal medicine residency, and 2-3 years of ACGME-accredited

Midlevels need to start realizing that public criticism and commentary in response to their own social media posts does not constitute "criminal harassment". You don't get to accuse us of a crime just because your feelings got hurt, and we don't take such accusations lightly.
@TamingtheSRU
As an emergency medicine PHYSICIAN (not provider), yes I do. I removed over 4 L from a patient during my last tap.
Please refer to your residents as what they are - physicians. They didn't go to provider school!

What the fuck is "Nurse Anesthesiology" and why is it a science? Do anesthetics work differently if nurses give them?

It's always funny when midlevels we feature threaten to sue us. They never give a straight answer when we ask what they're going to sue us for. In any case, I guess they realize it's better that their incompetence and misconduct not be publicly documented in the legal record.
The

thinks it's "simply untrue" that graduating EM physicians are “significantly more qualified to fill these patient care roles.”
What is untrue about an ER doc with 4 yrs of med school + 3-4 yrs of EM residency being more qualified than a PA?
"According to the poll, nearly 80 percent of adults trust a physician to deliver their medical care in an emergency, compared to a nurse practitioner (9 percent), physician assistant (7 percent) or nurse (5 percent)."

@yejnes
If you really think a physician could have "just as easily" misread a CT scan (let alone made all the other errors that this NP made), perhaps that reflects more on your own aptitude (or lack thereof) for the practice of medicine.

Too bad for them, we've downloaded a copy of the video so it can be timelessly preserved and enjoyed for many generations to come. We will be putting out a full article soon!
@ZachJonesMD
Interesting how the majority of people attacking Dr. Jones are non-physicians/non-physician providers/mid-level providers. If these people learned to appreciate what sets physicians apart from mere (midlevel) providers, perhaps they'd change their tune.
@independentMDs
Alternatively, how about a modern-day remake of House where House goes around and saves patients from the negligence and malpractice of midlevels?

Ms. Curry, the fact that you're so triggered by "non-physician" comes across as an implicit acknowledgment of the inherent prestige and academic/intellectual superiority that physicians over
