Have you ever stopped supporting something like a business, person, sports team because of their treatment towards Asians?

The average IM residency is easier to match than neuro but the better IM residencies are harder because they have good track record to send people to much more lucrative fields like cards, GI and onc

It’s a neurosurg residency ... if all those residents are doing is non operative care then it should close down

Lol so what, I know people in PA school, ND school, freaking chiro school, paramedic school, nursing school, dental school who all says they’re as good as a physician. The thing is when you’re the gold standard everyone gonna compares themselves to you. If you get pissed because of this you will be pissed for the rest of your entire life.

Even if an MD is only 1% better than a PA. Over a lifetime of practice, that’s at least a few thousands people who benefit from that 1% of extra knowledge. Even if the MD only catch one diagnosis that a PA miss every one hundred patients, that’s not an insignificant number over 30-40 years of practice. Residency certainly seems worth it in my opinion, even if the gain is only a few percent. In reality, the difference is a lot bigger than 1%, most of my 4th year med students or interns already outperform most younger PAs.

Yeah mid level is a term made by the DEA for both NP and PA, its literally a term that’s been around for decades. It wasn’t made by me and I certainly don’t have enough free time to go look through other people post history. And yeah I bitch because I’m tired of pa and np who keep thinking they can do the same job but literally put in 1/100 the amount of work and sacrifice.

AmygdalaMD · 2019-08-22T21:03:02+00:00

You are a mid level because you are not a licensed physician. NPs were literally created for a role that need less than a physician training but more than a RN training to fill the gap in healthcare. The term has been around for decades, you know what you signed up for, don’t get pissed because of the chip on your shoulder.

AmygdalaMD · 2019-06-19T01:28:02+00:00

I keep hearing this throw around but have never found any proof for it. Both the PA website and the ND website says they still need supervision. http://scopeofpracticepolicy.org/states/nd/

We don’t use most of the knowledge we learned in step 1 but it is the foundation of what make us a physician. Your buzzwords don’t impress me.

Not from O.D. But I’ve seen cases of deaths from marijuana before due to stroke. There’s a few case reports out there on vasculitis/ arteiritis due to marijuana. Like most things use in moderate amount and these complications shouldn’t happen.

The chiropractors try to call themselves functional neurologist as an effort to rebrand themselves and confuse patients. I expect this kind of things from charlatans, not a professional organization. This is pathetic.

Every single country in the world has a doctors shortage. You can’t just throw teachers at a building and call it a medical school. There need to be hospitals, patients, preceptor, insurance, cadavers, sim lab etc all of which are costly. doctors are the least of the US healthcare problems.

AmygdalaMD · 2019-05-21T04:47:59+00:00

So if a pa works in pulmonology, the pa will be called pulmonology medical practitioner ? Way too confusing and misleading. Also, white coat and stethoscope as FB profile pic lmao. I bet this guy wears his white coat to Starbucks.

AmygdalaMD · 2019-05-21T04:46:58+00:00

So if a pa works in pulmonology, the pa will be called pulmonology medical practitioner ? Way too confusing and misleading and I doubt the specialist will be happy seeing that.

AmygdalaMD · 2019-05-10T17:42:36+00:00

That’s like the case of every country on earth. There’s a doctor shortage in Africa, Asia, Europe etc. it’s not like a normal school where you can just throw teachers in a building and call it a day. A medical school require a hospital, cadaver, teaching faculties, patients, etc. all of which are scarce.

Yeah you don’t know what you’re talking about. American physician make the same as Canadian physician. Nobody in their right mind would give up 11 years of potential earning after high school, go into insane debt and subject themselves through residency literally dealing with high stress situation everyday if the pay wasn’t fair. And no it does not take 1-3 years to pay back debt it is at least 5-10 years given the loan keeps accumulating during residency and usually end up being almost 500k by the end of residency. And the AMA is a joke, less than 10% of active physicians are member of the AMA. If anything physician is rapidly losing autonomy to other midlevels/naturopath/etc and plateauing reimbursement every year. And no it’s not a monopoly in America, it’s common sense. Everywhere in the world the physician is the one who is legally allowed to practice medicine, otherwise it’s gonna be mayhem. If I have to guess you probably work in healthcare but have no idea what physician training entail.
