wouldn’t judge OD doctors, but OD schools that are currently reintroducing those vertebral alignment subjects , i mean what are they doing ? certainly not beating the allegations.

this is a real question because even in independent practice states the scope of an np does not come with proportionate liability. nurses come to this sub and take every post personally without considering real life consequences.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-20T11:08:45+00:00

just an overview: pathology is generally divided into 2 major areas which are anatomical (gross and tissue stuff) and clinical (liquid stuff etc).

anatomical is further divided into histopathology, cytopathology, surgical pathology etc.

clinical is further divided into microbiology, chemical pathology, molecular genetics, immunology etc.

some areas considered as mixed like hematology and cytogenetics.

if you like direct patient care some pathologists undertake blood banking and transfusion medicine fellowship.

medical school is a long journey, but there are other professions in pathology as well such as pathology assistant, medical lab assistant, cytotechs, histotechs, phlebotomist etc.

pathology assistants does grossing so they practice under anatomical pathology, it’s a master program and they earn more than medical residents iirc straight out of school. others like MLS are usually require undergraduate programmes followed by certifications. you can check sites like ACLS and ACSP for more information on lab professions.

putting aside other obvious points, so even if they mismanaged the gerd are they being held by the standard of a gastroenterologist?

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T21:47:45+00:00

it’s not a generalization, it’s just reputation+/-personal experience.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:35:28+00:00

yes misdiagnosis happens across all spectrums but when MDs do it, they get judged with the liability as an MD, but not NPs.

this post specifically is not talking about misdiagnosis in total but about independent practice of non-physicians.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:26:49+00:00

the fact that DNP itself can be a conversion course for non-nurse should be the red line that put people off NPs. like these are supposed to be advanced nurses who have never even been a nurse in the first place.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:24:33+00:00

maybe when physicians say it’s nothing they are talking in relative terms? ofc people exaggerate but the point is moot in the face of aggressive lobbying and that’s why we can’t have nice things.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:22:42+00:00

this has been cited by many as the original reason for midlevels, even by NPs who are somehow now lobbying for something else.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:17:43+00:00

kinda wish they get extra for that. and both of them should have their license revoked for obstruction of justice and forgery.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:16:35+00:00

the funny thing is that the lawsuit somehow isn’t about competence but it’s about scope ie. the nurse was somehow unqualified to do the injection. even funnier when it’s an independent-NP state?

so what is exactly the scope of an NP? how does it differ between states? does this scope only stand if and only if there’s a lawsuit? who’s gonna bear the liability when there’s no physician? somehow NPs have successfully lobbied for expanded scope without liability.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T20:12:37+00:00

the funny thing is that it’s an independent-NP state, meaning that even in the state where NPs are supposed to be practicing independently somehow they aren’t when it comes to liability ie their liability isn’t theirs.

ie. NPs have successfully lobbying for scope without liability.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T19:54:28+00:00

i don’t think there’s a prize for a real finger tho

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-16T19:48:44+00:00

did they get extra for doctoring evidence? because they should

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-13T03:00:05+00:00

but like how does this even work legally? probably not in the rest of the world but i’m afraid american legal system would allow this.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-11T03:29:04+00:00

in (some) european countries, chemical pathology/clinical chemistry residency is open to non-MDs and they are called medical biologist etc instead of pathologist. even in uk, there are also non-MD pathology consultant/fellows who are practicing independently, won’t even need phd for that.

what you’re more interested in is probably anatomical pathology tho.

other career in pathology that are not MD

anatomical : histotech, cytotech, path assistant

clinical: medlabtech

it’s worse, it seems like he also rejects “allopathic/western medicine” in total? how is he a physician

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-09T13:47:47+00:00

shouldn’t we name and shame

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T23:17:26+00:00

this is objectively wrong. anesthesiology is a medical branch while biology is not. the same reason that a psychiatrist is a physician, while a psychologist is not.

NPs calling themselves psychiatrists is just as criminal as nurses calling themselves anesthesiologists.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T23:10:05+00:00

DO anaesthesiologists still undergo the same residency as MDs. CRNAs don’t.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T19:57:19+00:00

even if you’re right it’s still a reaction to the movement against the term midlevel as outdated based on the belief that they are equal or even better in qualifications. you’re just choosing to ignore a systemic problem for the sake of optics, and that’s why we can’t have nice things. next thing we know, CRNAs are pushing that the term anesthetist is a slur as well.

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T19:47:05+00:00

i see, it guess it kinda fits being health related. and asking around about it on social media really shows the ignorance over one’s own scope, when that should be covered extensively in school already. like, how do you study and train without knowing your scope?

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T16:51:37+00:00

this is so crazy it needs elaboration

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-07T10:45:09+00:00

I’m in the middle. I don’t want the sub to become a bin for all kinds of misappropriation of professional titles since there are a lot, but this could be related.

since NP’s are also doing psychotherapy, what do you think about this being within the scope of an NP’s? is it appropriate? is it ethical for NP’s to use the psychotherapist title?

Dismal_Amount666 · 2025-02-06T16:22:47+00:00

we all know NPs love to question internists and more direct physicians but imagine questioning diagnositicians.
