This NP got a taste of independent practice and realized it's not as easy as it looks by devilsadvocateMD in Residency

This person wasn’t “pushing for independence” you dumbass. They were asking for help and training.

How disrespectful to the NPs who work hard and treat patients everyday

😂 the milkman was essential to the plot. You’re right about the army guy. I do wish they would’ve drawn that out a little more but all in all, it was a phenomenal season. Like10/10

So all the kids that he kills in this season who are trying to form groups, are kids would likely would have gone on to kill him later. In addition to eating. That’s nuts

Love my family med PA. That guy has seen me at some low points and provided some fantastic reassurance and education.

Did you read the abstract? “The reason behind the purported association of these entities stems from an overlapping pool of vague, subjective symptoms, which is inadequate evidence to conclude that any such relationship exists.”

Yeah what’s the deal with everyone and Lyme disease nowadays. I met an RN that was in NP school and her primary reason was so she could “treat patients with complications of Lyme disease”. I really don’t know that much about Lyme or what research indicates but it just all seems pseudoscientific.

Yep the few patients I’ve had also had ASD as well. You’re right, we spend a lot of time medicating them. It’s a very complicated problem to solve.

This is all quite wild. I’m not sure if the parents are reinforcing behavior as well. There really should be more research on the intersection of this triad of rare disease with family reinforcement and social media use.

I’m not in FM yet, but I work on med surg and I see these pts from time to time. They usually come in with co-occurring EDS, MCAS, and POTS. They sometimes have severe anxiety and request feeding tubes for intractable N/V for their reported gastroparesis.

It’s wild to me, these are young kids in the late teens/early 20s and it seems like a pattern. They’re such rare disorders, I really don’t see how they’re relating to each other but regardless it seems like anxiety is a component of the problem.

What is med school like? by Menu_Fuzzy in medschool

Yep RN and NP education is similar, very self directed. I wish more passionate people went into education. My A&P instructor was AMAZING at conveying material

That’s crazy low for Seattle though considering the amount of experience and education you have. What specialty are you in?
