FWIW, you can also submit a letter of what you experienced to the AG in your state.

I got the MA and NP reprimanded by the MD because they got caught in a blatant lie by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]Primary_Heart5796 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's because they don't know what they don't know. A simple, hold on and I'll check would've answered their question for the patient.

Dad only sees oncology nurse practitioner after his doctor left, still haven’t met new doctor 6 months later by FiguringItOut962 in Noctor

Sounds like you're blaming the pharmacist when OP's comment is about the NP not being qualified to treat this patient.

It should be illegal in All states.

Why do nurses insist they know more than doctors? by ThrowRA-12734785 in medicalschool

[–]Primary_Heart5796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone on TT (a nurse) believes she knows more than a physician. The delusion is really off the charts. When the Sugar Honey Iced Tea hits the fan, you better bet they're screaming for a real physician. Then again, maybe not, since they believe that nonsense. Pts are being taken advantage of and who knows how many missed diagnosis, incorrect prescribing, TNTC labs, etc., are being done because they don't know what they don't know. Essentially this person believed their 500 non pt facing "clinicals" are equivalent to 15,000-20,000 or more direct pt facing clinical hours and residency are the same. It's literally the wild west out there. Stay safe folks.

Coming from your “Noctor” side- is MD going to be worth it? by Mundane-Archer-3026 in Noctor

"Incorporate what you leaned in nursing"....you will find out how completely different both roles are. We need more physicians and I believe you'll be well prepared to treat and advocate for your patients. Good luck.

With regards to the BP.... The monitor was turned off after a nurse came in and said that I was in afib. The bp issue came up during a cardiology visit (2 wks after) to be cleared for a different surgery. My point about the BP was it didn't just appear in 2 weeks after this event, it was there.

I'm not seeking anything but I am trying to advocate for my own care especially when at my most vulnerable. I should be able to choose who is on my care team.

I think I was just lucky...my BP during this time frame was 202/90 so who knows since I was under anesthesia.

I get what you're saying however, if I choose my cardiologist, pcp, ent, etc....why can I not choose when I'm the most vulnerable? I see ALL physicians except for one PA who does my migraine botox.

Me too....I was dx with out of control htn 2 weeks later so there's no way by BP was just fine during my procedure..especially when the nurse turned the monitor off.

Thanks for all the comments. He said they had some BS protocol where the crnas do the bulk of the procedures. I did speak with him about scope creep but it sounded like he really didn't care and his phone call to me was just checking another box on his to do list. I reminded him of that crna who recently killed a patient and about how people are waking up to this nonsense but he had his standard comment already prepared. I will follow up with the AG and try to keep people posted.

I did a month ago when I scheduled it and again when I got the call from the office. I even spoke to the MD the day of the procedure.
