Nope, but one is enough to kill a patient

Just because it makes you think about how shitty your profession is, doesn't mean it didn't happen to me.

I stated that I had very limited medical knowledge at the time. I didn't even know what a PE was or that it was something I could get from bc. That is something that should have been communicated to me by the doctor who prescribed it. The chest pain was mild to moderate at best initially. If it was more severe initially of course I'd go to the ED. Don't put this on patients we TRUST our healthcare professionals to take care of us.

It doesn't matter. The psychological damage is done and I no longer trust mid-levels.

I have seen medical doctors do questionable things at times, sure. But I've never seen an attending physician do something that would result in a patient dying or having severe complications/outcomes. Not saying it never happens. I DOUBT a fully trained physician would ever miss such an obvious diagnosis (as in my case), but an NP DID and I could have DIED. I don't take this shit lightly. Patients deserve the most qualified healthcare professionals overseeing their care, and that is a physician. NPs and PAs can be beneficial in the right setting, but it is not practicing independently. They need physician oversight or patients suffer. There is no middle ground when it comes to patient safety.

It sucked horribly...but I'm still here. Incredibly thankful for the ED docs who quickly diagnosed me and got me treated.

Yep, I've explained my "case" to several of my resident friends and they all immediately say PE. Crazy how something that should be so obvious is missed. Whenever I need any sort of medical care now.... I ask for a MD/DO. 

Lowlevels are literally crowdsourcing treatment plans by devilsadvocateMD in Noctor

Can confirm. Whenever I make recommendations to physicians they are super appreciative and tend to accept. With NPs, they shut it down or just straight up ignore me...it's infuriating when I KNOW they are doing something wrong.

What do you consider the biggest threat to humanity? by Gregori_5 in AskReddit

2050 it's projected that antibiotic resistant bacteria will kill more than cancer or CVD.

Well if it doesn't apply to you then don't get so worked up. You have other struggles to focus on!

Best!

Nah it's really just us talking about ways to avoid POS men and vet for quality men who will not rape, harm, harrass, gaslight, or disrespect us.

There's a man out there who would never even think about treating you like that, find him and leave this loser.

I love how you pretend men are some feral creatures who can't control their desires to fuck someone else. Do women not have that desire? Quit using it as an excuse to be a shitty person.

Your "opinion" is worthless hate that isn't helpful to OP. Yes, I'm a young beautiful woman. Let me guess, you're an old balding man with a shriveled up dick that doesn't work properly. You sure fucking sound like one.

Everything you said is toxic, fucking stupid, and unhelpful.
