re: People with the title of “Dr.” who aren’t doctors

You may be confusing me with someone else, because I rarely post on the OT. That said, people in general are woefully unaware of this whole NP quality issue. If people were aware that their NP likely has less clinical training hours than a pet smart groomer (500 compared to 800), and completed their degree online (vast majority of programs), they would be more wary of the non physician care they or their family receive.

Maybe so, but there is a guy who rarely posts here and when he does it seems to only be in Medical threads. He goes off on RNs, NP, PA, CRNA on how they are ignorant, uneducated and a danger to patients as if they killed his entire family. .

This poster bleeds his vagina all over the thread then disappears until the next medical topic.

Opinions aside, can you really lump all NP/PA into one Box? I'd hardly compare compare the capability of a family practice NP that works at CVS to the NP that covers a busy ICU at night, or Neurosurgery coverage? Like all medical staff, there are good and bad.
