I am a specialist and work in rural Louisiana where people are, let's say, sort of simple. Let's say you go to NP school and then you have a doctorate. . .well, then the NP gets to be called "doctor." And you can bet they will embrace that. . . It makes my blood boil a little and is very confusing for patients.


Exactly

Why don’t physical therapists call themselves doctors and wear a white coat? Because they aren’t trying to portray themselves as doctors. You can bet NPs on some level enjoy the ability to wear a white coat and call themselves doctors, they are using that to garner trust from patients. Well that’s bullshite, you should have to build trust with society through time of proving your worth. Not by riding the coat tails of MDs.

Absolutely. If you want to be a doctor, go to med school.
