I can't help lazy, entitled MD's that are in primary care because they couldn't do anything else.

this is such a played out stereotype. some people actually go to medical school WANTING to do primary care and they are the salt of the earth

Patients will never understand the limited amount of knowledge and NP/PA have compared to physicians. The push to have you see a midlevel is done by healthcare execs to save money and see more patients.

I'm glad the NP/PA make all of you feel better by holding your hands, but if you're looking for expertise then go see a physician. It's not even close.
