Advanced practice providers play a pivotal role in pain therapy | SPR

As part of Women’s Health Week, we spoke with three advanced practice providers to better understand the role of APPs: Ashley Comer, MSN, APRN, FNP-C; Zohra H...

"Over the last few years, the role of both APPs and women in pain medicine in general, have become more recognized for their contributions to helping patients who suffer from chronic pain. Comer, Hussaini and Misercola all agreed that for female APPs, the future is extremely bright. Various efforts are being made for female APPs – and APPs in general. “[We] are gaining and recognizing more female physicians and APPs in pain medicine,” Comer said. “This allows more access to discuss best practices, guidelines, and personal experiences so that the field can continue to improve.”

Slick move lumping APPs with female physicians. We’re exactly the same! Hire a “mommy doc” vs an APP right?

Surprise we haven’t seen a push for more URM docs in pain.

It’s just virtue signaling.

Neither are a straight white male , and heaven forbid we said anything positive about straight white males, the “woke” only celebrate progress made by any other group.

a straight white guy could cure cancer tomorrow and the liberal media wouldn’t cover it, but if a lesbian black woman said anything about anything, it would be front page news.

I've seen a lot of relational aggression between females in health care over the years--especially nurses and females residents, etc. I've always wondered if there is anything about the feminist movement that divides them against each other. Maybe it's more of a social class issue?

I think that the implications for pain are that alpha-mid levels could be a more attractive hiring proposition for HOPD/health systems than female MD/DO's.

the term "Alpha mid-level" makes me cringe

also, there was never any more malignant, dysfunctional, angry, bitter, nasty group of people that I have ever been around in my life than in my hospital ob/gyn rotation. something about all those women doctors, resident and nurses together in a stressful environment that it becomes a powder keg. sort of like the Bachelor vs. the bachelorette. generally, the women are at each other's throats, and the guys all get along. seems like it could be hormonal/pheromonal in nature

i do recognize the misogyny in this post -- but you have to call it like you see it.
