I think ACGME should phase out EM/FM/Gas and let NP/PA take over these specialties...

Don't troll. There's no reason for you to have posted that twice nearly 30 minutes apart.

Mods, just lock this abortion of a thread. People are trolling or so hopelessly idiotic, it isn't worth the electrons.

Please demonstrate what makes your field so special that a procedural month couldn’t teach any or techs couldn’t do?

Please come come to my home town and get really sick or seriously injured and you can see first hand what kinda care you get in an ED staffed with non EM docs and NPs trained in house by non-em docs.

I love love love FM and IM docs and have the utmost respect for what they do. They are seriously undervauled, but there is a night and day difference between how they manage patients and how EM does.

It's trolling by those that are hopelessly idiotic.

Like the drunk agitated patient with no ability to hold a discussion, do not bother to talk to them anymore.

I dont get why you think I am trolling... It's a genuine discussion. Certain specialties can be replaced by MLP... Hence, MLP are making stride into these specialties.

I don’t actually think EM physicians can be replaced by techs but it seems like this is the second time in the last day I’ve seen a forum post where an EM physician implies IM is incompetent because they can’t do something they probably haven’t done in years vs. something an ED physician is supposed to do everyday. Also, there’s a specialty within IM for patients who require acute care...

Locking because of Dunning Kruger Effect.
