Interesting article. Obviously the NP line is crap, but the overall thesis is sound. It’s a good counterpoint to much of the SDN dogma which often suggests that it’s easy for non physicians to get rich. Also a good reminder for those thinking about skipping residency and going a non clinical route that only a few percent get as far as more docs.

This is once again a prime example why this obsession over “the 1%” is misguided and a distraction to paint a target on the working rich (docs, lawyers) that barely make the cut to reach the 1%, instead of targeting the root problem being the owner class that are also a part of the 1%, but make 10-10,000x more than those pesky physicians and lawyers per year.

Mr. Brooks knows exactly what he is doing publishing this article.

A nurse practitioner making over 80k is rich. Much easier to get in and thru. Less liability.

Ew York Times wants to sweep aside the barriers to medicine set up by rich evil doctors and let the free market sort it out?

I bet this guy would throw a tantrum and demand to see a doctor if an NP walked into his or his family member's room. Then refuse to be seen by a resident, demand to see an attending, ask the attending for their credentials, and then insinuate they better do as asked or he will call his hospital board member buddy.

Well, that's what it looks like when a op-ed writer has a chip on his shoulder and puts in minimal effort. He doesn't actually want to live in a world where anybody can practice medicine.
