The slippery slope fallacy may apply here, but discounting the argument entirely, just because of that, is committing the fallacy fallacy. It won't happen in a day, but this encroachment into the physicians' scope of practice will happen if we don't stop it.
And anyway, who cares if they want the bread-and-butter easy stuff, right?
Well, I do. The bread-and-butter stuff that doctors do every day is the crap that makes them money in the first place so they can keep working.
Take the 99% away, the horses, and leave the hard stuff, and the zebras to the physicians, and guess who's going to go broke then?
