Physicians for Patient Protection

[Dantrolene FC]

Hey, I shared this on the medical students forum. I figured I’d share it here too since y’all probably don’t read the student forums.

PPP is a group that is advocating for physician lead care, i.e. they’re against mid level independence.

I think the airplane analogy is very accurate. If anything, at least the captain would be directly supervising the co-pilot aka stewardess. In medicine, the MD indirectly supervises the NP/PA.

The only difference between a regular NP and a DNP 6 months and “vigorous research”, i.e. an undergraduate level QI project.

I’ve seen them and yeah it wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

One of the SRNA’s project where I rotated at was to measure the amount of bacteria on rolls of tape in the OR.

I your SRNA might have plagiarized that idea and also likely the entire paper.

I predict a significant increase in health care spending due to unnecessary testing and specialist referrals, increase in complication due to misdiagnosis... but hey nurse practitioners are nice to patients so that doesnt matter!
