Had an interprofessional session about a week ago, and there was this PA student who kept talking about how "everything that a doctor does, we can do it too and better." He repeated it several times and I just kept rolling my eyes at him. I am just extremely pissed off that, while I am trying to stay afloat in the med school curriculum offered at my school and tackling 2-3 tests every week, there are ignorant people like that who say stuff like that, especially they don't take any of the classes that med students have to take. It is extremely frustrating that they dont have a single amount of respect and appreciation for the amount of knowledge we are trying to build and the amount of work and effort that we needed to undertake in order to become a physician.
Then you have midlevels, your NPs and DNPs, RN, MSN, what have you, the people who are so ignorant that they believe that the minimal amount of clinical courses they have to take amount to be "EQUIVALENT" to what a physician-in-training has to go through. Honestly, I am already getting some negative feelings about PAs, and nurses before I even start working in the field. Stuff like how nurses perform equivalent or better than doctors in terms of clinical outcome frustrates the **** out of me. In addition to that, when they say **** like "I have 15+ years of working experience as a nurse, I know as much as a doctor now."
When I am studying every single weekend for the 2-3 tests I have every week, and these people say **** like "oh I am as knowledgeable as doctors" piss me off.
No, you are not the same as doctors. No, you do not know as much as doctors. If you are a nurse or a PA, I expect you do be the best at being a nurse or a PA, not to try and be someone that you aren't.
TLDR: Stupid and ignorant people saying how they have an equal knowledge base compared to doctors, and how their training is somehow superior to doctors.
