jmj11 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Here is a response, I think from a doc, on my U Tube video about our fair profession. I've responded before, but if you feel so inclined you can follow the link. A PA is NOT a physician, stop pretending it is. They have on the job training, not theoretical medical knowledge. Medical knowledge is not only on the job but it's major theoretical training. For a PA to be able to do this, he is assuming the role of an MD. This is fraud and would signify the evolution of unregulated health care practitioners replacing regulated MDs and NPs. A good picture would be a monkey with a prescription pad. is what he is responding to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigk Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Speechless, such bitterness and arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contrarian Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Pretty typical and sounds like it could be one of the former PA-C's turned Physician that posts on this site... :heheh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkertdm Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Monkey with a prescription pad describes every primary care "physician" I've ever seen. The thing that "Dr Rawrs" misses is that he has to see a patient what, every 4 minutes just to break even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemedic13 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Obviously a troll, maybe a med student? If he is anti-PA why in the hell would he mention NPs as someone better? No physician I have met against midlevels supports NPs over PAs. They either hate them both, or hate only the NPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdavis Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Most def a troll. Probably an NP searching YouTube for self owned clinics. No MD or med student would place NPs on equal footing with MDs as this guy did. Eff him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted April 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2011 humm I wonder how he would feel about PA's if he was the guy that I just Dx intermittent mesenteric ischemia on that had seen numerous doc's that never figured it out, or the guy who was depressed and no energy and had already seen both his PCP and an intern and was recomended to seek counseling that had a testosterone level under 100 (WAY low - but no doc ever checked it) but I did. would he still think that PA's are dummies? or just playing doctor? At the same time Doc's have taught me things and caught things I have missed. It is the TEAM approach that is what is best for patients and this team can be lead by a Doc, but there is many other critical people to it...... or maybe it was just a troll coming out from underneath the garbage littered subterrain location he/she calls home.....

andersenpa Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 99% sure this is an NP. I agree w the above, they are grouping themselves w docs to continue the nursing mantra MD =NP......both > PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnel Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Sounds like a preceptor I had in school. She was actually MD turned into a PA, due to her MD license being in a foreign country. She was pretty bitter and hated PAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmj11 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah, I think you guys are correct. Indeed, she seems to be a Canadian nurse if you look at her youtube site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
