    Scope creep is very real & not a problem limited to one region or country. We are all patients.

    When the “resident” walks in to take care of you, you should not have to wonder if they went to medical school. Patients need words to mean things. Patients need clinical transparency. Stop shuffling titles to confuse them.

    Doctors 👏🏼 do👏🏼not👏🏼get👏🏼paid👏🏼to👏🏼prescribe👏🏼medications! Period. Full stop. We are paid to care for patients, not to prescribe. And our compensation does not depend on what meds we prescribe. STOP THE LIES. @SeemaCMS

    One fact remains – our current system is creating more incentives for manufacturers to increase costs. The more the drug costs, the more the doctor is paid, but it’s the patients who pay more.

    What a #MATCHDAY ! This mom/daughter pair BOTH matched today! Mom was a Nurse Practitioner who wanted a more solid foundation for her patients, so she went to medical school—at the same time as her daughter, whom she raised as a single mom. These women are #heroes .

    Thank you for telling the stories of these young lives lost. Every patient deserves physician-led care and truth and transparency regarding healthcare credentials.

    Eliminating physician supervision and allowing nurses to administer anesthesia with no physician oversight results in zero cost savings for patients...It simply lowers the standard of care for patients. @ASALifeline @AmCollSurgeons

    Every patient deserves physician-led care. Thank you. @AmerMedicalAssn , for saying it out loud.
    Patients win when each member of their health care team plays the role they are educated and trained to play. That includes care led by physicians—the most highly educated, trained and skilled health care professionals. spr.ly/6011H6OWZ #StopScopeCreep

    Physicians undergo at least 7 years and 10,000 hours of clinical training in medicine. NPs are vital to patient care but engage in a different educational pathway focused on nursing science with the addition of 500-1000 hours of introductory medical training.

    “Researchers found that treatment by a nurse practitioner resulted on average in a 7% increase in cost of care and an 11% increase in length of stay, extending patients' time in the ER by minutes for minor visits and hours for longer ones.”
