The real consequence of having nurses play doctor. Education and training matter. A false narrative of equal care led to this girls needless death. Medicine is not algorithmic. It is highly nuanced. Don’t let this happen in CA #NoAb890@GavinNewsom https://t.co/LOpQQEDpeC
#AB890 is a false promise. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom reject AB890.
COSTS ⬆️ as consolidation occurs & as NPs are allowed to practice independently: https://t.co/AFMr5rwdnw
But...AB890 does NOT ⬆️ access to care: https://t.co/EP3ABqqwTs
#NoAB890 @CMAdocs
#AB890 would create a 2-tiered health care system.
@CAGovernor@GavinNewsom should reject this deeply flawed proposal.
AB890:
•Excludes patient protections
•Fails to fix rural access
•Propels spending
•Risks physician loss

-Inappropriate treatment of worsening hyperthyroidism with anti-psychotic
-Failure to follow medical standard for management of potential testicular torsion(time=testicle)
-Failure to request assistance by supervising anesthesiologist
The “absence of logic never ceases to amaze me: If physicians, who are the only ones educated, trained and licensed to practice medicine can make errors, what the hell do legislators expect to happen with... [NPs] who have limited to no FORMAL medical education?”
“[Those that say] ‘physicians make mistakes also’ must be reminded that there is a difference between making a mistake when one possesses the requisite knowledge and is INCOMPETENT and when one doesn’t because they are UNQUALIFIED.”
#toomanytocountnpp edition
-Failure to diagnose appendicitis, despite concerning exam
-Failure to address jaundice in an acute setting
Patients beware! Ask for a physician or closely supervised non-physician.

Legislators knew & “passed this godforsaken law anyway. The legislators are 100% culpable for any damage that results by their assistance in perpetuating this travesty of medicine.”
Here some horror examples we expect to see more of due to this law.

“[In CA] legislators have now legalized the illegal practice of medicine by nurse practitioners. The only opposition? Dr. Richard Pan, a pediatrician and my senator. His colleagues in the Senate ignored him…completely.”

3 big reasons why letting NPs practice independently is a bad idea:
•It won’t solve the rural access problem.
•It will raise health care costs, not cut them.
•It threatens patient safety.
@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom should veto #AB890 https://t.co/DTuOZ3FibU
.@AmerMedicalAssn urges @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to veto #AB890. Concerned it will:
•Not expand access to care in rural & underserved areas
•⬆️ overall health care costs
•Threaten health & safety of patients in CA

Well what a shock. Newsom signed SB145, the bill that allows a 24 year old to have sex with a 14 year old and escape a felony conviction and requirement to be a registered sex offender. Absolutely disgusting.
If @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom wants to ensure access to care, he will reject #AB890.
States that require NP collaboration see:
7 of the 10 top states for retention of physicians - https://t.co/Tfvs9VFfiW
Greater ⬆️in number of NPs
