While you may have worked hard to get your x diploma/certificate; and while it may have been taxing;

“hard” is relative, and based on your inherent intellect.

What you find hard, others may find easy.

This is not an insult against you. It’s just an objective reality.

@bubblebum7 @AdamPatel4545 @Dr_Done_ Well your med school is definitely in the minority theb

[Maria @mariamedicine]

@rsmarcolin @DocOzzieOsborne @Suburbanbella You didn't say just. I did. Because you said they're doing aesthetics and psych as if those are not important.

[Maria @mariamedicine]

@bubblebum7 @AdamPatel4545 @Dr_Done_ Even schools that are separate pre clinical and clinical still learn this info in the first two years...

[Dr Done @Dr_Done_]

🚨 Take a look:

These are the pharmacology questions that PAs were given in their 2nd (final) year.

Try to read any with a straight face, but especially the ones marked wrong.

These are the people demanding prescribing ‘rights’.

10,000 PAs? We’ll need 10,000 coroners.

@Dr_BellaR 'Vocation' is just a way of weaponising substandard pay, substandard working conditions and substandard morale across the board.

@DecisionHygiene 2)Here's the 5th Edition Claims Report. Compare the dataset to the two preceding datasets yourself. This is NPs liability data collected by the NSO. Includes NP-only practices for the first time. Just one liability company. Imagine what the others show.

@traderjodie @Suburbanbella More residency spots will just turn every field into the disaster that is EM now

[Maria @mariamedicine]

@rsmarcolin @DocOzzieOsborne @Suburbanbella Wild that you aren't concerned by NPs in "just" psych. As if those aren't some of the most vulnerable patients and some of the most powerful medications.

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

Musings by Taz..The absurdity of this entire scope creep issue is NPs/PAs having the audacity to be offended that physicians don't support it. It was their leadership who decided arbitrarily, after so many years of being on a supervised team, they no longer wanted that

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

Yo, Allergists/Immunologists, the 13 years it takes you to learn your craft is apparently "easy to master" because it's the same thing "over and over" according to the NP who was a new grad when she began working in your specialty.

@Lizrod2023 @Juliepo57728724 @DrSuneelDhand Ask an actual physician

[Maria @mariamedicine]

@DrSuneelDhand Were the internet points worth it? For your disgusting sellout to your own intelligence and your profession?

[Maria @mariamedicine]

@DiabolicalSpuds @psych_biscuits Unedited? What about PICNIK

Congratulations on becoming a member of an ancient and honorable profession.
You will never be a "provider."
That is a term made up by insurance corps and governments to reduce your influence in the doctor-patient relationship.
Do not allow any denigration.

[Maria @mariamedicine]

Residents should be paid whatever is above a mid-level.

[Maria @mariamedicine]

Would be nice if physicians were paid more baseline without having to negotiate up from ridiculous numbers

[Doctoring Differently | Naomi Lawrence-Reid, M.D. @DocDifferently]

When I graduated from residency, my assistant program director told our class, “Don’t even try to negotiate your salary. It doesn’t work for doctors”.

And that is how my starting full-time pediatrician salary in 2014 was $125,000.
