I quit my job because they were forcing me to sign the charts of mid levels I do not trust. I feel bad for the patients left behind. Here to share my story.

[doctor @NotANoctor]

Fast track to Become a Nurse Practitioner! completely online! training. No boring textbooks! Classes only once a week! This is the face of Full Practice Authority. TERRIFYING. @AchieveTestPrep

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

NEW JERSEY PEEPS(Docs and the public)-don't let this s**t happen! NPs are at it again--demanding legislators who don't know jack about medicine to permit them to practice medicine w/o a medical license. Note #3 in the attachment. Dangerous as f**k.

[doctor @NotANoctor]

The attached photo is of a NEGATIVE rapid flu test done on a patient. The NP who did the test argued with her that this was a positive test and ordered a number of medications that...surprise - she could purchase right there in CVS.

The ILLUSION of care is deadly and dangerous

[Doctor≠Provider @DontSayProvider]

If we don’t stop using the “provider” word, more and more insults like this will occur.

What will it take for you to fight for your profession? When will you start?

[independent physician @independentMDs]

When hospitals replace retiring physician with ‘independent’ mid levels….what’s the next move?

[DrQuinn @DrQuinn15]

@independentMDs @MidlevelCare Move to a country that uses real doctors!

And meanwhile get a medical directive re non-physicians in your chart.

@DrQuinn15 The patient never mentioned it, but the idiot non-doctor didn’t ask and they didn’t ask because they didn’t know to ask because they don’t know anything because they didn’t go to medical school!!!

[DrQuinn @DrQuinn15]

These are coming so fast at this point it’s a tragedy…

Patients better wake up. Everyone not “WOKE” to this problem is in danger.

NEVER SEE A LOOSELY/or (un) SUPERVISED NPP FOR ANY DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT DECISION.

[doctor @NotANoctor]

@Suburbanbella Well put

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

This message could not be more on point. Devaluation of education should never, ever be acceptable. Because there would no longer be pursuit of excellence, only pursuit of mediocrity.

[Ernesto Gutierrez, MD @erngut]

As physicians we are trained to glorify “putting ourselves last” as part of “the calling”.

F*ck that.

Let’s glorify:
• Decent shifts
• No scope creep
• Appropriate and timely pay
• Practicing without 3rd-party interference

[TX400/Texas Physicians for Patients @txp4p]

AGGRESSION AGAINST OUR PROFESSION.
For any physician out there who thinks it will never happen- being replaced by Dunning-Kruger NPs- this is just a sample of their confidence that they already have succeeded.
If you want to stop this, HELP US! DONATE at the pinned post.

[TX400/Texas Physicians for Patients @txp4p]

If you don’t know about Betty Wattenbarger, you should.
This is her dad, heartbroken b/c a NP failed to recognize an obvious diagnosis, and Betty lost her life. Moreover, she led him to believe his daughter was in the hands of a physician. #txlege @GregAbbott_TX @VoiceforBetty

[doctor @NotANoctor]

This is a disaster!!! I’m so terrified for the medical students and future patients of this institution!

[UNT Health Fort Worth @unthealth]

The University of North Texas System Board of Regents announced the selection of Dr. Sylvia Trent-Adams as the sole finalist for president of The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (HSC).

Yep. As it should be.

"By all means, try intubating a preemie 11 times"

Incompetent neonatal #NursePractitioners are all too common these days.

@mursebigford @DGlaucomflecken Midlevel is the term the federal government uses, so take it up with them.

[doctor @NotANoctor]

100% - The term provider was purposely made up to confuse the public into not knowing the difference between a hospital, an urgent care clinic, a nurse, and a medical doctor. #ItsAllADistraction #MedTwitter

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

It’s all a distraction

[Patients First @HalstedMD]

Non-physician practitioner refers patient to neurology clinic for multiple sclerosis, prompted by imaging read

[Kolin Meehan, MD @MeehanKolin]

@Oga_DoctorBlue @Raf_Perz @DrReneezy Weird, it's almost like training in "healthcare" is useless and patients should follow with an actual Doctor of Medicine @amytownsendmd @silverdalepeds

[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

Tired of high drug prices and drug shortages? Me too!
Here is why we have them.
and why the @FTC @linakhanFTC should investigate then bust up the monopolized #PBM
