Physicians for Patient Protection: Ensuring physician-led care for all patients, and promoting truth and transparency regarding healthcare practitioners.
- #wednesdaywisdom #KnowYourDoctor #patientsafety #patienteducation #empoweredpatient #wokepatient Do you know the #Education and #Training differences between a #medicalstudent, #residentphysician, #Physicians and non physician providers? Here is snapshot.
- 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. @SeemaCMSReplying to @SeemaCMSOne 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.
- Replying to @RichMcHughThank 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
- 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.”
- Medical Students unranking UNC from the Match. See why.
