Tweet Peeps, most of you who know me know that I am a wordsmith. Not quite as exceptional as @OTirmizi, but close. One of my biggest pet peeves is word manipulation. Spinning. Why? Because in some instances, it is intentionally used to deceive. When it deceives the public, I get

2)enraged. So let me demonstrate an example of a hospital's ad to provide consult services for Endocrinology, specifically, diabetes. So the "specialists" in the ad are two NPs. Deceitful act #1: One NP is described as a "board-certified NP who specializes in care for

2)endocrine diseases..." The implication is that he/she is a specialist in diseases of the endocrine system, with a particular focus in DM. His/her memberships includes the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists(-ology)--lending false credibility to his/her being an

Physician colleagues in Texas(and elsewhere), I ask that you please sign this petition for the Wattenbarger family to support them in persuading legislators to pass Betty's Law. This is especially important in light of a proposed bill, HB 2029, which

2)would allow NPs to practice medicine unsupervised. Physicians for Patient Protection(PPP) is vigorously opposing this bill because they don't wish to see any more preventable cases like Betty's. PPP was contacted by the Wattenbarger family when they read about the organization

3)in a news story concerning a NP-run hormone clinic. A community physician, @amytownsendmd, a board member of PPP, was able to get the clinic shut down after two patients died and a child was mismanaged. In both cases, NPs misrepresented themselves and "supervision" was lax.

Peeps, Texas is next on the chopping block for FPA. NPs are at it again, trying to pass legislation(HB 2029) so they can practice unsupervised. If there was ever a time to stand up against, this is it. Physicians from all over, write letters or call Texas

2)legislators. NPs in this forum who oppose FPA, this is your time to put your money where your mouth is. It is not enough to say you don't support it then sit back on your laurels. Write/call the legislators and let them know. I have listed their contact info. Klick is a lost

3)cause--she is the sponsor of the bill. I encourage the public who don't support nurses practicing medicine unsupervised to contact these house members as well. MS legislators had the good sense to recognize that they needed to get more information before passing a bill that

FYI CALIFORNIA PHYSICIANS: As most of you may know, AB 890, the bill sponsored by a nutwad dentist who thinks that NPs and physicians are the same, was passed into law on 9/29/20. As is typical with FPA, the plan on how that law will be executed is disorganized. Oversight by a

2)BON who is not only under investigation for falsifying documents, but who also voted against the bill and wanted no part of supervision but were forced, a weak "advisory" committee to the BON which has no enforcement powers whatsoever, a "transition to practice", provided NPs

3)have 3 years of FT "equivalent" work in good standing, (although this requirement can be modified if they have a DNP degree), etc. The legislature made their intent clear: "2837.100. It is the intent of the Legislature that the requirements under this article shall not be an

I want those of you reading this to understand the significance of this request. Physicians are being asked to function as nurses after some "training". Not NPs who are actually RNs. Not CRNAs who are actually CC RNs. Not LVNs. Not EMTs or paramedics. Physicians. Nursing is

2)not an entry-level position, it requires skill. Expertise. Physicians are not trained to be nurses, although there are a few who were nurses prior to becoming physicians. So exactly what training will be provided since it takes a minimum of 2 years to become an RN(AA degree)?

3)That is, real nurses, not the entry-level degree RNs who don't actually work as RNs. So nursing must be pretty easy if anyone can be trained to do it. Why not contact the ANA or the AANP to ask them to put out the word to their membership and request assistance from actual

thehill.com/opinion/health… Here we go again. This time it is the American Academy of Physician Assistants(AAPA)using the pandemic to push their agenda of Optimal Team Practice aka OTP aka practicing medicine w/o a medical license. Same old broken record of "outdated regulations",

2)designed to protect the public, preventing them from practicing at the "top of their license", which to date, remains undefined. Same old tired a**"studies" that show equivalent or better outcomes than the physicians who train them. Studies that anyone with common sense can

3)review and see how poorly done they are. Same old rhetoric of claiming to want "collaborative" practice while their actions say otherwise. All under the guise of helping fill the physician gap when we have much better options such as unmatched U.S., IMG and FMG graduates.
