re: #286 windupbird is in the gravity well
often, nurse practitioners offer superior care to doctors
sometimes you don’t need a diagnostician hammer who sees your health as a nail and has no time for you besides writing a scrip
sometimes the option is to seek care from someone who is not being actively lobbied by the AMA to avoid treatments that can’t be monetized
I love Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.
Leaves the doctor free to see people who really need a doctor and the Nurse and PA’s tend to be the kind of people who can feel you out to make sure you might not really need to see the doctor.
