Sure it makes sense... think of a Pareto distribution... 80/20 rule... a Nurse Practitioner can do 80% of what a Dr can do... 80 of people show up for cold / flu / stitches / shots / basic triage.
This is already happening except at the corporate level... think of all the "Doc In A Box" at the drug stores that are popping up... BUT instead of you SAVING money and the nurse getting PAID moar money... the Harvard types have figured out how to fuck both...
In addition to that ... the NP would probably start making house calls in a well equipped van...
Think differently than what "They" allow you to and the world is a better place...
And it's OK to be rude... Thomas Jefferson would approve... let all ideas out and the shitty ones will get shot down early.
We agree with basic triage of course. But there is knowledge and training and practice that they won’t just pick up on the job. Basic things yes in fact I have some nurse practitioners that can do this just fine but they still would work under my guidance and umbrella. We agree and we disagree but handshake anyway
And I'm buying the next round...
