Second ER visit in 2 weeks, this time with my ill husband who had fallen and suffered bad cut to head. I was astounded by the incompetence in the ER. No doctors, just a nurse practitioner there this time.

My observation first hand is that starting in 2000, men and women learned that nurses were paid a fair salary and were always in demand. The 2 year community college grad. came out less well prepared and less empathetic, but became a nurse for money. They became lazier and lazier and wanted someone to make decisions for them, they didn’t want to take responsibility for their own actions/decisions and they were unable to problem solve. Then around 2010 most hospitals began to demand a 4 year degree within 5 years of hire. I suspect the same holds true for doctors and DEI may have a lot to do with it. Doctors are taught to prescribe medications, but not get to the root cause.
