Dept of Education just removed nurse practitioner, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, and physician associates just to name a few as professionals? This is causing a huge uproar that can cause Trump midterm issues. Anyone do a deep dive?

"Department of Education press secretary for higher education Ellen Keast told Newsweek: "This is fake news at its finest. The Department has had a consistent definition of what constitutes a professional degree for decades and the consensus-based language aligns with this historical precedent. The committee, which included institutions of higher education, agreed on the definition that we will put forward in a proposed rule. We’re not surprised that some institutions are crying wolf over regulations that never existed because their unlimited tuition ride on the taxpayer dime is over.""
I just had a wound care nurse here at my home. She's livid! If this is indeed fake news and hope it is just that. Someone needs to get ahead of this and speak about it publicly.
Of course she's livid; she listens to the fear/rage box we call a TV
good
they should all lose their license after clot shot fiasco
Sigh
Let me see if I can explain to you how this actually works.
When a drug hits the market, all a physician has to go on in terms of the drugs effectiveness is WHAT THE DRUG COMPANY TELLS THEM.
Your average physician does not sit in a lab research and develop a formula. Nor does he run trials on a drug. He talks to a drug rep. He gets a brochure. He has to believe that the drug company is telling the truth about a drug's effectiveness and side effects.
That whole Covid BULLSHIT was the result of the government sticking its nose into medicine and letting one egomaniac (Fauci) create chaos.
Many doctors and nurses were FORCED to take the clot shot to keep their jobs and feed their families. You might say, "they shoud of, they could of" -- but if they had children -- they had responsibilities. You can't judge someone for wanting to feed their kids.
I was actually glad my husband had already retired before Covid hit so it wasn't an issue for him. But a lot of younger docs weren't so lucky.
You THINK you know what is going on in medicine. BELIEVE ME -- YOU DON'T. The days of the independent practitioner are long gone. These new young docs are corporation SLAVES. They have limited options in terms of patient care.
My husband was an independent practitioner until the day he retired. So thank God he never had to deal with some corporate bean counter telling him what he could, should, or could, should, not do with his patients. If you think any of those medical professionals -- be they doctors or nurses, really had a choice during the Covid bullshit -- I can sell you a bridge in Brooklyn cheap.
I watched a lot of good doctors walk when Obamacare was coming in. That’s when the healthcare dynamic really changed. Covid showed us what it turned into.
They were probably close to retirement. Someone fresh out of med school with education debt wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.
But even so, retiring isn't easy especially if patients have come to depend on you. We had patients sobbing in the office begging him not to leave. He had already held out on retiring because of them. Finally -- I told him he deserved a chance to live for himself for a change. It was time.
He was the real deal and I am very proud of him. I often ask him if he misses it and he says that yes -- he misses doing what he did but he doesn't miss dealing with the insurance companies and all the nonsense that developed over the years since he first went into practice.
If he and some of the guys he trained with (all crackshot docs who worked in the trenches and didn't waste their time with medical politics) ever advised President Trump on medicine -- things would be a whole lot better.
But as long as they get their advice from the academic docs who are knee deep in politics things will remain frankly, crappy. Most of those academic docs don't actually see patients and haven't since they've been out of their residencies. Oh, they may parade around the hospital -- but they don't actually do a whole heck of a lot.
It's the guys like my husband who are (or were) in the O.R. every day or other departments that have their pulse on what really goes on, what's really needed, and how to improve things.
Tell your husband I said to thank him for his service. I am so black pilled with western medicine it’s sad. I trained as a Medical Assistant. The EMR requirement was being pushed through by the Obama admin at the time.You’re right about the age groups leaving. If the house was paid off they were out. The biggest complaint when I asked them why was that they had very little authority to practice medicine the way they saw fit. Regulations and reporting requirements, hands tied because they must prescribe a bunch of hoops for the patient to jump through before the insurance would agree to pay for the doctor’s recommended protocol, etc. The last straw for many was the Covid shot. Now, it’s like Ideocracy out there. If the computer isn’t telling these “professionals” what to do, they’re lost.
You're exactly right. My husband isn't the message board type but if I could get him on here he'd give you the exact same reasons why he felt medicine went to hell since he first began practicing. He only stayed as long as he did because he had patients who stayed with him for years and kept coming back. He felt obligated to stay for them. But he was terribly frustrated with the insurance companies and felt they were interfering with quality patient care.
He was never a political man and hated it when he'd see the conniving that went on among the academics. They'd show up to present papers at medical conventions (usually written by their residents with credit claimed by the top dog who had nothing to do with the paper). My husband would go to keep abreast of the latest developments in his field but couldn't tolerate these people. But these are the doctors that form the AMA which, the government gets its information from. They never ask the actual practicing physicians anything about what they actually need to get the job done.
My husband's favorite comment was that the only people the AMA represent was themselves --.because actual practicing docs hate that organization.
If it makes you feel any better -- my husband did have students over the years. So I guarantee you that some docs in Chicago do know their stuff. He saw to that.
God bless you both. That action of teaching will one day be considered a legacy.
This place, too, has a narrative. They don't like it when you don't blame EVERY SINGLE doctor for doing the same thing they've always done.
This. On so many levels. Thank you for sharing. Dr's are generally useful idiots, no less than politicians. Its not their job to dive onto the dark web and read what we read.
They could have refused.
And if they refused they would have been fired.
You don't understand that the concept of an independent practitioner no longer exists. The docs are all corporate SLAVES. They do what they are told or they get fired.
You've also forgotten that Covid wasn't the only problem going on in hospitals. The docs and nurses still had to contend with.the usual daily stuff that comes through the door. Everything from heart attacks, to strokes, to gunshot wounds, to mental breakdowns -- whatever comes in MUST be treated.
If they all got fired for refusing to obey their corporate overlords -- just who was supposed to take care of those heart attacks, strokes, gunshot wounds, etc.?
This was a no win situation. If THOSE patients were neglected because the docs refused and got fired -- you'd be complaining that they didn't take care of THEM.
Nurses had no choice either. They are hospital employees.
Uh, you think occupational therapists and clinical psychologists give shots?
I thought the Department of Education was shut down?

I just saw this article and was wondering about it myself.

This can't possibly be true.
Time to get rid of the department of education completely. Let all of the purple haired non-binary Marxist parasites find something productive to do where I don't have to subsidize their degenerate lifestyles.
Tend to agree. Any one trained for a particular position in and outside the Medical field should be considered professionals.
The Dept of Education erred here. Instead of reducing the number of professions the Dept should have reduced the funds for professional grants in a Rockefeller education.
