[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 10270, member: 1697"] actually that "rudeness" can detract from proper treatment, becuz if in being rude the doctor is not LISTENING and HEARING your symptoms and complaints, they will not be able to have a clear picture of what the problems are. And antibiotics issues are not always just a "simple" matter- it is the misuse overuse and improper use of antibiotics that is thought to be a huge contributing factor in antibiotic resistant problems currently going on. A "great" adv nurse practioner can be every bit as knowledgeable as a doctor can be. ANd not all nurse practitioners are paid less than docs. And depending on their education, some adv prac nurse practitioners do teach some classes to doctor students. There are good and bad in all professions, and there are differences in professions-----and truth told, lots of what our kids are being diagnosis'ed with and the treatments being used on our kids- it is all new relatively speaking in the world of medicine, and how great your treatment might be can depend a lot on field experience of the care provider. All the local docs in my area- 8 for my dtr alone- none of them would even consider my dtrs symptoms as anything to even SEE her for------nevermind the school was demanding it....our docs were closed minded back then and they clung to the belief of old- it was parenting and nothing more. It was our adv prac nurse who got the ball rolling, ordered MRIs etc and did more than simply dismiss us. ANd I cannot even tell you how many times it was when I called my doctor for something and my doctor would say "gee, I do not know, let me grab the nurse" ADvanced practice nurses are professionals in their own right and are also as legally liable as a doctor. and they can be every bit as knowledgeable in their chosen field. Having an adv practice nurse is not accepting less than The Best. [/QUOTE]
