I seem to remember when I graduated UCLA’s School of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner Program in 1993, NP’s hired a lobbyist and collected money from nurses to lobby for their right to prescribe. Doctors, who had a bit more influence (money) than NPs, fought us. They DID NOT WANT TO SHARE? Things have changed and many NP’s and doctor…
I seem to remember when I graduated UCLA’s School of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner Program in 1993, NP’s hired a lobbyist and collected money from nurses to lobby for their right to prescribe. Doctors, who had a bit more influence (money) than NPs, fought us. They DID NOT WANT TO SHARE? Things have changed and many NP’s and doctors now work TOGETHER. NP’s are allowed to prescribe in most states. If doctors could fight that hard against fellow healthcare professionals, surely they have some fight left for robots?
Doctors seem to mostly care more about power and keeping their piece of the pie than their patients’ well being 🙄 When I was living in Louisiana, I couldn’t have a midwife and go to a birthing center because the doctors had all managed to chase the midwives out of town. They did everything they could to prevent midwives from practicing. The hospitals and OBs had very high epidural and C-section rates ($$$) so I guess they didn’t want to risk losing that cash cow 🙄
Sadly, doctors are engaged in a different fight, a fight for their right to speak the truth about Covid-19 and not engage in harmful masking, harmful vaccines and all the rest of this plandemic dictatorship. They have necessarily had to take their eyes off the fight “not to share” with fellow professionals OR robots and after all the “fellow professionals” aren’t so bad!
Are doctors unable to say to their patients, “I am unable to offer any advice on covid vaxx because at this time there is insufficient safety and efficacy data and no long term data”.
Well, I know that as a pharmacist I can. . . Pretty much all they have to do is get a package insert, give it to a patient, and tell them that all the known information is on there.
When I became a nurse, and the years working in hospitals, the MD community was territorial. As a profession, stereotype MDs presented themselves as superior to Osteopathic physicians (DO) and even moreso when it came to chiropractors or homeopathic doctors.
When Nursing pursued having its own identity and scope of work, independent of direct supervision and management by doctors, many docs still treated nurses as servants. When Nursing education advanced into Masters and Doctorate degrees, medical organizations fought against NPs and against them prescribing. Then new Healthcare professional roles were developed; the Physican Assistant (PA) and the Surgical Assistant (SA). Both of these are supervised by physicians. So.
Many MDs just don't play well with others unless they get to be in charge.

Oh yeah, it's blank.
I hope so but don’t count on it.

Wow, this is so interesting. Thank you, Mary Ann!!
