Nurse practitioners, doctors from third-world hell-holes, whatever...

My baby sister is a Nurse practitioner going on 25 years. She knows more than most doctors.

Who would you rather see? A first or second year resident, or my sister?

Not trying to appear rude but my sister is tops in her field. She's caught more than several misdiagnoses.

I have always had outstanding care from nurse practitioners.

You took that as an insult? I was saying that nurse practitioners are BETTER than seeing most third-world physicians... Believe me, the V.A. has plenty of nurse practitioners, so I’ve been seen by one before.

In 1968,when I was giving birth to my 5th child, a nurse caught an error by an idiot young doctor.

I still remember it,even after all of those years.

My doctor’s office has an NP that I have as a primary and she is very good. Besides there are two doctors there if an extra opinion is needed.

I have only experienced excellent care going to nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
