If you're a midlevel and you don't know what it is from or what it is called, I highly doubt you know how to treat it. #Noctor #PhysicianAssistant #PhysicianAssociate #MedSchoolMatters #StopScopeCreep #MedTwitter

If you feel disrespected by being called an "assistant" (your job title is literally #PhysicianAssistant ), then maybe you should've gone to medical school and completed residency instead of taking the shortcut that is PA school. #StopScopeCreep #MedSchoolMatters #MedTwitter

@chrissyfreeMD It's infuriatingly ironic, especially since I've yet to see any midlevel NP/PA stay even a minute past the end of their shift. Doesn't matter if there's still work to be done - they just don't have the drive, work ethic, or ambition for quality patient care that physicians do.

Terms such as “resident,” “fellow” and “attending” represent a historical role for physicians within medicine. But in recent years, #PhysicianAssistant and #NursePractitioner programs have begun using similar terminology, which may perplex patients.

Exhibit A: How to potentially lose your medical license and get reamed by not one, but two medical boards and potentially the feds if something bad happens. The exploitation of physicians and the renting of their medical licenses to midlevels needs to stop. #MedTwitter

Midlevels need to start realizing that public criticism and commentary in response to their own social media posts does not constitute "criminal harassment". You don't get to accuse us of a crime just because your feelings got hurt, and we don't take such accusations lightly.

It's always funny when midlevels we feature threaten to sue us. They never give a straight answer when we ask what they're going to sue us for. In any case, I guess they realize it's better that their incompetence and misconduct not be publicly documented in the legal record.

The @AAPAorg thinks it's "simply untrue" that graduating EM physicians are “significantly more qualified to fill these patient care roles.” What is untrue about an ER doc with 4 yrs of med school + 3-4 yrs of EM residency being more qualified than a PA?

@yejnes If you really think a physician could have "just as easily" misread a CT scan (let alone made all the other errors that this NP made), perhaps that reflects more on your own aptitude (or lack thereof) for the practice of medicine.
