Make Algorithms Great Again

Why bother learning medicine when there's an easy algorithm for everything?

Nurse Practitioner

It's just a flesh wound

We would be truly horrified if this was an actual patient case, but thankfully, based on the comments of this post, it appears that this is none other than this nurse practitioner's very own finger! Can anyone give her some pointers? We're not too sure that soliciting medical advice from

NP just feels like insulin shouldn't be started yet

Starting a patient like this on metformin is like pissing into the wind.

Don't order lab tests that you don't know how to interpret

Your understanding of this result...is wrong.

Now you know how physicians feel

Oh, the irony!

The pot calling the kettle black

Haha, as if the AANP and their NPs aren't being disrespectful when they claim to provide the same or better care as physicians do...

I might not be a psychiatrist, but I remember being extensively tested on bipolar disorder, depression, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, etc. not only during my medical school psychiatry rotation, but also on the USMLE. What does it say about the state of their education when a PMHNP needs "good tables or

Thyroid storm

So much fail, indeed. How do you jump from palpitations in what sounds like an otherwise healthy patient with normal vital signs to thyroid storm? Does this NP even know what thyroid storm is? Clearly, the answer is no. I'm no endocrinologist, but I paid enough attention in medical school

Have your cake and eat it too

So you want a challenge, eh? You want that "extra push"? Not sure how challenging it'll be to buy an NP degree from a 100% online, for-profit diploma mill program. May we suggest the challenge of four years of medical school, followed by a 5 (or more)-year general surgery

One of the AANP's favorite talking points to expand the number of nurse practitioners and support their push for full practice authority is that, supposedly, an increase in the size of the NP workforce will lead to an increase in access to primary care in rural areas. However, multiple studies
