Unfortunately, I have worked with some NP's that were absolutely aweful. One disliked consulting physicians because "Dr. so and so doesn't like me", so he just did his own thing. Another NP came up to my attending with a radiograph and said "this is an ankle of a kid, could you look at this, I'm not good at the epiphiseal plate thingies..." .
THingies? Another, thought that a pt had either Bells Palsy or had a stroke, and wanted to treat the pt with Racemic Epinephrine because the pt's voice was scratchy. What!!!?? That doesn't make a bit of sense.
I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't there ALL THREE TIMES!!
Listen, this is gonna get scarier and worse before it gets better, and these episodes will stick in my mind for a long time!! And the way things are going, something terrible will happen...and the physician will get sued.
