@jason_ryanmd Absolutely, it’s a common trap to fall into. We’ve all been in those shoes of not knowing at some point. Let’s not forget how we all started. Patience in teaching the basics will go a long way.

@PhysicianDoodle 😲 that’s intense! 👏 to you for stepping in to help. It’s great to have professionals around in emergencies. I think he or she (nurse) was not able to recognize you immediately. I do hope the nurse apologized to you for what happened & hope everyone involved was OK as well.

@CMichaelGibson though experience in the field may help with primary care. in my opinion, allowing nurses to assume MD roles may not be ethical. it misaligns with their role as nurse. it also deprives px to be seen by an MD. it will eventually lead to whole new level of problems in the future.
