Bad news: my contract was not renewed and I am now unemployed. Good news: while I look for my next gig, I get to be a stay at home dad.

Happening around the country…emergency physicians being relieved of their duties & replaced w/ cheaper, lesser trained alternatives. Patients will experience longer waits & more testing. There are also a bunch of resident physicians graduating next month who couldn’t find jobs.

The number of clinical supervised hours a physician performs speaks for itself. This is the standard for unsupervised medical practice. Don’t let Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants change the standard of care in the USA. We all deserve physician led care.

We went through 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 3-7 years of residency training not including fellowships. If these people pretending to be Doctors think we don't have the endurance to see this through to the end, then they're beyond wrong. #StopScopeCreep

Patients deserve physician-led care. Patients deserve physicians who are the most highly trained, educated, and skilled healthcare professionals to lead their care team. Physician-led care is and will always be the gold standard. #StopScopeCreep #PatientSafetyMatters #MedTwitter

These are also outdated statistics and use the old MCAT scoring system. Medical school admissions are far more competitive and the MCAT itself is a far more difficult test.
This "Twitter woke" falsehood that anyone could just waltz right into medical school "if they wanted to" needs to stop. The reality is it's one of the most grueling, difficult, strenuous academic pursuits you can undertake. And it SHOULD be. Insanely insulting. #MedTwitter

We urge you all to reach out to your legislators TODAY to encourage them to support physician-led healthcare teams and OPPOSE HB 442. #lalege #MedicalSchoolMatters

Patients: know who is taking care of you! Physicians (who are also patients): know the worth of your education!

Replying to @MidlevelCare
These questions are ridiculously easy and at least 2 of the 6 had nothing to do with clinical medicine. While these NPs are learning how to “exert power” and influence politicians, real doctors are learning how to provide high quality care to patients. This explains a lot 🤦‍♂️

There’s no area of medicine immune from this - people may think it’s absurd an NP would even suggest they could perform stereotactic glioblastoma resection but the hubris of these people prove otherwise

Nurse Practitioners demand “Reimbursement Equity” with Doctors. If they don't get it, they threaten to abandon patients! #StopScopeCreep

I’d eat a shoe if even one NP could explain the mechanism of chromothripsis in leiomyosarcoma. They want to prescribe chemo now, too? bit.ly/2SpJK0c #MedTwitter #StopScopeCreep

Dermatologist gives insight into how important it is to have physician-led care, especially for our most vulnerable populations. This video cannot be shared enough. #StopScopeCreep

Mid-levels are worsening the opioid crisis. Landmark study shows that mid-levels (NP & PA) are 20x more likely to prescribe opioids compared to Physicians! This is why Physician-led care is the safest option for patients. Mid-levels need to be supervised. #MedTwitter

If you’re an anesthesiologist training CRNAs, you’re a fool.

No bill should stand in the way of patient care, especially during a pandemic. While @JBPritzker recently vetoed a bill that would've required docs to pay 9% in prejudgment interest in medical liability cases, a new bill requires 6%. This cannot happen. spr.ly/6010H4DFM
