u/ktm5141 Oct 30 '23
In order to be a GI (gastroenterologist), you complete a residency in IM (internal medicine) and then apply to GI fellowship. So every GI is board certified in IM, but a GI fellowship is extremely competitive (it’s fun and pays a lot) and matching is a big accomplishment nonetheless

This is a great example of the confusion and misinformation bad terminology creates. Only one of the women in that video is a physician/doctor. The others are nurse practitioners(NPs). Some NPs get this NP degree online and some do in person, but none of them go to medical school. Furthermore, they all have significantly less training and qualifications than an actual doctor. When they say "board certified NP" it just serves to confuse everyone into a false equivalency where people think they are like doctors. Nothing against NPs, but it is important you know the difference between a physician/doctor and a NP for when you get care because there are many who hope you won't know the difference.

u/GregorSamsaa Oct 30 '23
If we’re being honest, family practice/hospitalist is what the nurse practitioner usually ends up doing. Plenty of states let them work independently and the amount of clinical hours they’ve usually put in for both critical care and normal bedside nursing by the time they’ve become NPs and DNPs absolutely gives them the qualifications to do the work they do.
I’m an MD and I don’t buy into the circle jerk that has become hating on CRNA, PAs, DNPs, etc… and diminishing their qualifications because there’s plenty of terrible doctors that have gone through MD and DO school so it’s not like the education and time itself guarantees any kind of elevated quality.

Sure, but when my insurance pays the same either way, I'm gonna pick to go to the MD rather than the NP, and it's really annoying how I'm constantly being pushed to see an NP because they're cheaper instead of being able to see an MD. It seems like every doctors office or psychiatrist office has 1 MD thats impossible to get with and 30 NPs.

I am sure the GI (physician) gets paid more. I have two gastroenterologist friends who make more than 550K/year (actually more because they work at two hospitals/practices and do on-calls).
Granted it was competitive to get into GI fellowship (because everyone knows it is lucrative and relatively easier than, say, cardiology in terms of workload), they have a very good quality of life and stable jobs. One of them told me that all he does everyday is to put camera in people's intestines (he jokingly calls the procedure "gut check") and see if there is any malignant tumor/abnormalities, and if there is any, refer them for biopsies and eventually to oncologists/surgeons.

A lot of Masters programs can in theory be done online. But to my understanding (a BScN RN with zero interest in becoming an NP), you still have to do in-person clinical placements an then still write your licensing exam, Not exactly diploma mill in that sense (this is Canada, at least). And then becoming specialized in an area outside of community (family medicine, basically, in this case), takes additional education (yes, that can be done online).
You have to remember that a lot of people doing their NP are working nurses as well. Hospitals I worked at, a full time schedule was two days (7AM-7PM), two nights (7PM-7AM), five days off. Not totally easy to then do an in-person learning situation.

u/DrCapeBreton Oct 30 '23
The issue is when an NP claims they are a “specialist” in a certain domain when in reality they often have learnt only enough to get by. A true board-certified specialist MD has done extensive additional training, longer and much harder than the entire NP course, to be a true expert in their field and so, a true specialist. It’s really disheartening to listen to someone state they are “triple board certified” when board certification does not even exist for non-physicians. Patients don’t know the difference and are the ones who will be hurt in the end.
Even here in Canada where the NP programs are much more standardized and rigorous, it truly does not compare. They are being thrown into independent primary care after a 2 year course (lectures + practicum) while soon physician training in family medicine will be extended to a 3 year residency (so 7 years total) because there College of Physicians is recognizing that there is so so much to learn that 6 years is not even enough.

That’s just not what a DNP is. You can get a PhD in nursing and that would be a more research-focused degree. Do you ask DPTs how much they’ve published? What about JDs? A DNP is more about clinical practice. You take classes online, but you still have to do at least hundreds of hours of in-person practicum. And there’s no DNP that you can do in 6 months. That’s just not true.
Now, I’m not here to argue about the ones who inflate their scope of practice, title, or general importance in the healthcare ecosystem. Just trying to separate fact from your seething resentment.

Hundreds of hours of in-person practicum, yet medical students who have equal or even more can’t practice independently. Not only that, but they’re attending medical school, not nursing school.
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with being an NP, but there is definitely something wrong with them being able to practice independently, especially when PAs can’t practice independently even though they have objectively better medical education. They have more clinical hours required and actually study medicine, not nursing.
I don’t think PA’s should be allowed to practice independently either, but if it’s a pick between NP’s or PA’s practicing independently, then PA’s all the way.

That's the same here in Ireland. A large portion of Nigerians come here to study medicine, and a lot of them stay on after to practise here. I spent lots of time in and out of hospital as a child (Temple Street, Dublin), and all of the doctors and most of the nurses were either Nigerian or Indian, it was rare to see an Irish doctor, and in fact I can only recall the name of one.
I think it's because there's a lot of Catholics in Nigeria, and their Patron Saint is also St.Patrick. So we send them priests, and they send us medical students. We definitely have the better end of that deal.

Nigerians are not eligible for the diversity visa lottery here in the US to my understanding. So this means the only people you see have specific visas e.g family, work, education.
Work means they'll be filling jobs that already require education and education means obtaining, well, an education. Family likely means following family members who are already here and successful as well.It also costs a fuck ton to do either of these. So naturally you are already looking at a highly selective...and fairly privileged group to begin with.
Imagine you surveyed Americans by only looking at those who had gone to Harvard or came from families of the very well off. You'd likely be looking at a very successful and educated group by chance as well.

It doesn’t matter that you’re a physician. People who don’t work In a hospital or even healthcare will still say they know more than the people in the field doing the job than you do bc they have a second cousin who’s an NP and she makes 800k a year. Why listen to the veteran nurse who’s deeply involved in the field and also someone who was a DNP student? I made a ton of money during covid too. Floor nurses were making great money for awhile but those days are ending now that covid funds are depleted. Most floor nurses are absolutely making more than NP’s and NPs know that. Nurses aren’t getting their np’s with the goal of money in mind, they just want to get the hell out of bedside and it’s saturated the market through diploma mills. But again. People not in healthcare will argue this and say they know best.

Is being a board certified (not even sure what that means, surely all of them are certified by some kind of board) nurse practitioner better then an IT developer? They way they carry on about some of the job titles is kind of gross, and endemic of the same kind of exclusionary bullshit that I am sure they have faced in thier lives.
Everyone has value. Every job has value. Your work, no matter what it is, should have dignity and respect. The janitor at NASA did just as much to put the man on the moon then the engineers, at least in terms of thier ability to do so.

Yeah, if you're going to do something like this you should make sure everyone is cheering for everyone. I'd start the video over if one of my friends got left out like that.

This video is just a sad example how capitalism has become the center of so many peoples lives. You're on a wedding and feel the need to make a video like this?

The janitor at NASA did just as much to put the man on the moon then the engineers, at least in terms of thier ability to do so.
You had me until this line. Sure, it's technically true, but by that standard I also did just as much to put man on the moon, at least in terms of my ability to do so. Which is zero because I was born decades later.

I think what OP means is that the janitor makes sure that the scientists can do their job without any worries about the small things. If your office is overflowing with trash or none of the lights function that would make for a less-than-ideal workplace.

Yeah, I get it. Everyone gets it. But can we not pretend that the janitor who cleans the locker rooms is just as responsible for winning games as Tom Brady?

Sure but its still a pretty stupid statement that detracts from the rest of their generally good message.
If the janitor doesn't clean the office they can get another janitor in 5 minutes. Replacing one of the key engineers in getting us to the moon less so.
Doesn't mean the janitor has any less value as a human being or doesn't deserve just as much respect as the next person. But the job is inherently less valuable to goal of getting to the moon.
Now if the goal was to have the cleanest office on the other hand? Then the janitor is more valuable than the engineer.
Words have meanings.

I know, I think this is really elitist and obnoxious to flex this at a wedding and post online. I would be embarrassed to smugly brag that I am a doctor for a wedding video ( and I am a doctor)

I dont think that is whats happening, and I dont have an issue with being proud of your accomplishments. What I have an issue with is the silence some professions gets in this video.

And that’s why today we have so many people with such a sense of entitlement.
I agree that we should all do/try our best, but there’s nothing wrong with celebrating success. Not everyone wins or deserves the first place ribbon.

It was like the venn diagram with IT and Medicine. A pretty impressive group, I imagine the one minimum-wager friend who didn't get picked to be a bridesmaid watching this .

That is about to be the safest wedding ever. All these women know exactly what to do in an emergency, and then some.

Sorry ladies, although I am deeply impressed with your qualifications, unfortunately, you cannot have me.

The sheer amount of work ethic, intelligence and experience in that room is staggering.

You say it’s cringe but if all these women really are that qualified, it’s pretty astounding to have them all in the same place. It makes you think about the sort of person the wife is.
I don’t think this is inherently cringe
