So you're going to have a nurse practitioner look after your kids rather than a pediatrician (based on some corporate hospital sponsored BS research)? Good luck

So you're going to have a nurse practitioner look after your kids rather than a pediatrician (based on some corporate hospital sponsored BS research)? Good luck with that. The problem with this line of thought is sometimes patients arrive that look like they have routine conditions (ear infection) which turn out to be not so routine (otitis media with encephalitis or a nasopharyngeal carcinoma). Or do you think NPs know a lot about sub-speciality presentations based on their two years of training? People forget that physicians are the actual expertise in the hospital (there's a reason its 4 years med school plus a residency plus fellowships).
