Every knock's a boost part 2

Patients are their practice (from www.latimes.com)

I work with some really awesome NPs. One has been in rehab at some of the most prestigious institutions for 30 years. Another has extensive neuro ICU and ER experience, which give her amazing depth when dealing with rehab patients.

And it doesn't really surprise me that the doctors mentioned in this story still don't want NPs to be used in primary care. When we have facts that people are not lining up in med school for internal medicine and family practice, what will we do?

It's like the line in Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come." They are coming to see NPs 'cause there's no other option (besides filling the EDs of this country).

Med schools take note: if you have more family practice docs out there, maybe they will really come your way, instead of to an NP.
