When you go to see a doctor, you expect to be seen & treated by one. Doctors offices these days don't even bother to tell you that your appt was setup with a nurse! There does seem to be ambiguity. How am I to know if a doctor or a nurse is the best for a particular medical condition? Afterall, with med school being so much more expensive & intensive than nurse training, there has got to be difference between the two. How is a lay person to judge the difference in quality of treatment? And why should we pay for the same cost of medical insurance to receive service from a nurse? I am confused & feel we have lost control over the medical care we get!
