@ Mr. Stickball.
I love Ron Paul. Alot. But this...
Ironically, Ron Paul (a doctor) has the best solution: Allow RNs a greater degree of freedom in medicine. If they were allowed to diagnose and perscribe routine medicines for patients, you'd free up many, MANY doctors for doing what they were designed to: fix the major problems in surgeries, and as specialists.
Make no sense. I love the Idea. But as a future Rn. Dumb. Thats why we have nurse practitioners. You shouldn't be on the same level as a doctor without a masters degree.
OFF TOPIC: MD's are 50% assholes or 50% nicest people on earth. SURGEONS: All of them will tell you they are gods. There is one at a hospital that won't prescribe analgesics for a vag hyst because he feels that they don't need it. Disgusting.
Edit- also surgeons aren't even usually employed by hospitals, except for the ER. They rent out the OR's.
