Do you still get doctors for primary care? Our local hospital is hiring nothing but nurse practitioners now.
They're amazing in a support role, but not equipped as well for primary care roles.

If you present with anything other than healthy and fine, the ones I have had to see are less than helpful.
They simply do not have the depth or breath of training as a doctor. They're very good at executing a plan as part of a care team, and even making changes to that plan based on patient need. But they just simply aren't as good as doctors.
There's a reason they're replacing doctors. . . They're cheaper. That's it.
