A 26-year-old dental student in Connecticut died in an intensive care unit that was overseen by a remote "tele-health" doctor who pronounced him dead on a video screen, a lawsuit says.
Not American nor am I lacking my own doctor but I generally choose to see a specific NP at my clinic over my doctor since she’s able to do everything I’d need my doctor for as well as actually caring to look into my health issues. I went over a decade with crippling digestive issues that I complained about constantly to my doctor but it was always dismissed as anxiety related. It was only the NP who actually cared to get me checked for celiac disease
Not exactly that related of a tangent but just wanted to say bless nurse practitioners 🫡
