I will Agree to disagree. I feel he should have worded it differently. Counseling & the practice of medicine is totally different. Counselors are able to open an independent practice b/c they are not prescribing medication & many other technical differences. You can’t physically harm anyone counseling. The NC medical board statement is very clear. You are correct in that they are his patients & most likely on his schedule, etc.... he may even work as an independent contractor. But he can’t be in his own building/office, alone, without a supervisory physician “in charge”. So if Dr Smith is his supervisory MD, then it would techincally be Dr Smith’s name on top of the practice with the PA working underneath. Yes those are the PAs pts but Dr smith has ultimate responsibility. There are even many prescriptions that PAs are not authorized to write, an actual MD must. Also If malpractice occurs, the PA would be sued but ultimately they will sue the physician b/c of his so called “deeper pockets”. If he does indeed have his own practice, I want the proof.
for sure it’s them. I responded to both of them a few times. And just getting utter enjoyment out of it. They are so mad that they can’t control the narrative like they have in the past by deleting comments. I pray Huxley’s law becomes a real law and passes. Maybe Assa would have to get a real job which he says he never wants to do again.
