This is pervasive throughout TV. I have found this in all the medical offices whether it be physiology, medical, podiatrist, opthamology, or neurology. I am a nursing administrator of over 35 years. It was essential for all employees to wear a badge that clearly displayed their name and credentials at the hospital that I practiced. During an eye exam recently a nice young lady with no badge, was performing duties that were normally something performed by the MDs . At least the state I previously lived. She had no education other that what was taught to her by the office. No certification, nothing. But that is another issue her in Florida.
The wide use of unlicensed ancillary staff. How do I know? I asked her. The least that should be done for the health care consumer is proper identification of staff.
