Default Medical etc. Assistants

[QUOTE=retiredguy123;1507201]I went to the Urgent Care in Brownwood last week with a broken toe. A young woman nurse practitioner came into the exam room. I had to ask for her name and title and then she only gave me her first name. She spent most of the time on a laptop

Yes, we could surprise you with the Assistant to the Assistant etc. On the West Coast, this is not allowed.
It is extreme here, I could tell you some experiences with medical novices at the Villages and it is getting worse.
The medical boards etc., for this state need to get into this or Medicare or someone, it is really out of hand.
