I didn't know a person who is not an M.D. could do those sorts of things without direction from an M.D. Correct me if I am wrong. A nurse practioner is the same as a physicians assistant and they have a PHD in nursing?

We didn't have Nurse Practioner's practicing on their own in Ohio.

We were just talking about how different medicine is here last night. That is the ONE thing I am disappointed about in the TV area, lack of really GOOD doctors as I knew them in Cincinnati and the very strange dental folks here too.

If you find an excellent doctor, you are on a waiting list for 18 months.
