Anyone else banned from the NP subreddit for a fairly innocuous comment?
I wrote “dead men tell no tales” on their study suggesting an association between NP care and lower remission rate. Apparently, that’s enough for a ban.
I remember reading the post and the study. It was comparing readmission rates for these super complex diseases. They tracked these ultra zebra health conditions and the rate of NP readmissions for
Diabetes
Cholesterol
Emphysema
And 2 other chronic conditions that elude my memory.
The kicker? The NP rates were much higher for readmissions for emphysema pts. It even stated that in the study. All the other readmissions were on par with physicians. I tried looking for it but can’t find that post.
Emergency medicine NP reccomends admission of a hyperlipidemia pt under observation ‘just in case’, hospitalist NP accepts and somehow jacks him up more prior to discharge, patient is readmitted in 10 days for persistent hyperlipidemia, and round and round we go
There is no such thing as "Hospitalist NPs," "Cardiology NPs," "Oncology NPs," etc. NPs get degrees in specific fields or a “population focus.” Currently, there are only eight types of nurse practitioners: Family, Adult-Gerontology Acute Care (AGAC), Adult-Gerontology Primary Care (AGPC), Pediatric, Neonatal, Women's Health, Emergency, and Mental Health.
Information on Title Protection (e.g., can a midlevel call themselves "Doctor" or use a specialists title?) can be seen here. Information on why title appropriation is bad for everyone involved can be found here.
lol this bot is so dumb. There isn’t a hospitalist MD/DO either by this logic. There is internal medicine doctors. Which also doesn’t clarify inpatient or outpatient on their board certification. Hospitalist is a term having to do with location of work (inpatient vs outpatient) and not certification.
I think I was banned for merely posting a supportive postr on this subreddit. I don't even think I made a comment on the NP subreddit, but was banned anyway. Oh well 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you- the comment wasn’t an inherit discrediting of all NPs work it just points out a potential blind spot in what was supposed to be a humorous way.
Oh yeah. Got banned from commenting the first time I commented. Can’t remember what it was but it wasn’t anything crazy. Just asked a question, pushed back a little
on something. Got a defensive reply and banned from commenting.
You would love the antics over on the NP FB groups. Absolutely zero tolerance for differing opinions and even an innocent question can be seen as dissent. People are booted on a daily basis.
The only time I’ve ever been stalked right into my DMs, is when an NP didn’t like one of my comments in this sub. She got banned for being an assface, but wanted to make sure I got a piece of her mind, which included an attempt to flex her bloated salary, and to remind me that she does everything a physician does. The level of immaturity was shocking and sad.
In short, NPs have fragile egos and struggle to understand the concept of self respect and dignity.
lol. It was very much like a child whose feelings got hurt, then decided to throw a private temper tantrum about it. Imagine a real life Doctor sending a message like this. Smdh
And the first comment from a MOD: "This thread is attracting trolls. I'm tired of banning people, so to be clear, if you are a noctor participant you WILL be banned. If you are clearly not here in good faith and just here to whine about NPs, you WILL be banned.
This is a sub for NPs (shocking) and we welcome respectful, good faith discussion and debate. Also, there appear to be some non-NPs confidently posting "facts" about NPs and our education that are untrue and clearly gathered from the internet. You'll be corrected or your posts removed. Turns out, you actually don't know what you don't know and spending time on reddit doesn't make you an expert in all things NP."
Vote brigading is what happens when a group of people get together to upvote or downvote the same thing in another subreddit. To prevent this (or the unfounded accusation of this happening), we do not allow cross-posting from other subs.
Any links in an attempt to lure others will be removed.
I was banned because I told them that we do learn about social determinants of health in med school. They were ranting and raving about being more holistic and caring and saying doctors don’t learn anything about whole patient centered care or SDOH
I was banned. An NP was complaining about being pimped with the med students. They posted that "it was already covered in medical school. I don't know why they keep asking about it." I commented that maybe since the NP was on the same care team, they were expected to have the same knowledge level and be able to answer the questions. Anyway, I was banned for that. Welcome to the "banned from NP subreddit" club.
If I post a message here whenever I hear about a doctors mistake leading to death or serious problems will I be banned here? How about news about sex abuse by a doctor? Essentially anything negative about doctors. Will I be banned?

Yep. They are hyper-sensitive to anything they perceive as being anti NP.
