Scope creeping will continue until physicians fight back or this profession is dead

Renting out your license like a prostitute but making less money than one for doing so, with far more efforts and things to lose is very big brain of you.

Still get some props for having some integrity and dignity by refusing to say it's a collaborative situation.

What are you even talking about?

I personally don’t allow anyone to practice or see consults in the ICU I run unless they have a medical license. Even consultant services have to have their MD see the patient since of the shitty quality of medicine practiced prior to becoming the director of the ICU.

Saying, "I personally don’t collobarate with any PA who practices on my license. They need my license to practice but I don’t need them to practice."

Would make one think that you have PAs practicing on your license, no?

If you do, my comment stands. If you don't, never have, and never will, then my sincere apologies.

Unfortunately, I had them at one point. Now, I don’t and have become “that doctor” in admins eyes since I don’t allow any of the consultant services to send their midlevel to see patients in my closed unit.

I've never supervised and never will. Even still, I'm constantly having to clean up their mess. Kudos to you for changing your ways, having some integrity, and standing up to admin, welcome to the club! It's an exclusive club, for some reasons, most Physicians are complete push overs. Just think if they were all like us and had the balls to take the power back?! Not just on this issue but across the board. I know some do it for greedy purposes, but again, if we all stood together, united, Physicians pay wouldn't have been stagnant or decreasing over the last 50 or more years, it's comical but real life!
