      You cannot compare 21st American physicians occasionally being called "provider" to people that have suffered centuries of discrimination. This is wrong on so many levels. You aren't discriminated against. You're in one of the most privileged jobs in the world. https://twitter.com/AequanimitasM/status/1300131359424311296 …

      You might be right physicians aren’t persecuted but fair degree of Disenfranchisement going on by completely stripping them of their titles & the systematic effort to just call them “providers”https://twitter.com/aequanimitasm/status/1294265610193350658?s=21 …

      Check out the article: meaning of “provider vs behandler” can be argued I’m sure... but according to 👇🏻 “provider was first utilized by The Third Reich, who embraced it to devalue Jewish physicians as medical professionals” https://thedeductible.com/2019/02/08/if-you-call-me-a-provider-i-will-assume-you-are-a-nazi/ …

      How does that disenfranchise a physician? Is your income not in the top 1-3% in the country? Are you still not called doctor everyday by pts, nurses, office staff? You're pretending to be discriminated against bc a mass dept email once a week says "dear providers." Get over it.

      These doctors who are oh-so-triggered by being called a “provider” are pathetic, an embarrassment to the profession. We physicians are among the most privileged, highest paid professions there are, but these snowflakes desperately want to pretend to be persecuted.

      Imagine being so privileged that the most upsetting thing in your world is being *sometimes* called provider instead of doctor

      It’s because I know I’m so privileged that I don’t get all worked up over occasionally being called a provider.

          A trend by medical agencies to use terms prescriber/provider, seems harmless at first, but arguably a targeted method of obscuring the hierarchy of training/expertise, confusing the public, and quietly removing MDs as the captains of the health care team as a cost-cutting measure

          Even if this were true, making ridiculous analogies likening the use of the word “provider” to racial- or gender-based slurs just makes you look ignorant, silly, overly sensitive, and, yes, stupid. It’s an embarrassment to the profession.

          From a “not a real doctor” outsider (PhD), if an MD is upset about being occasionally referred to as a provider, it sure seems like they went into medicine for the wrong reason. I may not know the admin issues around this, but it sure sounds more like ego than anything else.

          Its more than a coincidence that as more women, African Americans and Hispanics have become physicians in the last 2 decades calling them “Doctors” is now overrated. Maybe those who insist on NOT calling them “doctors” are the ones with covert racism or gender bias!
