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.

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!

Are women, African American and Hispanic doctors being referred to as providers (or not being called Drs) more frequently or in specific situations than white/male counterparts? It only seems like this would have any gender or racial underpinning if it were targeted.

They are not. The only time "provider" is used is when an all encompassing term for doctor, physician assistant and nurse practitioner is needed. Like on mass department emails. Or information from health insurance. In person, nobody says provider.

Correct. Our special snowflake doctor friend is just making himself look more pathetic.

I'm describing your behavior, nothing more. Want to stop being called "special snowflake"? Stop acting like one.
