    Dan's right. It's truly depressing that some of my colleagues are so hung up on the trappings of being a physician that they lose their friggin' minds over being called a word that they consider inadequately respectful of their total awesomeness.https://twitter.com/dfreedman7/status/1382669930429042692 …

    Refusing care to an emergency room patient bc they called you "provider" & not physician is unethical, unprofessional & disgusting. How do we get people like this out of medicine? pic.twitter.com/LuNgRQkdiR

        Also, she's posturing. She can't refuse to treat a patient in the ER for that reason. It's also a totally made-up fantasy scenario that is incredibly unlikely to happen. I've never seen a patient in the ER refer to the treating doctor as anything other than "doctor."🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

        It’s true that it’s not appropriate to refuse care over this word. Administrators and other leaders should be expected to know better though, and if they do not, they should be educated on this term’s very problematic history. It’s not arrogant to insist on accurate terminology.

        I'm an outsider, and don't get this at all, but as a sometimes patient - what patient ever calls a doctor anything other than doctor? Maybe doc? Patients don't use this word that's upsetting them. Also, the rest of us don't get to pick what our industry calls us.

        I mean, this is an industry term, right? Insurance companies use it. I expect hospitals and medical groups do, too, not patients. Why are they complaining about patients?
