Holy shit. This op-ed published by @MDMagazine is the nastiest, most misinformed, entitled rant about NPs I can recall seeing in a long time. There's so much wrong here that I don't know where to start. 1/https://twitter.com/mdmagazine/status/998618928958980098 …

Why
@MDMagazine chose to publish this drivel by a pseudonymous family practice doc, I'll never know. I'm all for strategic pseudonym use online and on blogs (obviously), but I'm much less a fan of them when used in journals and ostensibly respectable magazines. 13/Show this thread -
What is "Raymond Stanz" (yes, that's the pseudonym he's using) afraid of, that Big NP in the form of a giant Stay Puft man will target him for harassment and destruction? He seems not to realize that MDs still have the power. 14/14
