I have now been told this very same thing by several medical professionals. NPs and PAs are way sharper in fact, because they do more work than MDs. They also tend to show more empathy and even ethics. MDs (not all of course) after a while, they get lazy, apathetic, and greedy, completely forgetting the oath they took.
@@josephthompson3134@josephthompson3134, let me tell you, those PAs and NPs, they're humble, really humble. They stick to the guidelines, the algorithms, like they're supposed to. But the MDs? Oh, they think they're something else, believe me. They walk around acting like they know it all, thinking they're smarter than Einstein! Can you believe that? Total smarty pants, always acting like they're the smartest in the room. That's the difference, a huge difference!
Emergency medicine isn't always great either. Several years ago I tore my left distal tricep tendon. A bad injury. I went to an ER. They took x-rays. Gave me an ice pack, and 2 Percocet. The pain was bad. When they were about to release me I asked them if they were going to give me a script. Nope. Take Advil. This was over the Christmas holidays. My family doctor was closed. I had to wait several days to get in. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. My whole arm was black and blue. When I finally got in to see my NP. She couldn't believe they didn't give me any pain meds. By then the pain slightly diminished. She offered to give me something. I declined. I had to have surgery to have the tendon reattached. I understand hospitals don't like to give out opioids. but come on now.
You're correct. A good friend of mine took his mother-in-law to the local ER, and he told me they were wonderful. After they admitted her it was all downhill from there. They KNEW that they didn't have the facilities to treat her problem but admitted her anyway to suck up the Medicare money. She was transferred to a better facility but later died.
As a nurse with 28+ yrs experience in the ED I have had many doctors that I wouldn't let treat my dead dog if I had one...I have also had to fight to get the care my patients need and if the doctor didn't do what was needed i make sure that I chart I have spoken to the MD and no positive response has been reached...I feel many doctors today are caught between working to provide for their families and having to keep what is required by the corporations disguised as hospitals. Thank you Dr Dhand for your support and opinions...happy holidays to you and ypur family!
Don't forget the insurance companies. They would rather gate-keep services, hoping to wear you down before you get to the pricey ones that would cost less than the monkey-go-round, but most people either give up or die before then. Everything else about your service visit is structured by them, and the facilities book keepers and lawyers. Why do you think they ask those questions like when was your last pap smear and boob squish, when you go in for a wrist problem? UPSELL, and INSURANCE checklist. Insurance above all, because those are the main payors.
Love you lady! Listen up, I've got a story for you, and it's a good one, really good. Picture this: you've got your Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs), right? They're like the workers who built the great Trump Tower, following the blueprints, sticking to the plan. They're humble, so humble, they don't try to reinvent the wheel. They follow those guidelines, the algorithms, like it's their Bible. But then, you've got your MDs, the so-called 'big brains'. Oh, they think they're on another level, like they're hosting 'The Apprentice' or something. They strut around, white coats flapping, acting like they've got all the answers. "Einstein? Please, we're smarter," they say. It's like they think they're playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers. One day, in walks this MD, right into the heart of Trump Tower. Thinks he's going to redesign the whole building on the spot. He's tossing aside the algorithms like they're yesterday's news, improvising like he's jazz musician. The PAs and NPs, they're watching, eyebrows raised, thinking, "What in the world?" But they're team players, so they go along with it, cautiously. The story unfolds, and it's like a season finale - drama, tension, unexpected twists. The MD's freestyling, but then, whoops, hits a snag. Things aren't going as smoothly as he thought. The humble PAs and NPs, with their steady, by-the-book approach, they step in. They're like the cleanup crew at one of my incredible hotels, fixing the mess, getting things back on track. In the end, what's the moral of the story? It's that sometimes, sticking to the script, following the proven path, that's the way to go. Sure, be smart, but don't think you're smarter than Einstein, especially when you're not. It's about balance, finding that perfect blend of humility and brains. That's how you build something truly great, truly Trumpian. And that, is a story worth remembering!
We All appreciate your honesty. Truly. Thank you. You see, coming from an RN it is more difficult to dismiss. I think I may have to delete my comments for fear if someone sees it, they will attack me for saying such a thing...
He's still giving them boosters when 99% of them have compromised immune system and the vaccine strips your immune system he also thinks fauci and himself did a good job doing HIV did you ever see the Dallas Buyers Club? Do you know that without his baby that bad cancer medication AZT that they were pushing on HIV patience was killing them faster than the disease I will give John Campbell Credit for coming around as much as he has but he still doesn't see
True words "has become", butt, there's always a butt, at the beginning of the pandemic he was just a pro vaxx as all the other rabid professionals,. Sure now he's trying hard to atone for his dreadful mistake of recommending the vaxx. He cant escape the fact that his objective and rational thinking was woefully absent at the outset.
I am so sorry for you. Please try to stay strong and vocal. Remember the Truckers in Alberta....there are other Canadians like you. Blessings from South Africa. We say "sterkte en vas byt"
I will never forget the time a doctor told me that if I didn’t go to Walgreens and get vaccinated against Covid this minute, I’d be tied to a hospital bed put on a ventilator and how would I like that. I responded with nice to know that hospitals will tie you down against your will and do these horrible things to you. Be sure to tell me to stay away from them in future and from this day forward you and I part ways. I haven’t been back since. I had to call a crisis line because I became very suicidal. Having been through a traumatic experience, which resulted in the death of my brother, I did not appreciate being spoken to that way and it’s caused me to lose faith in all doctors. I have to think about it several times over before getting medical care of any kind and I’m not a healthy person. I am immune deficient. I shouldn’t have to be afraid to see one, but here we are.
Yep been .there blasted by my cardiologist for not getting the jab……listening to …..it will not go away, your going to die , spread it , yadda yadda yadda……I used my gut……this is not a vaccine, stay in one s arm …BS….. hospitals getting paid for “Covid” patients….ambulances outside every government jab facility….then one hears about after jab ,deaths, strokes , myocarditis, blood clots…… and other issues……..got a new cardiologist……..
So very sorry for your horrid experience with this doctor. I hope you will find someone you can trust. After moving I had to "fire" my first primary care doc. Really like my current one but he is moving his practice out of the area so he won't be expected to see a ridiculous number of patients each day. The thoughts of another search makes me quite anxious. I think I will look for an NP or PA. What a mess health care has become.
Make sure You're exercising and if not at least start walking, you'll be surprised how it does wonder for us. Also make sure you're eating natural, non-processed foods. Lots of veggies, complex carbs and protein. Add good oils such as olive oil and avocado oil. Make sure You're eating with good salts like sea salt or Himalayan salt. Make sure you're limiting sugar intake and don't use white sugar - substitute for brown sugar or coconut sugar on a limited basis. Take supplements such as multivitamins made from whole foods, Complex B vitamins, vitamins D3 & K2, Magnesium Glycinate, Ashwagandha. Lastly watch positive, funny and/or motivating videos and enjoy them. Good luck and cheers to you!
Dr. Dhand, thank you for sharing you knowledge and insight and for being one of the most honest voices in a field unfortunately rife with dishonesty, greed, wokeness and clear violations of the Hippocratic Oath.
I am a Naturopathic doctor, private consultant. During C-19 i treated my husband and myself with nutrients and we recovered in 2 weeks. At the beginning of the pandemic, I upped our vitamin D3 intake until our levels were high (husband's 90 ng/ml, mine 69). His symptoms were like a mild cold, mine like severe flu. Also diffused 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide in 4 oz water with breathe easy essential oil blend. Did same treatments for my neighbors, who were 79 and 80 in 2022, August. They recovered in 2 weeks. Treated them with bromelain 500 mg to dissolve the spike proteins. They were jabbed before they contracted the virus.

My wife and I had actually arrived at this point before the plan demic of 2020... The response to the disease only confirmed what we thought we already knew.
I’m trying to figure out how? I worked through all that with such sick patients, what could they have done to stop it. I’m serious I must be missing something
@@elainehearod7013 They could have treated patients earlier with diffrent drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. They used drugs that made patients sicker and then put them on vents, eventually killing them. The hospitals got paid for each step of the treatment. Covid is very treatable if treated early.
33 years with what was supposedly 'Fibromyalgia' and all I was prescribed was cyclobenzaprine, Neurontin and he tried antidepressants, telling me they were for pain and nothing ever controlled my pain. Over 3 dozen doctors and not one helped me. By their negligence I lost everything I worked hard for all my life. My children grew up without a mother and these doctors didn't care at all. Finally, I have a nurse practitioner who listens to me, doesn't judge me, truly cares and I've just had a blood test showing I have an autoimmune disease. Fibro can't be detected. By my symptoms which are the same that I had starting out 33 years ago, it looks like i have Lupus. That can be controlled with the right medicine. Neurontin almost caused me to wreck in our car and kill 4 of us. That stuff is dangerous. I had to give up driving because of that drug. That doctor is online receiving good reviews. What a joke! So much for the other "medical experts!!" We have to do our own research today because doctors do not care about their patients like they're supposed to. Except for the few here on UA-cam. Thank God for them. Pastor Charles Lawson preached a sermon about a man who is arrogant and full of pride is a fool. And they were. When you think you know everything, you don't know nothing.
I've been married to RN and we come to / odds with our thinking of the medical system . 🙃 I have come to the conclusion that there are nurses and doctors practicing that have no business in the field of medicine. But the way the system is structured there isn't a way to weed them out ! Unless they have like broken HEPA policies or something like that 🤔. Just let me say this I have refused to let her take a splinter out, but her charting is very good. Just being honest here. ❤ ✌
I have an Osteopathic physician in a Direct Care practice, she's great. She follows the allopathic model but is open to discussion on issues, gives me plenty of time each visit and lets me help direct my care. I feel very fortunate. She and the 2 other MD's at the clinic are filled up and not taking new patients. I think the pandemic opened people's eyes as to what medical care should be like. My husband had a PA for his primary care at one point and this guy was the absolute best. I'd sure go to one if I needed to switch. Thank you Dr. D for taking a stand on this! You are right on the money!
Very honest... I enjoy Dr. Darren Schmidt. The VERY Best. He takes No Insurance but he doesn't get paid unless he fixes you! How do doctors stack up against THAT!
I am a nurse practitioner, Family Medicine, just passed my one year anniversary of retirement. Many of my patients over the years shared with me their feelings of preferring an NP or PA for the very reasons you express. Thank you for having the courage to speak out about this and, in general, the valuable topics within the content of your channel.
I figured out on my own that we were being used as guinea pigs and it was all a money grab. I tried to tell others but they ignored me. They were afraid to go against the authority figures in the Establishment.
I sought alternative medicine over 15 years ago now, after two cardiologists (one was pursued by me solely for a second opinion) told me that I would be on beta-blockers for the rest of my life, to treat a heart arrhythmia. A friend referred me to a Naturopath. Following her advice, I was able to wean myself off of the beta-blockers. Today, I have no evidence of a heart arrhythmia, and take zero pharmaceuticals.
Are you familiar with Americas Frontline Doctors? They were persecuted for trying to put forth the truth. Some were even imprisoned. Such as Doctor Gold.
Thank you for supporting PA and NP professions. As a second career ( and now retired PA) I absolutely loved practicing medicine. Most of the physicians I worked with were great and we all got along. I started practicing at age 48 until I retired at 63 ( due to taking care of my late husband who had a progressive terminal condition). I was a dietitian for 25 years before becoming a PA. I worked as a PA in rural and underserved areas in the upper Midwest and on native American reservations. It was a privilege to serve all my patients. You are so correct about the medical education in modern times.....half of it is old and outdated info. I decided to stay retired after the pandemic since I didn't want the shot in the arm and lost all faith in the CDC and FDA, who I at one time thought were legit. I would, however, collaborate with a physician like you, since we seem to share similar values. Yes, I eat blueberries every day!
Wow! A dietitian for 25 years!?!? I can only imagine your level of knowledge and experience. Now a PA? You really should have another title besides PA. I would assume there are very few clinicians ( MD/DO, PA, NPs) who could hold a candle to your level of knowledge. You would be looked at as one the best holistic doctors of all.
I used to have a PA, and he was great. Had him for years and I felt like he honestly knew me. Since then I moved to a new state and I get a new MD assigned to me at least every six months. Most of them I've never even seen before they leave the clinic. When I do see one they act hurried and apparently have more important things to do than see me. I have no problem with NPs and PAs.
Very well said. On my last medical insurance change, I was assigned a PA instead of an MD as my Primary Care. I am pleasantly surprised and pleased with the care I have received. Also, touche on hitting the nail on the head of the Covid trainwreck. Doctors could have easily stopped things in their tracks vs towing the 'company' line (lie).
Fully, concur. NPs and PAs tend to be more collaborative and are less threatened by patients who have done some preliminary research. I have found many MDs in the primary care setting to be unprepared and generally take a simplistic cookbook approach with their patients and have 0 to little interest in listening to what concerns their patients.
After working as an RN in the medical system, and having personal experiences with Medical Doctors, I now see a Naturopath for all of my health needs. It is so much better. She gives me at least a full hour of her undivided attention every time I see her. Whatever treatment I receive, it is always gentle and non invasive. She works with me and takes the time to get to know who I am and what my needs are. She addresses all of my needs -- emotional, spiritual and physical. Caring for my health in this way has actually helped me become much more sensitive and intuitive to my body's needs. In fact I don't even need to see my Naturopath very often anymore. I'm much more in tune with my body now and I feel much more in control of my own health and well being.
I just had an appointment with my first nurse practitioner and loved her! I never knew they could take on patients permanently! I see her again for a follow up appointment and shall ask her this question and thank you Leahbel25 for your service because I have nothing but respect for your knowledge in your patient care❣️
I love my DNP, FNP-BC. She is awesome, plus I think women benefit 😊 with women for their GP's. Here in the Phx, AZ area, a newer concept called, MyDrNow is where she is. There are many locations, open 7 days and evenings till 8pm M-F like urgent care but focus on primary. The M-F, 8-4 doesn't work well with working folks. It has been so much easier being able to see her afterwork or weekends
@leahbel25 my daughter is training to be a NP. Her next step.is to find a practice to shadow in. Any suggestions? She says many practices charge thousands of dollars for the training. Plus she wants to have a more holistic practice.
I have lost faith in doctors for the last almost 30 years. Very test happy and pushy, scary misdiagnoses and I’ve had to tell several doctors what to do. Scary that I know more than some doctors know. I respect you and thank you for all the information you provide.
I love my NP ! This is spot on . After 10 agonizing years ( wasting 2 years with each of FIVE doctors . A humble , attentive Nurse Practitioners the only soul who listened to me , and was patient , thorough enough to help me actually reach my health goals . To this very day some 8 years later , she still is my everything . I can chat w/ her anytime on the practice nutter App. She replies to my queries. She will order my labs , anything I like almost all with ease and joy . Everything you say is so true .
Dr. Dhand, as a retired 48-yr. Healthcare Worker myself, I totally "resonate" with your cynicism regarding "M.D.'s" but also about the VERY TOXIC and fraudulent system known as "allopathic Western Medicine." After not only working in THAT "healthcare system" for so long, but, ALSO being a "patient" of said "system" and becoming progressively sicker during the last 30 years, the ONLY THING that vastly improved AND RESTORED my health literally saving my life was strictly adhering to an organic diet and completely eliminating pharmaceutical poisons from my body. After only THREE MONTHS of taking THOSE ACTIONS was my body returned to FULLY OPTIMAL HEALTH making me feel BETTER than I had in over THIRTY YEARS. 😉🌎😎
@@drsuneeldhand ... From one "health warrior" to another, mate, likewise ... KEEP marching onward armed with ... true facts. Our (humanity's) "survival" literally depends on people like you and I. 👍😉🌎
Many years ago I had the best PA who listened and did what I asked. He knew I didn't want medications. Because of acid reflux, he assigned a Nitritionist to me, show me a doctor who does that. He also referred me to a Chiropractor, show me a doctor who does that, they'll write a prescription and send you to big pharma.
VA healthcare utilizes PA and NPs, they offer compassionate care. My husband recently complained that he has never seen his VA primary care Dr. And i said thats great, no wonder you are so healthy. I applaud dr dhand for giving them recognition. We need all these medical professionals however patients need to be listened to, they know their bodies.
When I worked for over 30 years in a well baby clinic, primarily as a board certified lactation consultant, I can't tell you how many times I picked up orthopedic issues from vacuum deliveries or preventing a poor infant from hospitalisation due to spitting up a few drops of blood from a mother's cracked nipple. The lack of logical thinking blew my mind.
My best primary care physician was a FNP with 30 years of experience. She could predict things well, listen a long time and be open to all sorts of options
I hated my primary care doctor, he was an a hole. We both agreed it was not a good fit, but I did see his PA. As a retired nurse, I could speak honestly with the PA and we would be able to come up with a reasonable care plan.
Thank you for doing what you are doing. I have with you since C-19 and you have truly been the voice of reason. You are the voice of common sense without bending or bowing to the machine. Keep doing you!
The one thing you might be overlooking is the perverse situation that many MDs find themselves in with student debt and family obligations. The system itself is structurally compromised.
Very true. Just like other employed people they too were threatened with their livelihood. Many also trusted the system, had no idea that we were all being played .
I must be blessed. I found three different GPs in ten years during a doctor shortage. The first two were pretty bad but the GP I have now is great. He put me on the Ketogenic Diet instead of giving me pills for my Insulin Resistance. My MD Specialist is great too. I have a difficult condition and she always makes extra time for me. I am VERY lucky to have these excellent physicians in my life. Otherwise ...
Thank you Dr. Dhand for speaking the truth to your MD colleagues. Most of them definitely need a wake up call and it is true that many folks are looking for alternatives. Also agree that collectively, doctors could have made a stand against the tyranny and lies, but instead left it to a brave few like yourself.
Sounds like a good option I should look into. Both my wife and myself have seen our doctors recently. More than a month to get an appointment and god forbid if you have more than one health concern. My wife's doctor even told her "I don't have time for this". She came home in tears. I had a similar experience, my doctor had one foot out the door the whole appointment.
I was forced to see a PA at my GP practice recently. She was a nice lady, but she knew nothing of medicine! I ended up telling her how to treat me. Luckily I have some medical knowledge and I know a lot about my chronic condition and how to treat it. I feel sorry for people who have no medical knowledge and cannot advocate for themselves.
I just went through the same thing with a PA. She was dumb as a rock...couldn't tell the difference between a rash or a burn. I won't even get into my chronic pain. Wishing you the best.
same here until the NP screwed up after 4mos. of my complaints......I worked pharmacy & kept questioning her about my blood work and asked what was going on....complained to the nurse asked for the MD & 5 min. problem diagnosed & fixed after I spoke about what was going on
I have a np. My Doctors keep quitting and they are all in another world. I totally agree with you. My np listens and does more for me than the last 3 doctors I had. Also, np's are more open to alternative and hollistic natural approaches. Regular Dr's not quite the same.....
I am seeing a NP on Tuesday. She is in the gastroenterologist office. I'm suffering with abdominal pain and my ultrasound showed that I have a 4mm polyp in my gallbladder. Nothing to worry about. My pain is coming from my stomach. I tried to see a new MD in my new hometown. She never did put a stethoscope on me. She gave me antibiotics when I never had an infection. She messed up my stomach and I have been in pain since July 2023 I went back to my old doctor and I do love my Vietnamese Primary care doctor. I have been his patient for 30 years. ❤❤
And here in England things aren’t looking much better! Our “beloved” NHS system is creaking under the strain of an ageing society, with ever more chronic diseases to try to manage. With worn-out, demoralised, post (?) pandemic staff who were once hailed as “heroes” and are now on the receiving end of treatment-delay frustrations…and have recently been striking for better wages. What a bloody mess!
@@drsuneeldhand UK: It is surprising how difficult it is to get to see a 'GP' (doctor) personally for oneself or a partner. Especially 'out of hours' or at 'weekend'. It often means a visit to the local Hospital or 'emergency services' which can take many hours to actually respond. ;-/ Of course, this causes extra delays for the hospital services as they get 'overloaded'. ;-/
@@drsuneeldhandThe US health insurance industry is trying to take over from the NHS. I wonder if this has anything to do with the NHS's deterioration? (Make it look bad so Big Insurance can save it?)
@@stephaniecarrow4898 God help us if the UK goes the way of the USA. pHARMa has us in its sights but people are seeing more clearly what that would mean.
I'm with you Dr Dhand. I have lost faith in MDs. I fired my pill pushing loser when the mask hysteria began. Didn't receive medical care for 2 years and got healthier and healthier. When I finally needed help, I found a FNP who is patient, actually listens and seems to have empathy. But when it comes down to it, *I* am in charge of my health and I will not allow anyone to harm me or manipulate me into harming myself. Those phake pharma medical practitioners days are numbered.
I am very fortunate to know physicians and pharmacists who are also qualified in homeopathy - my South African connections. It was homeopathic remedies that I had previously received from a pharmacist friend in the UK, that got me through Covid without seeing a doctor and saved me from the Emergency dept. of Vancouver hospitals. Thanks be to God! Since then my children have also benefited from those remedies during 2 cases of Covid. 🙏🏼
Like physicians portrayed in films , in the 1930s, and on television, in the 1960s, Dr. Dhand earns my respect for his forthright and courageous statements about current medical care.
I MUCH prefer seeing the N.P. at the 'few' doctors offices who have them in my large medical team; I only wish every office had one I could lean toward for all the reasons you mentioned. There's a faithful dialogue between the N.P. that just isn't possible with the doctor! In fact, I'm always extremely grateful if I can make it to a human being at all due to the abusive telephone trees one must fight thru! I HATE that. And the response from the 'system' after a message is left is: "Someone will get back to you within 1 to 5 business DAYS (not 'hours'....DAYS)."
Honestly I prefer seeing a doctor. Those extra years in school and the whole intense medical school process of selecting those most willing and with the capacity and dedication to go through medical school and residency in general means that doctors know more. Yes maybe overworked and some less compassionate than some nurses or PAs, but still prefer to have a doctor as my doctor.
This is encouraging. Over the past 10ish years, I have mostly seen NPs and PAs when seeking medical attention. I always felt I was being short-changed, so it's good to hear this.
My last doctor visit was with an NP, she was great, opened minded snd very suspicious of what was going on during the covid BS, she refused to get vaccinated despite she may lose her position, she was wanting to get into what is known as functional medicine any way !!!🤔😀
100% agree! When I had severe double c@v|d pneumonia I got under an amazing MD. She put me on ivermectin, quercetin, NAC, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Zinc and I was completely well with 4 days. ❤
Recently moved to Fl and had to wait a YEAR for an appt! But I research all doctors that my husband and I may need to see. I could have gotten an earlier appt. With a doctor that did not specialize in geriatric care and had wonderful patient reviews. Having worked in a hospital for 24 years I’ve learned that your best advocate is yourself and if you can find a doctor who will actually listen to you and work with you it is gold😊. Also I have tended to find doctors who believe in finding the cause of health problems not just ordering a new med for it.
I am on Medicare and looked for a more wholistic doctor but there were zero to be found, at least in my (Chicagoland) area. I think that's really unfair that we (older) people have no choice in respect.
There was a time when you were uncomfortable with something, you'd tell your Dr. And dr. Would help you immediately. You felt safe in hospital or doctors office. Thanks again! ❤
My own doctor retired this year, in no small part to escape the industry that required him to file a religious exemption to avoid taking the poison. I am in good health and will be VERY wary about who I turn to for checkups.
I worked for 30 years as an RN in cardiac critical care and spent lots of time with NPs and PAs. Like the doctors, there were some truly wonderful practitioners and some kind of lousy ones. First impressions don't always give a true assessment.
I absolutely love my cardiology NP. She is very knowledgeable, takes the time to explain things in plain English, explains treatment options with pros and cons of each, and she actually listens. I did stump her once on a question, and rather than give me a complete B.S. answer, she said she didn't know. The next day she called me and said that she had asked one of the MD cardiologists, and she had gotten an answer. She truly is a gem, and I would recommend her to anyone.
As if we have a choice. My HMO has more physicians' assistants than doctors. I can get an appointment but no M.D. The.P.A.s are earnest but often hapless. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather die than be treated in the US healthcare system.
Trust in Jesus..Jesus Loves you ...he is merciful Jesus is the greatest physician and psychiatrist Knows all about us with all our warts..is the God of the impossible Amen hallelujah ❤❤ Never puts you on hold always listening... glory !!❤❤❤❤❤
I had a wonderful MD for nearly 30 years who recently retired. His young replacement, although personable, would politely disregard my concerns and requests. I switched to a preventative medicine practice and my new primary care clinician is an NP. Instead of handing me a prescription and sending me on my way, he asked good questions, discussed healthy lifestyle choices, and listened to my concerns. As a result he uncovered some possible issues and made the appropriate referral. 😊👍
As a retired NP I thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have been following your videos for some time now and you are a beacon of light in the medical profession.
As an NP I have the utmost respect for all providers MD, DO, DC, NP and PA. I have gone to NPs since the early 90s and love the compassion and time given by an NP. I knew when I was in nursing school that would be my ultimate goal. After 18 years of bedside nursing I became a nurse practitioner. I love to hear when my patients are thankful for the time and attention given. I have learned this through years of nursing practice, watching other providers in my own personal life and taking the advice from my mentors. In a time when healthcare has become so much more about money and higher volumes it’s rare to find providers who take the time to give their patients what they need. I am in a specialty so my circumstance is definitely different than those in primary care or some specialties that have a high volume of patients.
How did I miss all this??? My dr is a PA. And is open to many of my thoughts on health care. I never vaxxed, he never pressured me. I was grateful for that. He has to ask if I want my “flu” shot. I dip my chin and with a grin, just look at him with raised eyes. A small shake of my head, he gets the message. Of course I remind him of my dead daughter from vax injury. So there’s that….
I was responsible for my mother's care until she died. The nurse practitioners listened, spent time with us, and administered better care than her doctors. I now use a nurse practitioner for my primary since she invites me to participate in the discussion of my own medical care. She always offers natural remedies before pills, and she doesn't get offended by questions and comments.
My young doctor is a DO. I would say he is 33-35. He listens carefully, and never once coerced me to take anything I said I didn’t want. I think the various levels of preparation all have their benefit. Of all, the MD training programs are the least humane and most abusive.
I am a nurse and lost faith too. There appears to be a direct correlation between amount of money a person makes in medicine and the lack of willingness or ability to speak up and do the right thing. I spoke out and continue to speak out but was told I was stupid.
The Love of money is the root of all evil 1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.❤❤
@@johnnalussier1702 ~ I'm not sure if this will help, but check to see if there my be a "patient advocate" at your nearest hospital. Our hospital had a stack of leaflets in the waiting area with a picture of a gal who was their "Patient Advocate" .. and across the top it read ... "Are you looking for a new Doctor? .... let me help!" You could also Google the term 'Patient Advocate near me'...Or with a zip code, or closest city. Good luck!
I was a medical secretary & Spanish translator in 2 different pediatric EDs in my 20s, these were teaching hospitals & two of the doctors kept a list on them at all times of what residents they could make cry. These men did way more than that but they had so many children’s lives in their hands. It made me look at doctors very differently after that.
I so so believe in what u say...It is nothing but truth As a medical student myself...I feel , this system has got so toxic FOR BOTH DOCTORS AND THEIR PATIENTS that it can barely survive
Facts! I stopped seeing doctors except for my chiropractor. Most doctors I've dealt with in my lifetime are very insecure and don't listen. I was accused of being an internet doctor for being active in my own health! My primary care doctor REFUSED to listen to anything I tried to tell her about food as medicine.
From Leo: I have nothing personally against any of the NP's or PA's I have seen. My beef is that the specialist wants me to come in for an appointment, then the PA sees me, takes my blood pressure, asks if I have any problems and sends me home. Then the hospital bills me $545 for an office visit with a specialist.
Thank you so much for your honesty on the medical profession. I thank goodness for doctors like you who aren’t afraid to tell the everyday person what’s really going with doctors/ patients. I myself have been gaslighted on more than one occasion by doctors over the years ….but it’s only now I realise. My current doctor is sadly far from good but I’m not going to let him fob me off anymore thanks to your advice. Thank you again!
Dr. Dhand, you are a rockstar! I much prefer NP's and PA's to regular MD's, but you still gotta be careful. They don't always know better. I've had a PA diagnose my shingles based on a sore on my nose, which was awesome. When I looked it up, I was like, "I'll be damned; that's a thing." On the flip side, I had a PA try to prescribe me cipro for a uncomplicated UTI in 2018. I think it was 2013 or thereabouts when the FDA came out and said not to prescribe fluoroquinolones except as a last resort b/c of the risks. I asked for nitrofurantoin and I got it. And I had a NP suggest a lyme test when I had a tick bite (and fever and chills a few days later). I said, "Isn't it true that early on when it's easily treated, the test might be negative?" She said, "Yes, that's true. Do you just want me to prescribe you some doxy?" I said yes, got the doxy, and my fever broke after the first dose. However, my friend's husband went to the same NP, she talked him into a lyme test, which came back negative, and my friend had to call and beg them several days later to call him in some doxy b/c he was getting worse! Same woman, and this happened AFTER I had seen her. And this same NP prescribed ORAL vancomycin for my friend's MRSA infection. Our infectious disease doc told her to go the hospital and she would put in an order for IV vanc. On the plus side, NP's and PA's have less ego, and don't get so upset when you challenge them. I think modern medicine, especially in the US is completely f*^&@ed. I have knowledge as I work in the clinical lab field, but I feel bad for people who don't know any better and do what these morons tell them.
I believe that you are spot on about medicine here in the US. It is a sad situation that there is no longer trust in the doctors. I have a primary care doctor but when I have been treated by a PA or a Nurse Practitioner I have been very pleased with my experience. Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree with you Dr. Dhand. I personally dont like to go to different drs'. Was wondering about NP. now! some of my doctors are great! But may need a new GP. Thanks for this, so much to say, but little time. Thanks is again, love you Dr. Dhand! Have a restful evening!

Hi doctor don’t want to say a lot but what’s your thoughts on remdesivir and if someone already took it ?
If you don't like the current state of medical schools, start one that corrects the issues.
This is so true . I love my doctor but when I can't see him I find the PA more thorough and listens patiently.
I have now been told this very same thing by several medical professionals. NPs and PAs are way sharper in fact, because they do more work than MDs. They also tend to show more empathy and even ethics.
MDs (not all of course) after a while, they get lazy, apathetic, and greedy, completely forgetting the oath they took.
@@josephthompson3134@josephthompson3134, let me tell you, those PAs and NPs, they're humble, really humble. They stick to the guidelines, the algorithms, like they're supposed to. But the MDs? Oh, they think they're something else, believe me. They walk around acting like they know it all, thinking they're smarter than Einstein! Can you believe that? Total smarty pants, always acting like they're the smartest in the room. That's the difference, a huge difference!
Outside of emergency medicine the whole system is a failure.
You nailed it!
Emergency medicine isn't always great either. Several years ago I tore my left distal tricep tendon. A bad injury. I went to an ER. They took x-rays. Gave me an ice pack, and 2 Percocet. The pain was bad. When they were about to release me I asked them if they were going to give me a script. Nope. Take Advil. This was over the Christmas holidays. My family doctor was closed. I had to wait several days to get in. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. My whole arm was black and blue. When I finally got in to see my NP. She couldn't believe they didn't give me any pain meds. By then the pain slightly diminished. She offered to give me something. I declined. I had to have surgery to have the tendon reattached. I understand hospitals don't like to give out opioids. but come on now.
You're correct. A good friend of mine took his mother-in-law to the local ER, and he told me they were wonderful. After they admitted her it was all downhill from there. They KNEW that they didn't have the facilities to treat her problem but admitted her anyway to suck up the Medicare money. She was transferred to a better facility but later died.
As a nurse with 28+ yrs experience in the ED I have had many doctors that I wouldn't let treat my dead dog if I had one...I have also had to fight to get the care my patients need and if the doctor didn't do what was needed i make sure that I chart I have spoken to the MD and no positive response has been reached...I feel many doctors today are caught between working to provide for their families and having to keep what is required by the corporations disguised as hospitals. Thank you Dr Dhand for your support and opinions...happy holidays to you and ypur family!
Don't forget the insurance companies. They would rather gate-keep services, hoping to wear you down before you get to the pricey ones that would cost less than the monkey-go-round, but most people either give up or die before then. Everything else about your service visit is structured by them, and the facilities book keepers and lawyers. Why do you think they ask those questions like when was your last pap smear and boob squish, when you go in for a wrist problem? UPSELL, and INSURANCE checklist.
Insurance above all, because those are the main payors.
Love you lady! Listen up, I've got a story for you, and it's a good one, really good. Picture this: you've got your Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs), right? They're like the workers who built the great Trump Tower, following the blueprints, sticking to the plan. They're humble, so humble, they don't try to reinvent the wheel. They follow those guidelines, the algorithms, like it's their Bible.
But then, you've got your MDs, the so-called 'big brains'. Oh, they think they're on another level, like they're hosting 'The Apprentice' or something. They strut around, white coats flapping, acting like they've got all the answers. "Einstein? Please, we're smarter," they say. It's like they think they're playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
One day, in walks this MD, right into the heart of Trump Tower. Thinks he's going to redesign the whole building on the spot. He's tossing aside the algorithms like they're yesterday's news, improvising like he's jazz musician. The PAs and NPs, they're watching, eyebrows raised, thinking, "What in the world?" But they're team players, so they go along with it, cautiously.
The story unfolds, and it's like a season finale - drama, tension, unexpected twists. The MD's freestyling, but then, whoops, hits a snag. Things aren't going as smoothly as he thought. The humble PAs and NPs, with their steady, by-the-book approach, they step in. They're like the cleanup crew at one of my incredible hotels, fixing the mess, getting things back on track.
In the end, what's the moral of the story? It's that sometimes, sticking to the script, following the proven path, that's the way to go. Sure, be smart, but don't think you're smarter than Einstein, especially when you're not. It's about balance, finding that perfect blend of humility and brains. That's how you build something truly great, truly Trumpian. And that, is a story worth remembering!
We All appreciate your honesty. Truly. Thank you. You see, coming from an RN it is more difficult to dismiss. I think I may have to delete my comments for fear if someone sees it, they will attack me for saying such a thing...
I'm an RN for over 25 years and my personal experience overall is the same. Overwhelmingly I've received better care from NP's and PA's.
Yes. Hospitals taking over medical practices is a real problem.

True words "has become", butt, there's always a butt, at the beginning of the pandemic he was just a pro vaxx as all the other rabid professionals,. Sure now he's trying hard to atone for his dreadful mistake of recommending the vaxx. He cant escape the fact that his objective and rational thinking was woefully absent at the outset.

I will never forget the time a doctor told me that if I didn’t go to Walgreens and get vaccinated against Covid this minute, I’d be tied to a hospital bed put on a ventilator and how would I like that. I responded with nice to know that hospitals will tie you down against your will and do these horrible things to you. Be sure to tell me to stay away from them in future and from this day forward you and I part ways. I haven’t been back since. I had to call a crisis line because I became very suicidal. Having been through a traumatic experience, which resulted in the death of my brother, I did not appreciate being spoken to that way and it’s caused me to lose faith in all doctors. I have to think about it several times over before getting medical care of any kind and I’m not a healthy person. I am immune deficient. I shouldn’t have to be afraid to see one, but here we are.
Yep been .there blasted by my cardiologist for not getting the jab……listening to …..it will not go away, your going to die , spread it , yadda yadda yadda……I used my gut……this is not a vaccine, stay in one s arm …BS….. hospitals getting paid for “Covid” patients….ambulances outside every government jab facility….then one hears about after jab ,deaths, strokes , myocarditis, blood clots…… and other issues……..got a new cardiologist……..
So very sorry for your horrid experience with this doctor. I hope you will find someone you can trust. After moving I had to "fire" my first primary care doc. Really like my current one but he is moving his practice out of the area so he won't be expected to see a ridiculous number of patients each day. The thoughts of another search makes me quite anxious. I think I will look for an NP or PA. What a mess health care has become.

I have used homeopathy quite successfully. Maybe try homeopathic medicine and /or naturopathy means also.
Make sure You're exercising and if not at least start walking, you'll be surprised how it does wonder for us. Also make sure you're eating natural, non-processed foods. Lots of veggies, complex carbs and protein. Add good oils such as olive oil and avocado oil. Make sure You're eating with good salts like sea salt or Himalayan salt. Make sure you're limiting sugar intake and don't use white sugar - substitute for brown sugar or coconut sugar on a limited basis. Take supplements such as multivitamins made from whole foods, Complex B vitamins, vitamins D3 & K2, Magnesium Glycinate, Ashwagandha. Lastly watch positive, funny and/or motivating videos and enjoy them. Good luck and cheers to you!
Dr. Dhand, thank you for sharing you knowledge and insight and for being one of the most honest voices in a field unfortunately rife with dishonesty, greed, wokeness and clear violations of the Hippocratic Oath.
So true. Worked with many. @@RufusToots420
I am a Naturopathic doctor, private consultant. During C-19 i treated my husband and myself with nutrients and we recovered in 2 weeks. At the beginning of the pandemic, I upped our vitamin D3 intake until our levels were high (husband's 90 ng/ml, mine 69). His symptoms were like a mild cold, mine like severe flu. Also diffused 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide in 4 oz water with breathe easy essential oil blend. Did same treatments for my neighbors, who were 79 and 80 in 2022, August. They recovered in 2 weeks. Treated them with bromelain 500 mg to dissolve the spike proteins. They were jabbed before they contracted the virus.
Do you have any knowledge about using Hydrogen Peroxide in a nebuliser ? Exactly how much to be used ?
As a naturopathic doctor, you speak of covid, what are your thoughts on terrain, not virus, influence on health?
@@patbuckley4039 In relation to terrain, the importance of geographic location for health lies in air and water quality as well as soil mineral levels if consuming local produce. Other factors may include levels of radio frequency waves and cell tower proximity. The immune system is of utmost importance to fend off viruses. Blessings to you.
@@Hope.Israel.prophetic thank you.

@@ryanqvincent144 ~ Agree 100%
I’m trying to figure out how? I worked through all that with such sick patients, what could they have done to stop it. I’m serious I must be missing something
@@elainehearod7013 They could have treated patients earlier with diffrent drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. They used drugs that made patients sicker and then put them on vents, eventually killing them. The hospitals got paid for each step of the treatment. Covid is very treatable if treated early.
33 years with what was supposedly 'Fibromyalgia' and all I was prescribed was cyclobenzaprine, Neurontin and he tried antidepressants, telling me they were for pain and nothing ever controlled my pain. Over 3 dozen doctors and not one helped me. By their negligence I lost everything I worked hard for all my life. My children grew up without a mother and these doctors didn't care at all. Finally, I have a nurse practitioner who listens to me, doesn't judge me, truly cares and I've just had a blood test showing I have an autoimmune disease. Fibro can't be detected. By my symptoms which are the same that I had starting out 33 years ago, it looks like i have Lupus. That can be controlled with the right medicine. Neurontin almost caused me to wreck in our car and kill 4 of us. That stuff is dangerous. I had to give up driving because of that drug. That doctor is online receiving good reviews. What a joke! So much for the other "medical experts!!" We have to do our own research today because doctors do not care about their patients like they're supposed to. Except for the few here on UA-cam. Thank God for them. Pastor Charles Lawson preached a sermon about a man who is arrogant and full of pride is a fool. And they were. When you think you know everything, you don't know nothing.
Thank you, DrDhand for supporting NPs and PAs.
Dr. Dhand, i mentioned you in my medical school admission essay as my inspiration. I have been accepted into one school. Thank you
Hearing that has made my day! Congratulations on beginning this amazing journey :) Best Wishes, Suneel Dhand
As a RN, I LOVE THIS 🤍 and totally agree.
Thanks for being one of the best.
I've been married to RN and we come to / odds with our thinking of the medical system . 🙃 I have come to the conclusion that there are nurses and doctors practicing that have no business in the field of medicine. But the way the system is structured there isn't a way to weed them out ! Unless they have like broken HEPA policies or something like that 🤔. Just let me say this I have refused to let her take a splinter out, but her charting is very good. Just being honest here. ❤ ✌
I have an Osteopathic physician in a Direct Care practice, she's great. She follows the allopathic model but is open to discussion on issues, gives me plenty of time each visit and lets me help direct my care. I feel very fortunate. She and the 2 other MD's at the clinic are filled up and not taking new patients. I think the pandemic opened people's eyes as to what medical care should be like. My husband had a PA for his primary care at one point and this guy was the absolute best. I'd sure go to one if I needed to switch. Thank you Dr. D for taking a stand on this! You are right on the money!
Osteopathy? Why spread superstition and disregard science?
The most honest, unbiased, health professional on YT.
Very honest... I enjoy Dr. Darren Schmidt. The VERY Best. He takes No Insurance but he doesn't get paid unless he fixes you! How do doctors stack up against THAT!
I am a nurse practitioner, Family Medicine, just passed my one year anniversary of retirement. Many of my patients over the years shared with me their feelings of preferring an NP or PA for the very reasons you express. Thank you for having the courage to speak out about this and, in general, the valuable topics within the content of your channel.
I was warned about the dangers of the v-axx by an RN. I thank God that I listened.
I figured out on my own that we were being used as guinea pigs and it was all a money grab. I tried to tell others but they ignored me. They were afraid to go against the authority figures in the Establishment.
I sought alternative medicine over 15 years ago now, after two cardiologists (one was pursued by me solely for a second opinion) told me that I would be on beta-blockers for the rest of my life, to treat a heart arrhythmia. A friend referred me to a Naturopath. Following her advice, I was able to wean myself off of the beta-blockers. Today, I have no evidence of a heart arrhythmia, and take zero pharmaceuticals.
Thank you Dr Dhand for speaking out the truth about our corrupt medical profession, alongside our governments!
Are you familiar with Americas Frontline Doctors? They were persecuted for trying to put forth the truth. Some were even imprisoned. Such as Doctor Gold.
They treated Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough the same way for telling the truth. They were smeared and censored.
Thank you for supporting PA and NP professions. As a second career ( and now retired PA) I absolutely loved practicing medicine. Most of the physicians I worked with were great and we all got along. I started practicing at age 48 until I retired at 63 ( due to taking care of my late husband who had a progressive terminal condition). I was a dietitian for 25 years before becoming a PA. I worked as a PA in rural and underserved areas in the upper Midwest and on native American reservations. It was a privilege to serve all my patients. You are so correct about the medical education in modern times.....half of it is old and outdated info. I decided to stay retired after the pandemic since I didn't want the shot in the arm and lost all faith in the CDC and FDA, who I at one time thought were legit. I would, however, collaborate with a physician like you, since we seem to share similar values. Yes, I eat blueberries every day!
Wow! A dietitian for 25 years!?!? I can only imagine your level of knowledge and experience. Now a PA? You really should have another title besides PA. I would assume there are very few clinicians ( MD/DO, PA, NPs) who could hold a candle to your level of knowledge. You would be looked at as one the best holistic doctors of all.
I used to have a PA, and he was great. Had him for years and I felt like he honestly knew me. Since then I moved to a new state and I get a new MD assigned to me at least every six months. Most of them I've never even seen before they leave the clinic. When I do see one they act hurried and apparently have more important things to do than see me. I have no problem with NPs and PAs.
why can’t you change? are you in canada or a blue state?
I always mention their “billable hours”, and how they must ask mundane questions, that they may check another box for another
“Billable hour” consult.
Very well said. On my last medical insurance change, I was assigned a PA instead of an MD as my Primary Care. I am pleasantly surprised and pleased with the care I have received. Also, touche on hitting the nail on the head of the Covid trainwreck. Doctors could have easily stopped things in their tracks vs towing the 'company' line (lie).
Fully, concur. NPs and PAs tend to be more collaborative and are less threatened by patients who have done some preliminary research. I have found many MDs in the primary care setting to be unprepared and generally take a simplistic cookbook approach with their patients and have 0 to little interest in listening to what concerns their patients.
After working as an RN in the medical system, and having personal experiences with Medical Doctors, I now see a Naturopath for all of my health needs. It is so much better. She gives me at least a full hour of her undivided attention every time I see her. Whatever treatment I receive, it is always gentle and non invasive. She works with me and takes the time to get to know who I am and what my needs are. She addresses all of my needs -- emotional, spiritual and physical. Caring for my health in this way has actually helped me become much more sensitive and intuitive to my body's needs. In fact I don't even need to see my Naturopath very often anymore. I'm much more in tune with my body now and I feel much more in control of my own health and well being.
As a CRNA in healthcare for 25 years, I completely agree with you and appreciate your courage for speaking out.
I am a nurse practitioner, certified in family and emergency medicine and I THANK YOU for this message!!!
I just had an appointment with my first nurse practitioner and loved her! I never knew they could take on patients permanently!

The M-F, 8-4 doesn't work well with working folks. It has been so much easier being able to see her afterwork or weekends

I have lost faith in doctors for the last almost 30 years. Very test happy and pushy, scary misdiagnoses and I’ve had to tell several doctors what to do. Scary that I know more than some doctors know. I respect you and thank you for all the information you provide.
I love my NP ! This is spot on . After 10 agonizing years ( wasting 2 years with each of FIVE doctors . A humble , attentive Nurse Practitioners the only soul who listened to me , and was patient , thorough enough to help me actually reach my health goals . To this very day some 8 years later , she still is my everything . I can chat w/ her anytime on the practice nutter App. She replies to my queries. She will order my labs , anything I like almost all with ease and joy . Everything you say is so true .
Dr. Dhand, as a retired 48-yr. Healthcare Worker myself, I totally "resonate" with your cynicism regarding "M.D.'s" but also about the VERY TOXIC and fraudulent system known as "allopathic Western Medicine."
After not only working in THAT "healthcare system" for so long, but, ALSO being a "patient" of said "system" and becoming progressively sicker during the last 30 years, the ONLY THING that vastly improved AND RESTORED my health literally saving my life was strictly adhering to an organic diet and completely eliminating pharmaceutical poisons from my body.
After only THREE MONTHS of taking THOSE ACTIONS was my body returned to FULLY OPTIMAL HEALTH making me feel BETTER than I had in over THIRTY YEARS. 😉🌎😎
Thanks for sharing your story here! Keep up that excellent work. Best Wishes, Suneel Dhand

We all honor and thank you for your courage and honesty Dr.
Thank you!
Totally agree. NPs and PAs tend to listen as they don't want to miss anything and they are not arrogant for the most part.
"They were the one group of people who could have really stopped a lot of the madness you saw" 6:04
Truer words have never been spoken 😢
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I have a PA that I trust to practice in the beliefs I hold.
"Physician medical education could be cut in half; most of what is learned is unnecessary...."
The same (sadly) goes for most academic degrees.
Many years ago I had the best PA who listened and did what I asked. He knew I didn't want medications. Because of acid reflux, he assigned a Nitritionist to me, show me a doctor who does that. He also referred me to a Chiropractor, show me a doctor who does that, they'll write a prescription and send you to big pharma.
VA healthcare utilizes PA and NPs, they offer compassionate care. My husband recently complained that he has never seen his VA primary care Dr. And i said thats great, no wonder you are so healthy. I applaud dr dhand for giving them recognition. We need all these medical professionals however patients need to be listened to, they know their bodies.
When I worked for over 30 years in a well baby clinic, primarily as a board certified lactation consultant, I can't tell you how many times I picked up orthopedic issues from vacuum deliveries or preventing a poor infant from hospitalisation due to spitting up a few drops of blood from a mother's cracked nipple. The lack of logical thinking blew my mind.
My best primary care physician was a FNP with 30 years of experience. She could predict things well, listen a long time and be open to all sorts of options
Good to know!
What does FNP stand for.
@@dianapugh1534 Family nurse practionner!
I hated my primary care doctor, he was an a hole. We both agreed it was not a good fit, but I did see his PA. As a retired nurse, I could speak honestly with the PA and we would be able to come up with a reasonable care plan.
This is absolutely true! I've had a couple of health scares. In both incidents, the Physician Assistants offered the most constructive help.
Thank you for doing what you are doing. I have with you since C-19 and you have truly been the voice of reason. You are the voice of common sense without bending or bowing to the machine. Keep doing you!
The one thing you might be overlooking is the perverse situation that many MDs find themselves in with student debt and family obligations. The system itself is structurally compromised.
100% the system is so corrupt
Very true. Just like other employed people they too were threatened with their livelihood. Many also trusted the system, had no idea that we were all being played .
I must be blessed. I found three different GPs in ten years during a doctor shortage. The first two were pretty bad but the GP I have now is great. He put me on the Ketogenic Diet instead of giving me pills for my Insulin Resistance. My MD Specialist is great too. I have a difficult condition and she always makes extra time for me. I am VERY lucky to have these excellent physicians in my life. Otherwise ...
Thank you Dr. Dhand for speaking the truth to your MD colleagues. Most of them definitely need a wake up call and it is true that many folks are looking for alternatives. Also agree that collectively, doctors could have made a stand against the tyranny and lies, but instead left it to a brave few like yourself.
Sounds like a good option I should look into. Both my wife and myself have seen our doctors recently. More than a month to get an appointment and god forbid if you have more than one health concern. My wife's doctor even told her "I don't have time for this". She came home in tears. I had a similar experience, my doctor had one foot out the door the whole appointment.
I was forced to see a PA at my GP practice recently. She was a nice lady, but she knew nothing of medicine! I ended up telling her how to treat me. Luckily I have some medical knowledge and I know a lot about my chronic condition and how to treat it. I feel sorry for people who have no medical knowledge and cannot advocate for themselves.
Dr. Dhand is in the same boat as you. I can see him choosing a PA but for the rest of us I think not.
I just went through the same thing with a PA. She was dumb as a rock...couldn't tell the difference between a rash or a burn. I won't even get into my chronic pain. Wishing you the best.
same here until the NP screwed up after 4mos. of my complaints......I worked pharmacy & kept questioning her about my blood work and asked what was going on....complained to the nurse asked for the MD & 5 min. problem diagnosed & fixed after I spoke about what was going on
There are definitely exceptions, but I’ve had much better experiences with NPs and PAs than with MDs.
I totally agree👍
I have had some very disturbing rxperiences in my 53 years
I have a np. My Doctors keep quitting and they are all in another world. I totally agree with you. My np listens and does more for me than the last 3 doctors I had. Also, np's are more open to alternative and hollistic natural approaches. Regular Dr's not quite the same.....
I'm 47 and i haven't had medical insurance for most of my adult life. The medical system in the US corrupt and inept at best.
I am seeing a NP on Tuesday. She is in the gastroenterologist office. I'm suffering with abdominal pain and my ultrasound showed that I have a 4mm polyp in my gallbladder. Nothing to worry about. My pain is coming from my stomach. I tried to see a new MD in my new hometown. She never did put a stethoscope on me. She gave me antibiotics when I never had an infection. She messed up my stomach and I have been in pain since July 2023
I went back to my old doctor and I do love my Vietnamese Primary care doctor. I have been his patient for 30 years. ❤❤
Antibiotics destroy good gut bacteria as well as the offending kind. Probiotics replenish good bacteria. I am an ND.
@@Hope.Israel.prophetic ... Yes! I always eat non-fancy yogurt when taking antibiotics.
And here in England things aren’t looking much better! Our “beloved” NHS system is creaking under the strain of an ageing society, with ever more chronic diseases to try to manage. With worn-out, demoralised, post (?) pandemic staff who were once hailed as “heroes” and are now on the receiving end of treatment-delay frustrations…and have recently been striking for better wages. What a bloody mess!
It’s very sad what’s happening to the NHS. Seems to be getting worse every year
@@drsuneeldhand UK: It is surprising how difficult it is to get to see a 'GP' (doctor) personally for oneself or a partner. Especially 'out of hours' or at 'weekend'. It often means a visit to the local Hospital or 'emergency services' which can take many hours to actually respond. ;-/ Of course, this causes extra delays for the hospital services as they get 'overloaded'. ;-/
@@drsuneeldhandThe US health insurance industry is trying to take over from the NHS. I wonder if this has anything to do with the NHS's deterioration? (Make it look bad so Big Insurance can save it?)
@@stephaniecarrow4898 God help us if the UK goes the way of the USA. pHARMa has us in its sights but people are seeing more clearly what that would mean.
Don't blame the older population, they paid in!
I'm with you Dr Dhand. I have lost faith in MDs. I fired my pill pushing loser when the mask hysteria began. Didn't receive medical care for 2 years and got healthier and healthier. When I finally needed help, I found a FNP who is patient, actually listens and seems to have empathy. But when it comes down to it, *I* am in charge of my health and I will not allow anyone to harm me or manipulate me into harming myself. Those phake pharma medical practitioners days are numbered.
I am very fortunate to know physicians and pharmacists who are also qualified in homeopathy - my South African connections. It was homeopathic remedies that I had previously received from a pharmacist friend in the UK, that got me through Covid without seeing a doctor and saved me from the Emergency dept. of Vancouver hospitals. Thanks be to God! Since then my children have also benefited from those remedies during 2 cases of Covid. 🙏🏼
Like physicians portrayed in films , in the 1930s, and on television, in the 1960s, Dr. Dhand earns my respect for his forthright and courageous statements about current medical care.
I MUCH prefer seeing the N.P. at the 'few' doctors offices who have them in my large medical team; I only wish every office had one I could lean toward for all the reasons you mentioned. There's a faithful dialogue between the N.P. that just isn't possible with the doctor! In fact, I'm always extremely grateful if I can make it to a human being at all due to the abusive telephone trees one must fight thru! I HATE that. And the response from the 'system' after a message is left is: "Someone will get back to you within 1 to 5 business DAYS (not 'hours'....DAYS)."
Just please keep up your videos. The corruption in the medical system is a nightmare.
Honestly I prefer seeing a doctor. Those extra years in school and the whole intense medical school process of selecting those most willing and with the capacity and dedication to go through medical school and residency in general means that doctors know more. Yes maybe overworked and some less compassionate than some nurses or PAs, but still prefer to have a doctor as my doctor.
This is encouraging. Over the past 10ish years, I have mostly seen NPs and PAs when seeking medical attention. I always felt I was being short-changed, so it's good to hear this.
My last doctor visit was with an NP, she was great, opened minded snd very suspicious of what was going on during the covid BS, she refused to get vaccinated despite she may lose her position, she was wanting to get into what is known as functional medicine any way !!!🤔😀
100% agree!
When I had severe double c@v|d pneumonia I got under an amazing MD. She put me on ivermectin, quercetin, NAC, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Zinc and I was completely well with 4 days. ❤
Recently moved to Fl and had to wait a YEAR for an appt! But I research all doctors that my husband and I may need to see. I could have gotten an earlier appt. With a doctor that did not specialize in geriatric care and had wonderful patient reviews. Having worked in a hospital for 24 years I’ve learned that your best advocate is yourself and if you can find a doctor who will actually listen to you and work with you it is gold😊. Also I have tended to find doctors who believe in finding the cause of health problems not just ordering a new med for it.
I am on Medicare and looked for a more wholistic doctor but there were zero to be found, at least in my (Chicagoland) area. I think that's really unfair that we (older) people have no choice in respect.
Did you find one I'm searching in Chicago area also?
Happy 9th Anniversary today on UA-cam Dr. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂 I thank God that you're here❣
The best advice I have ever heard from a medical doctor! ❤.
There was a time when you were uncomfortable with something, you'd tell your Dr. And dr. Would help you immediately. You felt safe in hospital or doctors office. Thanks again! ❤
My own doctor retired this year, in no small part to escape the industry that required him to file a religious exemption to avoid taking the poison. I am in good health and will be VERY wary about who I turn to for checkups.
Absolutely right on.
I worked for 30 years as an RN in cardiac critical care and spent lots of time with NPs and PAs. Like the doctors, there were some truly wonderful practitioners and some kind of lousy ones. First impressions don't always give a true assessment.
We are so grateful for the information that you give us. Thank you for all your hard years of studying
You are so right, Dr. Dhand! God bless!!
I absolutely love my cardiology NP. She is very knowledgeable, takes the time to explain things in plain English, explains treatment options with pros and cons of each, and she actually listens.
I did stump her once on a question, and rather than give me a complete B.S. answer, she said she didn't know. The next day she called me and said that she had asked one of the MD cardiologists, and she had gotten an answer. She truly is a gem, and I would recommend her to anyone.
As if we have a choice. My HMO has more physicians' assistants than doctors. I can get an appointment but no M.D. The.P.A.s are earnest but often hapless. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather die than be treated in the US healthcare system.
It isn't only the US 'Healthcare system'. It ain't very good here in the UK either. ;-/
I have heard the same from many in my circle.
same here in Switzerland.
Trust in Jesus..Jesus Loves you ...he is merciful
Jesus is the greatest physician and psychiatrist
Knows all about us with all our warts..is the God of the impossible
Amen hallelujah ❤❤
Never puts you on hold always listening... glory !!❤❤❤❤❤
I had a wonderful MD for nearly 30 years who recently retired. His young replacement, although personable, would politely disregard my concerns and requests.
I switched to a preventative medicine practice and my new primary care clinician is an NP.
Instead of handing me a prescription and sending me on my way, he asked good questions, discussed healthy lifestyle choices, and listened to my concerns.
As a result he uncovered some possible issues and made the appropriate referral. 😊👍
As a NP, I appreciate this, thank you!
In New Zealand, Dr Matt Shelton with 38yrs of practice did speak out during the pandemic and he was fired.
I love my NP! He takes time with me and listens
As a retired NP I thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have been following your videos for some time now and you are a beacon of light in the medical profession.
Thanks Mary!
Love you man. KEEP TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!!!
Good for you! Thank you for speaking out because western medicine should do better.
As an NP I have the utmost respect for all providers MD, DO, DC, NP and PA.
I have gone to NPs since the early 90s and love the compassion and time given by an NP. I knew when I was in nursing school that would be my ultimate goal. After 18 years of bedside nursing I became a nurse practitioner. I love to hear when my patients are thankful for the time and attention given. I have learned this through years of nursing practice, watching other providers in my own personal life and taking the advice from my mentors. In a time when healthcare has become so much more about money and higher volumes it’s rare to find providers who take the time to give their patients what they need. I am in a specialty so my circumstance is definitely different than those in primary care or some specialties that have a high volume of patients.
Agreed. We must educate ourselves too. Do your research!
How did I miss all this???
My dr is a PA.
And is open to many of my thoughts on health care.
I never vaxxed, he never pressured me.
I was grateful for that.
He has to ask if I want my “flu” shot.
I dip my chin and with a grin, just look at him with raised eyes.
A small shake of my head, he gets the message.
Of course I remind him of my dead daughter from vax injury.
So there’s that….
I was responsible for my mother's care until she died. The nurse practitioners listened, spent time with us, and administered better care than her doctors. I now use a nurse practitioner for my primary since she invites me to participate in the discussion of my own medical care. She always offers natural remedies before pills, and she doesn't get offended by questions and comments.
I am so in agreement with this Doctor's statements. I must also group Doctors of Osteopathic medicine along with PA's and NP's!
My young doctor is a DO. I would say he is 33-35. He listens carefully, and never once coerced me to take anything I said I didn’t want. I think the various levels of preparation all have their benefit. Of all, the MD training programs are the least humane and most abusive.
God Bless and Protect You!
I am a nurse and lost faith too. There appears to be a direct correlation between amount of money a person makes in medicine and the lack of willingness or ability to speak up and do the right thing. I spoke out and continue to speak out but was told I was stupid.
God bless you for speaking out. The ones with big titles were not helpful and did not give the society the truth
The Love of money is the root of all evil
1 Timothy 6:10
King James Version
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.❤❤
I love my N. P. he sits down and talks to me about my health a long time. No doctor has ever done that. There are no doctors in my town.
I agree with you. I don't have a pcp. I have been looking for one and every doctor in my area is not accepting new patients over the age of 18.
What area are you in?
@@amylee9 New England
@@johnnalussier1702 ~ I'm not sure if this will help, but check to see if there my be a "patient advocate" at your nearest hospital. Our hospital had a stack of leaflets in the waiting area with a picture of a gal who was their "Patient Advocate" .. and across the top it read ... "Are you looking for a new Doctor? .... let me help!" You could also Google the term 'Patient Advocate near me'...Or with a zip code, or closest city. Good luck!
I was a medical secretary & Spanish translator in 2 different pediatric EDs in my 20s, these were teaching hospitals & two of the doctors kept a list on them at all times of what residents they could make cry. These men did way more than that but they had so many children’s lives in their hands. It made me look at doctors very differently after that.
I've had a NP for several years and I'm very happy with my care.
I so so believe in what u say...It is nothing but truth
As a medical student myself...I feel , this system has got so toxic FOR BOTH DOCTORS AND THEIR PATIENTS that it can barely survive
Facts! I stopped seeing doctors except for my chiropractor. Most doctors I've dealt with in my lifetime are very insecure and don't listen. I was accused of being an internet doctor for being active in my own health! My primary care doctor REFUSED to listen to anything I tried to tell her about food as medicine.
From Leo: I have nothing personally against any of the NP's or PA's I have seen. My beef is that the specialist wants me to come in for an appointment, then the PA sees me, takes my blood pressure, asks if I have any problems and sends me home. Then the hospital bills me $545 for an office visit with a specialist.
Thank you so much for your honesty on the medical profession. I thank goodness for doctors like you who aren’t afraid to tell the everyday person what’s really going with doctors/ patients.
I myself have been gaslighted on more than one occasion by doctors over the years ….but it’s only now I realise. My current doctor is sadly far from good but I’m not going to let him fob me off anymore thanks to your advice. Thank you again!
Dr. Dhand, you are a rockstar! I much prefer NP's and PA's to regular MD's, but you still gotta be careful. They don't always know better. I've had a PA diagnose my shingles based on a sore on my nose, which was awesome. When I looked it up, I was like, "I'll be damned; that's a thing."
On the flip side, I had a PA try to prescribe me cipro for a uncomplicated UTI in 2018. I think it was 2013 or thereabouts when the FDA came out and said not to prescribe fluoroquinolones except as a last resort b/c of the risks. I asked for nitrofurantoin and I got it.
And I had a NP suggest a lyme test when I had a tick bite (and fever and chills a few days later). I said, "Isn't it true that early on when it's easily treated, the test might be negative?" She said, "Yes, that's true. Do you just want me to prescribe you some doxy?" I said yes, got the doxy, and my fever broke after the first dose. However, my friend's husband went to the same NP, she talked him into a lyme test, which came back negative, and my friend had to call and beg them several days later to call him in some doxy b/c he was getting worse! Same woman, and this happened AFTER I had seen her.
And this same NP prescribed ORAL vancomycin for my friend's MRSA infection. Our infectious disease doc told her to go the hospital and she would put in an order for IV vanc.
On the plus side, NP's and PA's have less ego, and don't get so upset when you challenge them.
I think modern medicine, especially in the US is completely f*^&@ed. I have knowledge as I work in the clinical lab field, but I feel bad for people who don't know any better and do what these morons tell them.
I believe that you are spot on about medicine here in the US. It is a sad situation that there is no longer trust in the doctors. I have a primary care doctor but when I have been treated by a PA or a Nurse Practitioner I have been very pleased with my experience. Thank you for sharing.
Amen 🙏 thank you are appreciated you are 💯 correct
I totally agree with you Dr. Dhand. I personally dont like to go to different drs'. Was wondering about NP. now! some of my doctors are great! But may need a new GP. Thanks for this, so much to say, but little time. Thanks is again, love you Dr. Dhand! Have a restful evening!
