Excellent point ...I will say in some care there is less knowledge

needed. NP doing Physician's work, in my state they had a bill up to have

nautropaths do Family Care Medicine in underserved areas of the state (never

made it through), another listserve they were talking about a push to have

EMS personnel do some basic medical care (outside of the ambulance), how

many times have you corrected a nurse regarding nutrition advice, chiros

with all of the craziest nutrition advice I have ever seen, and even some

RDs are NOT immune of going off the " deep end " with advice. Off my rant!!
