in Seattle, a Nurse Practitioner

[Guest guest]

,

I'm not quite sure the reason you said what you did -- " you're not a doctor

or a nurse' -- maybe it was an email thing. How would you know if I'm

not a nurse??

Sounded like you were upset I made that disclaimer. I was just trying to

say I wasn't a professional, just wanted to learn and gather

information. Correct me if I'm wrong. Probably just an email thing.

You're not only not a doctor, you aren't nurse either.

I am 65. I have no problems. Except my ongoing disgust at how nurse

practitioners are somehow 'overlooked' when folks talk about their

medical and mental health issues. We do the work with higher patient

satisfaction than MDs have.
