    I’d see her.

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

            The clinic has a couple of MDs and a DO or two.

            Of course, a chiropractor a naprapath and a naturopath.

            Not to be missed is the one in charge of Shamanic Healing.

            "Doctor" Neumann also gives therapy for "Immune support," whatever the hell that is.

              Shamanic healing? Really? Is Dr. Neuman a shaman? Or just a sham?

                https://wholehealthchicago.com/about/jordan-neumann

                Jordan Neumann is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner who graduated with her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Rush University this spring.

                I don't see any indication exactly which spring that is.

                Conditions Treated
                .Allergies and food sensitivities
                .Candida and parasite issues
                .Chronic lyme disease
                .Fibromyalgia
                .Chronic fatigue
                .Thyroid, adrenal and sex hormone issues
                .Weight management
                .Women’s health
                .Men’s health
                .Peptide therapy
                .Infusion and injection therapy
                .Immune support
                .Nutritional support

                Are those all "conditions"?

                  Fibromyalgia

                  Is there even such a thing?

                  Anyone I’ve ever met who said they “suffered” from it and maintained it was “chronic”’also hated their jobs and maximised any sickness and short and long term disability benefits they had. At the same time they all complained that their doctors couldn’t find anything physically wrong with them after exhaustive tests. Some MDs even told them it was all in their heads and sent them on their way.

                    It's another way of saying chronic fatigue syndrome.

                      We'd see at least one fibromyalgia sufferer come to the OR every two months.

                      Common features:

                      • Age - late 20s to mid 40s.
                      • Gender - XX chromosome carriers (yeah, I said that)
                      • Marital status - married
                      • Suburban - almost never saw this when I worked downtown
                      • Generally a "miserable-looking" person.

                      I've seen some work that suggests that fibromyalgia has an organic cause - but these studies are sporadic and never verifiable.

                        Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder of unknown etiology that affects up to 5.0% of the world population. It has a high female predominance, between 80 and 96%. Due to the low number of diagnosed men, research work has focused mainly on women.

                            How long is the FNP program and what kind of work happens during it? There might only be 6 days of classroom instruction but is there a mentorship program working with physicians in their current workplace?

                              I’ve seen two NPs lately. I’m more concerned with their experience and general cognitive ability than their formal education. On average, NPs might be less than MDs in those areas, but any given NP might be good.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                    I think there’s a very important place for NPs. As our knowledge grows in so many fields of medicine, there’s been a greater need for specialization. As that continues to grow, so has the need to have more skilled service providers between the traditional nurse and specialist, but more and more autonomy and responsibility is being thrust upon these roles without subsequent education and training requirements.

                                      I also worry that while NPs get a lot of the technical training necessary for the roles, they receive less of the ethical and moral training that comes with the years of schooling.

                                        44 credits… to become a practicing physician requires 150 postgrad credits, no? 1 semester of medical ethics course. How does that compare with medical school?

                                          44 credits… to become a practicing physician requires 150 postgrad credits, no? 1 semester of medical ethics course. How does that compare with medical school?

                                          No idea what it's like now.

                                          But, I can tell you my curriculum from the dark ages.

                                          Gross Anatomy: 3 quarters.
                                          Neuro Anatomy: 1 quarter
                                          Biochemistry: 2 quarter
                                          Micro Anatomy (Histology): 2 quarters
                                          Pharmacology: 2 quarters
                                          Anatomy Lab (cadaver): 3 Quarters
                                          Physiology: 3 Quarters
                                          Psychology: 1 Quarter
                                          Physical Diagnosis: 1 quarter

                                          And then...you got to touch patients.

                                          Physical Diagnosis on real people: 2 quarters.

                                          And then you got to work in a hospital.

                                          Internal Medicine: 1 quarter (12 weeks) - you 'shadow' an intern
                                          Neurology: 6 weeks
                                          Psychiatry: 6 weeks
                                          Surgery: 12 weeks (1 week to anesthesiology)
                                          OB/GYN: 6 weeks
                                          Pets: 6 weeks.

                                          Then, you go to do electives, and internal medicine as a senior was required.
                                          I did 12 weeks of anesthesiology.

                                          I may have missed something, but that's the gist of it.

                                          I don't feel like wading through the current curriculum, but here it is:

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
