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.

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.

Gender - XX chromosome carriers
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?

My NP is a shitload better than all the doctors at the practice.

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?

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 quarterAnd 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:

Which is concerning since the doctors were proctologists.
