NPs sue to use "Doctor" title

The sad thing is that the bill might very well pass as it can be seen as a way of lowering the cost of medical care.

The teaching profession has been feeding off the narrative that they're underpaid heroes for as long as I've been alive. Any hero narrative will end up biting you as the beneficiaries take it for granted, and then want more, in a perpetual cycle. Similar to oppression narratives. Maybe there's a similar narrative thing going on with nursing.

Hmmm … I think I see a pattern:
- Soldiers as heroes … the military has problem recruiting enough cadets.
- Police as heroes … the police has problem recruiting enough cadets.
- Nurses as heroes … we have nurse shortage.
- Teachers as heroes … we have teacher shortage.

The police and soldier as hero narratives have long since passed. Obviously the mainstream narrative for police these days is villain. Soldier is still respected somewhat.
