Brutally Honest!

Revisado: 12-12-21

I am a physician specializing in Psychiatry. I just completed my 4 year residency in Psychiatry in the US and a 6 year medical school in India , took 3 part USMLE exam ( US medical licensing exams) before I was licensed to practice independently in the US. On top of that I just got board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as a testimony to my expertise in my field. Overall I have finished 10 years of medical education, 5 licensing exams, each of which were 8-9 hour long, USMLE step 3 being a 2 day exam and have cost me over $10000 to be designated as a board certified physician in the US. These exams included hundreds in of questions in Medicine, surgery, pediatrics, OBGYN, ethics, Biostats before I was allowed to be licensed.

When I started practicing in the real world with NPs just a few months ago, I was aghasted by the misdiagnosis and poly pharmacy that’s happening on our mentally ill patients. This is the most vulnerable population with limited insight and can be adjudicated to have forced treatment. In my opinion, NPs and PAs should undergo 1-2 year of standardized in person training in the field they choose to practice in and never be allowed to practice without a physician overview. The book helped me appreciate the widespread mismanagement and encroachment in different fields of medicine and the importance of organized medicine and patient advocacy by physicians. If I am a patient, I expect to be treated by a physician like me or at least see a physician during my encounter as was the case throughout my residency training where all patients saw an attending physician during the visit after seeing me. It’s time when corporates stop making money out of us and treat medical field as a business.
