Über diesen Titel

 Patients at Risk exposes the political maneuvering and corporate greed that has led to the replacement of physicians by lesser trained practitioners, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants. As corporations seek to save money and government agencies aim to increase constituent access, minimum qualifications for our nation’s healthcare guardians continue to decline—with deadly consequences. This is a story that has not yet been told, and one that has dangerous repercussions for all Americans.© 2025 Patients at Risk Hygiene & gesundes Leben

  • Drs. Bernard and Shaffer testify before the South Carolina Legislature on scope of practice

    Drs. Bernard and Shaffer testify before the South Carolina Legislature on scope of practice
    Sep 13 2025

    The South Carolina Legislature has introduced bills that would allow unsupervised practice to nurse practitioners and physician assistants after 2000 hours of experience, as well as a bill that would expand pharmacist privileges. On the flip side, there's also a bill that would enhance team-based care, ensuring that physicians remain in the lead of medical care and strengthening requirements and enforcement of physician oversight.

    Today, you'll hear just a small part of the very, very long two days of testimony before the South Carolina legislature on these bills. Dr. Phil Schaffer and I were invited by the South Carolina Medical Association and we were asked specifically to focus on data - specifically, the evidence to support unsupervised practice.

    Take a listen to our testimony and at the end you'll hear a few questions from legislators.

    IF YOU'RE A SOUTH CAROLINA PHYSICIAN, please join and support the South Carolina Medical Association (SCMA) - they are working hard to fight for physician-led care. https://www.scmedical.org/

  • 25 patients harmed and one dies after nurse permitted to perform ERCPs

    25 patients harmed and one dies after nurse permitted to perform ERCPs
    Aug 18 2025

    One patient died and 25 others were found to have been harmed when a nurse was permitted to perform complex medical procedures in the UK.

    Gastroenterologist Dr. Kaveh Hoda joins me to discuss the necessary training to perform an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a procedure most commonly used to remove gallstones.

    From the BBC article: 68 patients underwent ERCPs with a 'single consultant nurse', and a review found that 58 received "substandard" care from the service between 2016-21, including 25 who "suffered some degree of harm". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clym224qgdyo

    As nurses and PAs continue to advocate for more privileges, could this happen in the US?
