Mom's excuse is always, "Well she can do everything a doctor does, even prescribe medication and she doesn't believe in always pushing pills like doctors do". I'm not bashing NP's, I would trust them treating general and basic medical issues, but not anything serious like blood pressure or treating the cardiovascular system, I believe that should be left for actual medical doctors.. How can I convince her to actually see a doctor for a 2nd opinion?
Who would you trust more treating you medically? A NP or an MD? I think my mom needs a second opinion from an actual M. D. How can I convince her?
