“Hi. Thank you for this podcast. I enjoyed the information presented by Ken Berry, MD. However, I was not impressed with his outdated and antiquated view of NPs (and PA’s). He referred to having “midlevels” as patients who, unsurprisingly, are on board with patient education, empowerment, and evidence based nutritional interventions. He should know better than to use this insulting term (another is physician extender) given he lives in Nashville, TN.
I graduated from the NP/MSN program at Vanderbilt University in Nashville in 2002, and obtained national board certification as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. NPs are independent, autonomous licensed providers who assess, diagnose, and prescribe treatment within their specialty. NPs are not trained to provide “mid level” care. In fact, research shows NPs meet and exceed patient safety, satisfaction, and clinical care outcomes when compared with MD colleagues. Dr. Berry criticized his medical colleagues for mental laziness when it comes to relying on weak epidemiological research, but he clearly needs to update his thinking, familiarize himself with patient outcome studies, and read about the national movement occurring with the role of independent NP providers. I work as a licensed, independent provider at the VA.
In his defense, the South has always lagged behind other parts of the country when it comes to accepting the NP role, many states still requiring collaborative practice agreements. I have always practiced independently as a Psychiatric NP in academic medical centers, jails, prisons, and community health centers in WA and CA. I also worked for over 10 years as an RN in palliative and oncology care. I integrate LCHF education and counseling into my care of patients with mental illness, in addition to prescribing medication. Sarah Lewis, NP, PMHNP-BC”

“Very difficult to listen to and follow Dr. Krauss. What an appalling interview! Actually, I gave up listening. This could have been done so much better. At best it’s boring, at worst its unbearable.”
