Recent Anti anp sentiment.

Has anyone had a recent barrage of anti ANP patients ? I have been in advanced practice since around 2010. This week has been the first time patients have got shirty when they have been told they are seeing the nurse practitioner. The weird thing is three patients complained. In two shifts. Yet nothing for the previous 16 years ?

I’m more than happy for them to see a doctor and honestly the first patient who asked to see a
Doctor really didn’t bother me I’m all for advocating! Maybe I did t explain something well. Maybe the trust was not there. So I went and pulled the doctor who said the same thing as what I had said. She phoned up the next day too apologise. It really was no problem. I Was not offended, surprised maybe as I put a lot of effort into my clinics.

Today however two male patients were rude with it. Im not sure what the deal is has there been som
Campaign against us ? They had not spoken to me or seen me. Both were more than suitable for my clinic. ( both left happy and declined to see a doctor) but it was initial rudeness that surprised me and made me re think things.

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed a
