I am not sure why your primary provider is not a doctor. Could you get a doctor to see you?

My GP does have two nurse practioners working for him. So I am usually asked if I want to see my doc or does it matter. Usually I want to see him but sometimes I don’t care and see NP if it’s a minor thing.

But everyone I know go to a doctor and see PAs or NPs only if they are there and you are ok just seeing them. But they aren’t your primary providers.

I’ve been reading on this forum how many people either don’t have GP at all or it’s not the actual doctor but NP pr PA or some people just go to random urgent care for no urgent needs expecting treatment. I wonder if it’s a regional thing. No one I know does it here.

Could you talk to a mechanic if it’s worth to repair a transmission? It might be worth it?
