I think if we all protested and not let anyone else but the dr do our fills ( since they are charging us as if the dr has actually performed the procedure.) then the medical assitants and the paramedics will not have any anyone to practice on. i can see letting a nurse practioner do it but not a rn who has not had the proper credentials. As an RN I think it is dabgerous to let anyone who is not the dr do the fills.
