To the editor:
I'm not sure about my opinion of Title VII; however, we are oversupplied with primary care providers in our area.
In addition, the issue of nurse practitioners being equivalent to family physicians in their own eyes and in their advertising needs to be seriously addressed. We certainly don't need more primary care physicians if NPs are infiltrating everywhere and are not willing to work closely with doctors.
