The High Status of Physicians

Physicians are given so much respect because of the years of training and education they received. They also have much more hands on experience when it comes to health issues. Although nurses and other healthcare professionals work equally as hard, they are unfortunately less respected, perhaps because of fewer years in school. However, everyone knows that without the help of nurses/P.A.s etc., a hospital or a clinic would not run as smoothly. Nurses, for example, see patients a lot more often than doctors. They usually get to know the patient better and build a relationship with them. Doctors who truly care about their patients deserve a high degree of recognition but other health professional should receive the same respect.
