In many cases the NP is just as knowledgeable as the doctor. And in most cases, the doctor reviews the NPs work. You were probably moved because your case did not need a doctor to be there and there was someone else who did need the doctor. As an example, what you experienced is how one of the large...

I think I stated before that the picture was taken with a cameras that has a tendency to distort the picture a little with closeups. It was not adjusted properly in the picture, just thrown on.
