A huge piece of a physician's medical training is knowing what questions to ask (as well as how and when to ask) to uncover the sneaky things that aren't apparent on the surface. For example, as a 4th year medical student, I had a patient in the ER that came in with shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest discomfort. There were a couple hints of red flags, so I asked more questions that didn't seem like they were related at all. Was he having unintended weight changes, night sweats, or changes to his bowel movements? The answer to all three was "yes", but he had no idea why I was asking about that when he was there for breathing problems. I had a suspicion that he was having complications from metastatic cancer, and I was right. The resident I was working with hadn't even thought to dig into those other niggling suspicions and was more focused on cardiac and pulmonary causes of chest pain and breathing problems.
I can almost guarantee that a nurse practitioner wouldn't have asked those questions either. I keyed into some very subtle signs on his exam which prompted me to dig deeper, but NP's aren't even really trained on how to get a deeper history, let alone when to do so.
