Lol - PAs do not do the same things as doctors do "just as well".
Absolutely true. I had a PA completely misdiagnose me. She didn’t order the proper diagnostic tests, (X-ray, MRI) wouldn’t listen to me describe my symptoms or do a proper checkup. My pain was 9 on a Level of 1-10. She said I had a muscle strain when even I knew it was a herniated disc. Cracker Jack degree. I pay enough money to see a Doctor not a glorified nurse.
Well I had a doctor completely misdiagnose me and cost me the full use of one of my limbs.
I have much rather had a PA who was up on the current literature, invested in their patients, and not just coasting on the fat paycheck.
