monday night cholent -“Health, I’m not sure you corrected any misconceptions. I am sure there are some good PA’s out there, but I have been to some and I was not impressed. And once someone thinks about it, you cant compare a Dr to a Pa. One has a minimum of 7 years of training, the other 2 and 1/2.”
Well let me correct you again. Btw, I don’t know if you have any medical education -if you do then we can get into more detail.
You are correct in the difference in educations -PA’s and NP’s have much less education than physicians.
But that doesn’t translate into reality.
This isn’t my personal opinion, but I heard this from a top ID specialist. The avg. Doctor is just that -average. There are two types of PA’s -some below avg. and some above avg., when compared to Docs. The split is somewhere in the middle from the whole group. Some PA’s are just acting like nurses. OTOH, I’ve, IMHO, have found very few NP’s above avg., most are usually below.
