Probably almost every woman in my ward has had an augmentation without much else done. I think most people are

My biggest issue is the cost. Hard to justify that. But whatever.

Backcountry

Seems like its worth it, especially when they usually do 2 for the price 1

Well worth the cost as one who paid for them and gets to see them daily.

Potential complications scare me too. Unnecessary risk.

His wife probably pointed it out. They notice, then talk.

I loved Plastics, great field.

SJS

I think I'd love the surgery part of it, this is just in office cosmetics stuff

Blue Golfer

7/9/20 8:47pm

If you’re a PA student, you won’t be “doing surgery”. Maybe assisting though.

SJS

7/9/20 8:49pm

Lol. Yes, I know. When I say do surgery, I mean to say that's the field I'd like

Blue Golfer

Hey man that’s elitist

CardiacCoug

7/9/20 8:54pm

It’s like when nurses do “residencies”, by which they mean extended orientation

SJS

7/9/20 8:55pm

Haha I remember the first time a nurse told me she was doing a residency. I was like

7/9/20 8:58pm

If they came back to me and said I had to do residency again, I would quit.

SJS

Literally have nightmares about this

Slim

7/9/20 9:55pm

Sad thing is I look back on residency and fellowship and think how easy it was

If you could avoid litigation/high premiums, would you still feel this way?

D.T. Survivor

It’s not so much litigation as license/privilege restriction that’s terrifying.

Yep. My partner got run out of one job. Sure that happens. He piped up when

cougfanz

We have this PA that works for us now that was a surgery PA for many years. Now he’s been doing internal medicine stuff

I love a great PA.. I’m such a fan of PAs over NPs and some of them

cougfanz

7/10/20 12:05am

We have 3 PAs with our group. They’re great.

SJS

7/10/20 7:04am

PAs do parts of surgeries unassisted at Walter Reed without incident.

valleus

7/9/20 10:53pm

If I was a PA I would totally do the military or something similar

cougfanz

7/10/20 12:08am

Did they do 5+ years residency, possibly a fellowship, pass written and oral boards, maintain privileges/certifications?

SJS

7/10/20 7:06am

Wish there was a pathway for PA advancement

giveme1luke2go

7/10/20 9:53am

They have a pathway for that: med school and then residency

Such an elitist

This is the exact attitude that is the problem

giveme1luke2go

7/10/20 12:40pm

Where PAs can advance is on the entrepreneurial side of things. Locally

cougfanz

7/10/20 2:12pm

Sorry, no such thing as on the job training. Want to be a doc? Go to medical school.

SJS

Have I once mentioned on the job training?

They probably let nurses do anesthesia too

Under the guidance of a board certified anesthesiologist? Sure.

Still. Seems dangerous.
