Em question

[allendo]

So I was telling a doc the other day I wanted to do EM as a career. He told me to become a specialist b/c Pa's and Np's will be taking over EM in the near future?? Any truth to this???

Gas heard this too, so did a ton of other fields. Bottom line is (I dont know where you are in your training) but the only place I have seen these midlevels is in the fast track area.

FWIW in the Derm practice I spent a few weeks at as an M4 he has a PA, ortho and Uro, CT Surg also use PAs in my experience.

I look at it like this, they do work and you bill for it. It is a way to make EVEN more money since PAs cant work outside of the supervision of docs in most states.

Anyways.. dont worry and do what you want to do since there is still a boatload of cash to make in medicine.

I'm in it for the glamour. BTW does anyone know a good way to get vomit stains out of your underware. I got a direct hit and it kind of soaked through.

Step 1: soak underwear in alternating baths of bleach and peroxide

Step 2: Take the money you made during your last shift

Step 3: Go to Target and buy new underware

Step 4: Throw away stained underware

But they were my lucky underwear. Not wearing them would be just like saying the "Q" word.

 

[EctopicFetus]

No. They were. I love getting puked on. JK

But seriously, luck in my world is determined by volume not type of patients.

Well maybe it was a good day Did you need some extra $$ to make up for your gambling losses?

So I did a quick google search on sex + vomit and got "Roman Showers" I guess whatever floats your boat man!
