Graduating this May as a Physician Assistant

From reading your posts, you're either an absolutely hilarious guy in person, or you rival Teletubbies for annoyingness. Your posts do usually get a laugh from me though.

never been called annoying but I'm trying to have some fun with an occasional insert of sanity or logic which does not typically exist at my job

Get your CCW permit. You'll have a script pad, so you should be able to get it pretty easily.

Really???

meth is dangerous....Ether is too unstable and has a possiblity of exploding or the gases will turn you into a vegetable. money is good in the asian slave trade

slave trade? good idea but with a BS in chem I wouldnt say he's got the background... tell ya what I got a buddy that oriental (that term offends him) and so I'll ask what skill set you need to be a good snake head (think that is the accepted lexicon)

I have a question and I am absolutely NOT trying to be a wiseass...I just don't know the answer.

Why does someone persue the P. A. as opposed to M. D. ? Is it time? Economic reasons?

PA Program is 2-3 yrs with no residency afterwards unlike med school, so you get out and start making money a lot faster. You see a lot of older people in PA school because of that.

You also work under a doc in most clinics, so if you ever run into something you have no clue on, you can turn to the doc and say take a look at this. It's kind of nice to have a safety net like that.

For me, my school didn't require a bachelor's. If I had gone through the trouble of getting a bachelor's I'd have gone to vet school instead of PA school or Med school lol.

For a lot of people that is the case. At least 15 people in my class of 50 wanted to go to Pharmacy school and got turned down multiple times, so they came to PA school. 1 kid tried for 3 yrs to get into dental school.

I had three visits at a pain mgmt center last year and you should see the bill, its huge.

Congratulations Brendan!

We always need medical staff at Slug 7's and I can guarantee that your payment for this years tournament will come in 12oz. increments.

Nothing like being sutured up by somebody that is actually qualified...........

Congratulations! :clap:

My Sister is a PA. Nice to be able to pretty much pick who you want to work for. A few doctors treated her rudely so she told them to piss off and had another job before she got in her car. :thumbsup:
