Most medics are underpaid for what they do, esp carrying the 400 pounder down 4 flights of stairs.

the difference is a lot more money for the most part LOL An Er doc will graduate from medical school and will go to a 3 or 4 year residency (we only take guys from 4 year programs) whereas a PA graduates from PA school and more or les starts working. there ar eone year residencies in surgery ER, and CT surgery but IMO its not worth it. You get paid peanut sand are a scut monkey for a year.

So PA's know almost as much, if not as much as docs, but with less experience before getting paid. And probably less certs?
