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?

I'm home. It was a very long night and at no point did it slow down. My job would kick ass if my department was completely wiped clean.

And someone please remind me to stop bending over backwards for beautiful girls. It only adds more work for me. No matter how many times I tell them I'm not a fucking doctor, they keep coming back to me with questions and shit that I'm not qualified to answer.

I don't know. We had a fuckton of CHF and COPD patients, more than a handful of sickle cell crisis types, and just an insane amount of truly sick people. I don't think I registered a single person who could have easily waited a day or two and gone to their primary care doctor. It was just a fucking horrendously packed night.

Corey my cholesterol tripled reading that second link but it looks damn good.

What a difference a few hrs makes. i just got up to the site and got settled in and am being praised and appreciated for the work were doing here, plus i was in the right place/right time on new years eve for an injury that I was able to fix here and avoid an ER trip and posible a recordable/lost work time injury.

This being appreciated thing is actualy kinda cool

I'm trying to talk Tracy (G-Rex) into making it with cheddar and some beef and going with a pseudo bacon cheeseburger roll/log. And if I had my druthers, deep fry that sunovabitch.

I know I'm late to the food discussion, but there are two things I learned recently:

1. Do not look at this site while hungry.

2. Some forms of genius are criminally under-appreciated.
