I’ve been treated by PAs and/or NPs on and off over the years and have always been treated great. In fact, I’ve actually found that I’ve gotten BETTER care from a PA or a NP than from an MD or DO. I don’t know why, maybe it’s something I imagined, or maybe it’s because they don’t get the respect they deserve from the medical community and they have to try harder to prove themselves. If that’s the case, it really sucks for them.

Physician assistants and Nurse Practitioners are essential in the medical field and I for one am glad they are around. My sub doctor is my PCP and has a PA that he works with, so therefore I work with him, too. I have no issues with whom I deal with – either the DO or the PA….makes no difference to me. I treat them equally and according to how they treat me.

Glad you are around nusum.
