  1. I believe the sedation of the benzo’s unregulated anxiety. Then it is either take more benzo to control anxiety or gave more anxiety. Seen so many people on high dose benzo’s that have either never tried an ssri or only one ssri. Sad really.
  2. Have seen so many people get on benzo’s then their anxiety worsens.
  3. Just saw an interesting post about rather NCCPA used AI to write the questions this 1/4. Would explain a lot.
  4. I see zero. Zilch. Nada. Benefit to recert to clinical ability. what it is is a money grab. 16000 PA recert yearly $350/each 5.6 million a year. dont think recertifications is anything but a money grab.
  5. with a 10 year recert I only have one time left to test.... thank goodness
  6. Oh man that is gonna just wreck an entire group if 20 something males that swear the only thing that works for their anxiety is smoking a ton o weed.
  7. A few questions I flatly disagreed with. Cookie cutter medicine with out enough clinical info that really make decision. and stop with the childhood illness crap. I don’t do peds! (I feel for all the specialty PA’s forced to take a primary care test!)
  8. I would disagree. student adds 30-60 min a day onto my work day (have been doing it for almost 20 yrs on and off). Then ongoing discussions, emails, reviewing their write ups all take time. I am in pcp medicine and usually by day 3 they are seeing patients alone. If I just had them follow it would not slow me down. then there is the 1 additional write up ask for. And reviewing labs and findings with them……. All takes time for me.
  9. see your PCP explain the mental health toll this is taking on you and ask for a note to be taken out of work
  10. sorry disagree. Why work for free? that is what you are doing....
  11. Reviving thread. just finished this quarter. either I am getting dumber (possible) or these Q’s are getting a bit crazy. also enough with the childhood illness!! I have not seen a kiddo in like 2 decades!!!! we gotta get am IM/Geri board.
