Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 23, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2015 silly questions but pretty accurate: Emergency/TraumaYou love the element of surprise! You never know what will come rolling through the doors next. You look forward to seeing it all; from gun shot wounds to birthing babies. You like the idea of working 3-4 shifts a week and enjoying the rest of your time relaxing and spending it how you see fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z PA-C Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Internal Medicine You are very meticulous and love having a set schedule. You love the idea of solving puzzles. Chaos doesn't interest you. At all. You enjoy challenging yourself and your knowledge base. And you look forward to building close relationships with your patients for years to come. Fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleu Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Amazing. Silly questions, but accurate for me! Mine said Orthopedic Surgery. Once I am out of school, I am planning on either Family Medicine or Ortho (I have a physical therapy background) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelseff Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Monday-Friday 9-5 is perfect for you! You look forward to building life-long relationships with your patients and caring for the whole family. You are basically a jack-of-all-trades in that there is nothing you can't handle. You like the idea of looking out for those you care about by referring your patients to the best specialists in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hmm... Anyone know who runs that site? I explored a bit more and in the "what is a PA?" section, the first sentence reads: " A Physician Assistant (PA) is a licensed and certified medical professional that works with doctors, nurses, and other medical staff to diagnose and treat patients. " umm... Hmm I don't work with Doctors, nurses and other medical staff TO diagnose and treat patients. If you were to look up" what is a doctor?" or "what is a NP?" what would it say. Well I Googled just that and for physicians it reads " a person qualified to practice medicine." for NP "a nurse who is qualified to treat certain medical conditions without the direct supervision of a doctor." see the difference I Googled what is a physician Assistant and the first hit is AAPA: " A physician assistant (or PA) is a nationally certified and state-licensed medical professional. PAs practice medicine on healthcare teams with physicians and other providers." MY point... Why do we always have to mention we have to work with someone else? You guys see the difference? Or am I just too grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelseff Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I wonder why he worded it that way. But I guess we have been programmed to state what we are in context to other professions. I don't see why we always have to qualify who we are by adding "we work WITH thus and such..." I dunno maybe it has been a long day. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
