thinkertdm Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So, aside from the grammatical error, was the PA portrayed as an independent decision making member of a health care team? A leader of said team? Someone who has the training, skills, and knowledge who could handle the medical issue? I don't care what I get called, because I'm not going to quibble over the pronounciation, I'm going to discuss treatment options intelligently with them. I'm going to astound them with my knowledge and patient skills. I understand the 's denotes ownership blah blah blah, but after patients see me, they realize (most of them) that I'm the one they want to come back to, and they couldnt give a damn about the 's either. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality Check 2 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I guess there is no such thing as editing or fact checking anything anymore. Trying not to grow immune or indifferent. How do we have to spend so much time explaining and defending our profession while we do so much good? Deep Sigh Send the movie an email. I did it to the TV show ER years ago and got a signed letter back from the director apologizing for bad info. Keep on swimming, keep on swimming.......

PAMEDIC Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 But the profession did officially start with the 's. In fact, in many places, laws, and documents, the 's is still in place. I'm not a fan of it, but this is a such a silly thing to glom on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyNichiavelli Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Idk, I just think it's cool to see this profession represented on such a highly-acclaimed movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so. Cancer Treatment Centers of America has a commercial out with a PA in it....she just sits there and says nothing, but her name and title are shown.

lkth487 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Cancer centers of America engage in some shady practices. I don't think anyone should want to be associated with it haha. I watched Logan Light, and I think the physician associate was displayed in a very positive light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
