boli Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 FYI NSFW language.... I enjoy watching ZDogg and think he raises some good points here. He doesn’t talk a lot about PAs specifically but with all the talk about OTP and doctorates for PAs I thought this was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkertdm Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 He mentioned pas but I don't think he actually knows what a pa can do. Maybe assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our inclusion in the rant, however, seems to indicate that PA's are a third aspect of care, when, in fact, we are medically trained and provide medical care. Maybe I heard it wrong.

I do not personally think docs are too worried about PAs as we are not looking to become independent, just OTP. Plus our education/training is much more rigorous than NP school and mimics medical school. The guy was kind of a dick by telling everyone to F*** yourself and etc so IMO he is no better than the anesthesiologist or was more politically correct has his mouth spewed some terrbile language that was offensive to myself, but the root of what he said was true IMO, just could have been said better.

That is your opinion, but when he is calling out another doc for doing the exact same thing he is doing during his rant then that guy is a dick.

His real name is Zubin Damania (MD hospitalist from Stanford originally) but he goes by ZdoggMD now online and makes satire/parody music videos to talk about issues in healthcare. He's pretty funny and generally I find myself agreeing with his views. If you don't want to hear his "rants", I recommend at least checking out his music videos or DocVader series as EMEDPA mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Check 2 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Thanks for the info. Never been on Facebook. Not my thing. Saw the Darth thing on YouTube, I think. Call me old or whatever, too much to do every day to do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or SnapChat. My kids can’t do Facebook - house rule, but I couldn’t win on Snapchat. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
