dfw6er Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah, it totally makes sense. The situation in NY is just insane, and it's only going to get worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Check 2 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 An unfortunate time but PAs are ready to shine - always have been. Sad that this is what it takes to prove ourselves as worthy independent practitioners. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGoLong Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It’s times like this when people realize that their government can sometimes be the only force strong enough to solve a problem.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Dallas Co judge looking for volunteers. Sent tweet saying that he and the governor are missing out on the highest trained medical providers short of physicians and yet not a word has been uttered about us. State’s website says that “physician’s assistants” can volunteer. If you can’t get the name right then you probably can’t utilize me correctly either.

jmj11 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There will be lasting ramifications from this national crisis just like 9/11 led to the TSA (and unfortunately the Iraqi war). I hope we capitalize on this for lasting changes to improve health care and the PA role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPA28 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Be wary of what you wish for The next declaration for New York will be that foreign medical grads who can't get into a US residency program can work as a PA instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More government is the answer? As big or as progressive as say, North Dakota? Cuomo gets praise (right on, I’m glad he signed that) meanwhile other leaders doing similar are not getting any praise, in fact, some get downright lambasted... I’m just confused by that.

I don't care. ANYTHING that moves this field out of the ditch I will support. Let God and time separate the wheat from the chaff medically speaking going forward. I will put my money on PA's, hopefully soon to be MCP's (Medical Care Practitioners), anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surgblumm Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I applaud Governor Cuomo and the language of this bill which protects PAs from litigation and utilizes them appropriately. A study needs to be done on the effectiveness of PAs who have had their retrictions removed after this crisis is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, an unfortunate circumstance given the dire situation, but hopefully can cast light on the effectiveness of PAs in the states that are being allowed to practice autonomously and help push the field towards a better direction!

PAinPenna Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Pennsylvania PA changes so far - PAs don’t need charts signed by DOs (nothing from the allopathic board yet ) But NPs are now allowed to practice outside of their specialty Edited March 29, 2020 by PAinPenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The Texas Academy petitioned the governor to allow physicians to supervise more PAs. The idea of eliminating supervision, it seems, never crossed their minds. I just want to scream some days..... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
