PAstudentCanada Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 My latest publication in a peer-reviewed journal described me as "physician's assistant under Dr. name of supervising physician" They asked me for a descriptor and told me they would put in what I wrote, yet someone there decided to ad an apostrophe S and change "at such-and-such clinic" to "under Dr. name of supervising physician." errrrrrrrrrrr. I emailed them to correct the apostrophe S but didn't bother mentioning the other part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAstudentCanada Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Link please, unless you want to remain incognito..... I do want to remain incognito with this username (although if someone really wanted to they could figure out who I am). I will private message you the link but the online PDF copy seems to have been corrected already! thankfully! Though the print edition is already out and thus tarnished for ever. haha.

discogenic Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 My latest publication in a peer-reviewed journal described me as "physician's assistant under Dr. name of supervising physician"They asked me for a descriptor and told me they would put in what I wrote, yet someone there decided to ad an apostrophe S and change "at such-and-such clinic" to "under Dr. name of supervising physician." errrrrrrrrrrr. I emailed them to correct the apostrophe S but didn't bother mentioning the other part. Speaking of this (the bolded), is it an insult to refer to a PA as "Dr. Smith's PA"? I hear patients say this quite a bit: "I had a follow-up with the orthopedic surgeon yesterday and I saw Joe, Dr. Smith's PA." I know the 's when it comes to physician assistant is a no-no, but how about "Dr. Smith's PA"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWR Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 you of course mean Dr. Smith's "PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE". That works for me. I don't see it as a possesion but rather a colleague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
