jmj11 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Now I found this surprising and encouraging. I'm analyzing data. One question ask, "Before being seen (at our clinic) . . . how comfortable were you in seeing a Physician Assistant/Physician Associate as a headache specialist?" The questionnaire has a scale of 1-5 with 5 being extremely comfortable. Out of 100 responders, 92 marked "5" and 2 more marked "4." This has nothing to do with me. This was asking the question about how they felt before they met us. I would have guessed it would have been much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmj11 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Oh, I wasn't looking for praise. This last comment was simply I was surprised how open, at least in our area, patients are to seeing a PA. It surprised me. I thought 50% would have reservations. I don't know what the national average is. I always thought we should do good, nation wide studies on patient perceptions of seeing PAs and how that changed after actually seeing them. I was hoping, in my study, to show a lot of movement from before seeing the PA to after. However, if they start out with an extremely positive view of PAs, it is hard to move them much through a positive experience. I had one survey that had a decreased view of PAs after seeing me. Based on how she answered other questions (and her write in comments) I know who it was. It was a patient who came to see me to get more of her 120 Vicodin per month because her PCP was cutting her off. I told her that I would give her enough to taper her down while working on getting her better. She said like hell I would. But that is the risk of random surveys.
