Hell, I generally prefer an MD to a PA...
- pmiller2 6y agoI think “supplant” was an autocorrect typo for “supplement.”
- mech422 6y agoahh... that could be
- alistairSH 6y agolol. Yup. Autocorrect - either my brain or my Mac, not sure which. Supplement, not supplant. Like PAs, but on the path to being fully qualified MDs.
- alistairSH 6y agoCurious... did you have a bad experience with a PA (or NP)? I haven't seen an MD for family medicine stuff (physicals, flu, travel inoculations, etc) in at least a decade. The PAs are easier to schedule and for those tasks, seem more than competent. With specialists, it's been 50-50. Check-ups have been with PAs (or NPs), with intervention by the MD when required. Same for my wife.
