4. Is it National Some Specific Color Day?

Or will any color do? I'm trying to figure out what to wear to work...

[In_The_Wind]

8. Any color will do.

Be kind to me tonight. I posted this thread half an hour before I left for work. I was supposed to be done by 10AM and back home by 1PM. I just walked in the door five minutes ago. Today was a clusterfuck that worked out well for me.

By the way ... what color did you wear?

[magical thyme]

23. same old same old

plum top, black slacks, plum socks, sneakers.

I just got home from work myself about 20 minutes ago. Fed the dogs, gave the birds their treats and tucked them in, fed the pony. Now I'm eating my sorrel soup that I forgot I'd brought to work.

6. Celebrating our Medical Assistants!

Including Aristus who is "Smart and Cool" (guess he gets two days in one!)

[Aristus]

14. That's very nice, femmocrat.

But I'm a Physician Assistant, not a Medical Assistant. Not anymore, anyway. I was an MA from 2002-2010, when I graduated from PA School.

But thank you...

[femmocrat]

18. Ooops. Thanks for the correction!

I knew you were a PA, but didn't realize the differences. (I thought MA just kind of included everyone!)

A retroactive LOL

21. Medical Assistants are allied health personnel. They do a lot of the hands-on stuff in clinical

medicine. Things like immunizations, blood draws, rooming patients, taking vital signs, calling hospitals and prior providers for records, etc.

Physician Assistants are medical providers, just like doctors and ARNP's. We are licensed to practice clinical medicine, and do so in just about every sphere of medicine. Although we are nominally under the supervision of an MD (unlike ARNP's who are legally allowed to practice independently), we have a lot of autonomy in actual practice. I see my supervising physician 2-3 times a month. He's usually at another clinic.

15. If anyone deserves it ...

it's Aristus for sure.

[Aristus]

19. Aw...

[pinboy3niner]

25. +1

It's often a thankless job, but some of the best "docs" I ever had at the VA were PAs.
