In reply to the discussion: Friday Night Red Wine Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]Aristus
(66,307 posts)36. I'm a Physician Assistant, providing medical care in a clinic for our homeless community.
We get some mainstream patients sometimes; spillover from our mainstream clinic a couple of blocks away.
Our clinic system is a private not-for-profit, but most of the people in upper administration get pretty tasty salaries. They're always pushing us to see more, more, more patients.
I'm not a fan of large numbers of patient encounters. The more patients on the schedule, the less time I have to spend with each one. That's not how to do good quality clinical medicine.
