Thanks, SAM, and keep up the good work here at FR, Flagman would have wanted that.

Warren Zevon's (another RIP brother) "The Envoy" is cool to listen to...

I must be getting old! Warren Zevon doesn't ring any bells for me.

A member of the military consuming alcohol!! I am SHOCKED, and not a little disappointed.
In my day all we drank was coke, eat moms apple pie and dream about the girl we left behind.


That's my story and I'm stickin with it!

Our Physician Assistant / Associate profession owes its formation to a physician in NC who found that he was able to train a young man who worked in his office to do many of the less complex tasks that he performed as a physician. Several NC physicians expanded on this idea. They proposed utilizing the same fast track model that prepared physicians for deployment in World War II.

Duke University felt that this new physician assistant concept could help alleviate the increasing shortage of primary care physicians in rural areas. The nursing profession, who had no interest in developing this idea, turned them down. They decided then that an even better candidate would be corpsmen or medics who were being used in the Viet Nam war. Duke proved that they were able to successfully train these individuals using the WW II fast track model and the PA profession was born.

Morning Phil Dragoo.

Thanks for the Reagan picture and kind words. What a way to wake up this morning!

I wonder what reason the Nurses rejected the PA program.

Thanks for the Doc Perez and Dustoff link.

Just, sometimes it's hard to remember when there's all this icy goo covering the land.
