While sitting in the stands of an athletic arena next too a high end specialist they told me with a low moral body english what is going on; They said, with low moral, Medicine sucks, Incoming PA's are getting paid more than MD's ( china's barefoot Dr's anyone ) and all we do is paperwork. I asked is this paperwork in the last 6 years? Yes... I didn't asked who they voted for and or why.....
This is all anecdotal, but I wonder how many more MD's feel the same way...
Incoming PA’s are getting paid more than MD’s ( china’s barefoot Dr’s anyone )
You got it! The PA program was created by the military to make use of Viet Nam era medics who acquired incredible medical training via the battle field and real life experience.
That program is now open to high school grads with no medical experience. Indeed, welcome to China’s barefoot Doctors. Same level of care under socialism in Europe.
