All right Bells jingle Bells walking in a winter wonderland I don't Physicians assistant Physicians assistant PA Something assistant Pediatrician physician Physicians, I was gonna say physicist assistant. Yeah, I knew that was you were close. I heard you coming out of your mouth I knew his face, but I guess Yes Basically they can do I would assume what a doctor can do you know pretty much Hmm, I'm not even sure I'm not very educated in the medical field. Um, I Mean would they be like I? Don't know I guess someone who helps the doctor I don't know. Okay, so like what kind of help do you think? Um, I would probably think more like keeping up with like records and things like that Just kind of being like the smaller things They take the place in maybe an examination Determining perhaps what is wrong with the patient or how they might help them. I don't know how far they go in treating Okay, I do think physicians assistant can prescribe medication If they need help perhaps they call in the attending physician They have their license by the board of medicine They are permitted to depending on their licensure do some They do diagnostics. They do initial patient screening. They take histories and physicals they Do some basic order basic tests love work some radiology Then they can prescribe certain levels of stuff Basically Okay So they act in a role of like a Medical provider like they work under a doctor okay a medical doctor or a DO or some specialty doctor, okay and they would Just like doctor. They would assess you and treat you and diagnose and educate and do everything What I've been told is they basically do the same thing as a doctor that they're able to do a lot of like the exams and Just almost as knowledgeable as Certain procedures that allow I'm not sure if they can prescribe medicines and I'm sure they can give IVs if there are Certain jobs in the medical field that they are allowed to do Okay, in between a nurse practitioner and position Maybe they just mainly help the doctor with whatever they need done maybe they take your records, okay when you go in on the computer If I think yes, what they do See this is bad. I should know this my uncle is a head pediatrician But he or positions assistants I guess Help out the positions fill prescriptions Run tests on the patients See patients do everything that the physician does just as a sight or on the side You would expect the doctor Oh, I spend more time Just give it 40 Out of a feeling it's not a very high one. I will guess Okay, all right, what if I told you they made on average six figures, I know I know all right That salary range is somewhere between You blundered into somebody Me and across the country so many different but I would say I'm average private 40 to 50 Well doctors probably make over a hundred so I would say they probably make like 60 or 70 Yeah, it depends on where you're at that on average Okay, I would imagine 70,000 Okay, you would say hey, go ahead and be a I don't know maybe 19 to 23 Wow 75 okay, what if I told you on average I'd say wow, I'd say where do I start okay? Yeah Alright, what if I told you that on average be a snake six fingers. Oh, really? Yes You're happy Guys so that was it my little excursion here in the store trying to figure out if people really knew what a PA was and what they Did I was really really surprised. I can't I'm like of all the luck I found a medical malpractice lawyer. Could you believe that he knew exactly what he is where he knew what they did? But he still didn't know exactly how much our scope of practice has evolved So that was really cool. Just to let him know that actually we can prescribe schedule two through five drugs and Our scope of practice is just so much larger than what it used to be when he first started medical malpractice Some years ago. So that was really cool And it was very cool just to give some people a little bit more insight on what a PA really can do and Just understanding that yes We are named physician assistants But we do more than just assist the physician and a lot of the people that you see in the ER or the urgent care or your family Practice are usually the PA. So that was really really exciting I was so happy and then I really I've liked the fact that I talked to that family and she kind of said yeah Well, you know my daughter is interested in the medical field. So hopefully we're getting a new PA in the ranks in a couple Years so super excited about that share this video if you guys haven't already done so and then like it If you have any comments on what you might want me to do next just leave that in the comment section below And thank you guys so much for watching.
