I think there is a surgical PA here in the forum if you have any questions.

*cough cough*

Sooo many questions!
I have shadowed a PA in a med office so know a little bit (i think), but my guess is there's a big difference in roles depending on the environment (hospital vs...everywhere else)

What is your role in surgery (what kind of surgery can/do you do? As far as local vs general anesthetic...or does that not matter)
I was under the impression PAs first assist, but still not exactly sure what that means. (Doesn't make the first cut?)

As far as when not in surgery...do you see (evaluate) pts the same way your MD does?
How much oversight do you have vs other PAs that you've encountered?
I have more...not sure if I should PM though?

do they have alert/notifications for when the job opens? kinda sucks if they dont, but like you said keep a watchful eye and youll get it!

so, i went top the gym finally, i had some...fears because yanno, overweight people at the gym people stare right?
not at all, everyone just minds their own business and i actually surprised myself with how much i was able to do (running wise)
i do feel the effects of my salt laden BBQ and beer fest though...the bloat is real strong
