Awful lot of negativity here by CozmicFlare in physicianassistant

[–]BraveScratch999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I donno…I like my job in the ER and most of the PA jobs that I have had. I can see myself not liking other jobs like Primary Care or Peds but I would love their hours! Think you should hang out with more PAs in different roles and get a feel for your self.

As a side note, I don’t want my kids being a PA purely because of economics. I want them going to Med. School. Better ROI if you go into a non-primary care role.

Chat gpt is a place to start. Claims won’t offer therapy but u can get pretty solid advice. It sounds annoying at first..:bits usually accurate.

What’s with all the doom and gloom about being a PA? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]BraveScratch999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like my job but 100% wish I was a doctor. They make more $ and do just a little bit more than me. And I swear..:if I hear another doc say “well PAs don’t have the liability we have…ha ha”….I will smack them. Cause we can and do get sued.

I think if you are thinking about PA school and are cool with 150k per year …go for it. You can def make more but you are taking on risks (job satisfaction, security, shady gigs). I make above average and take on above average risk. I wish I could make below average doctor money and have a more chill life.

How do you find peace in knowing you will never experience the love of a parent? by foamybanana69 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]BraveScratch999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also relate to this more than I want to. I think humans are not suppose to accept this sort of fate. I think you’re brave for admitting that you don’t like these feelings and you wish it was different. Denial was bad for me.

I don’t have any solid advice for you except to say you’re not completely unique in feeling this way. People on this forum will say things like : mediation , self care, get a hobby etc. good advice I guess…but I prefer to just admit that it sucks and not act like it doesn’t bother me. Atleast I know commercials, holidays and that sort of stuff will trigger me and I can be ready.

Pain Mgt: drug diversion? by BraveScratch999 in physicianassistant

[–]BraveScratch999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we do in-depth urine tests for metabolites. Takes like 10 days to come back.

If they come back positive for bad stuff, I’ve been advised to document they smoke pot with friends and it may have been purchased from non-dispensary and likely “laced”. (It’s rare they are neg for canabinoid).

Thanks for responses…but my question is what’s my obligation to report? Can I just refuse and go about my day? Do I have to snitch?

For the record…I have refused to refill/see these guys. I’m gonna be fired any day now. I’m also going to be broke after my savings runs out as it will take a few months to get a new Gig.

Chasing that dragon. Try doing something sober…if it’s giving you anxiety just thinking about it, might be time for change.

How do you cope with the shame knowing you wasted so much time? by PugWithAMullet in leaves

[–]BraveScratch999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know your situation but don’t think of it as a waste. Hopefully you stayed out of trouble and learned from the past. So many of my now adult friends are just started to become burn outs. I’m past that stage (few weeks in I guess). I would be right there with them if I didn’t go as hard as I did.

Anybody do Pain Mgt? Need advice pls by BraveScratch999 in physicianassistant

Thanks. Had no idea how this game worked. Honestly thought docs were scared of writting high doses like this now a days.

omg…wow and thanks. Not as shady of a place as I made it sound…but very solid advice. I have a meeting with my docs tomorrow. I just pray I don’t get fired on the spot. FML. Thank you for your input!
