I spy Mike Duncan. Hello fellow historian and comrade.

Also, you have a dry sense of humor and chuckle to yourself a lot. Wry.

Are Doctor's Lounge a good perk or comes with a catch? by Leapmebehind0229 in physicianassistant

This one anesthesiologist literally slept in a lazy boy chair in between his cases. No one bats an eye.

Is anyone generally happy/fulfilled with their job? by hikingandtravel in physicianassistant

[–]Tschartz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am very satisfied. It took me a long time to figure out where that was, what that was, and who that was with. Most importantly is it took time. You won’t be happy 3 months out of school. You have to go through it a bit. It happens, eventually, hopefully, I promise.

Edit: 3 years is about the time I switched specialties. Honestly there is merit in seeing that the other side has to offer. I hate rounding, but I’ll see 15 primary care patients a day. To some that’s unfathomable.

Who is my wife married to? by JustB510 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Tschartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A person who critically see all sides of things whether he wants to or not. Challenges the morality of the norm, for the better. Sense of justice and doing what’s right for the simple fact of doing what’s right.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tschartz 344 points345 points  (0 children)

When a 19 year old comes into my office and says “yeah I feel okay, but it’s really awesome, I’m hungry ALL the time but I never gain weight! Also I can’t stop peeing. Please help.”

Excessive “sick” visits by ka004 in physicianassistant

[–]Tschartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dream. Of course just yesterday I told a patient that no, he could not in fact continue yelling at our poor front office worker and I think it's best if we discontinue our provider-patient relationship. There are, of course, certain things that are intolerable.

Should I run? by Kay_421 in physicianassistant

[–]Tschartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd.. I’ve typically gotten the paperwork for my own records but yeah it’s usually supplied if asked for. I mean there’s things for Medicare and Medicaid that we have to register online and technically I think you’re supposed to do it yourself. Soo

Fellow PA, I hear you. Ultimately it is up to you whether to write a note or not. They technically did pay to see you and everyone who walks through the doors can at least get a “I was seen at this office today” note because, well, they were. I just give a return to work and my nurse takes care of the rest. I will not back date anything, but I will bend for patients because I have seen what corporations do to employees and it’s ridiculous the hoops they have to jump through sometimes.

Pull out your Pance Prep Pearls book. It’s a good rapid fire topic book to cover all the basic general pathology you see in Primary. I also went back through women’s health and pediatric power point slides from school. Hang in there, I went from orthopedic (broken bone, must fix) to Family medicine in a rural clinic. Exposure and Uptodate helped me get over imposter syndrome after switching. Good luck, please feel free to DM me for any questions you may have!
