I'll give a thank you for her. I take NO CREDIT except that we moved to and were the poor people (and I dont even have a high skool diploma so forgive my grammar) in an old money neighborhood. Being surrounded by people with goals and professions (on our street were business owners, doctors, law firm owners and a senator) was the best thing we ever could have done. But SHE had to take advantage of it..
Everyone asks, and she doesnt like the question, why didnt she just become a Dr. She sure as hell is smart enough and has the mental toughness even though she appears "girly". I know she told me getting into PA program was harder to get into than Med school cause the class size was smaller. She actually had to wait a year even though he grades, experiences, work history, written letters of referrals from doctors was impeccable (those dont matter as much anymore since there are other factors at play in this crazy world now) But she said it would be 2 more years of school and 4 years of residency and as she put it "the dont make much for 4 years" Thought she said like $30-$40k. At that point she'd be like 34 and would probably like to work in her profession, make some $, pay off her relatively modest student loans before starting a family.

Congrats, Dad. Say what you want, but good parenting is the #1 predictor of a child's success (and happiness) in life. Congrats to her too, of course! Now that she's Miss Moneybags, I expect you to be getting weekly free beer deliveries?
Trying to enjoy life!

Good for her .... but for the overall medical costs for everyone? ... not so much.
I just spent about 4 hours in the ER yesterday early morning.... I’m sure sometimes they are busy ...but yesterday 4 people of maybe the 30 that were there were working. Kinda like firemen. But they are there when the poop hits the fan. Lotta jobs are like that. i agree. I hate hospitals and doctors (nothing personal). After my $10,000 BS Veritigo bill I will NEVER goto the hospital under my own power. THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter knows how I feel too PS calmopar, she's my new health care plan for the wife and I.

Some of the best docs that took care of me were Army PAs. Pretty much no nonsense, get you in and out all patched up. Sounds like a career that’s in her heart. PAs that specialize in heart clinic make bigbucks.

Well, "Doc" maybe you should go back to school and become a real Doctor or an RN and then you can work for free to help keep the costs down for the rest of us. If people aren't complaining that the lines at the ER are too long, then they are complaining that there is too much help.
