She had worked as a PCT (Patient Care Technician), basically a gopher, at a local hospital will getting her bachelors. They knew she was pursuing a PA (Physician Assistant) degree so let he "help" in the ER doing chest compression on busted up bodies and shadowing other PA's. She would tell me stories of a "pretty 20 something girl that she was talking to when she came in all tore up from a car accident but didnt make it. I'm going to bed". Or "dad a guy your age came in from a motorcycle accident. He was wide awake. We were talking. His leg was so tore up they couldnt stop the bleeding and he died". I mean SHEESH. She was 20. I couldn't stomach that at 57.

So now shes back in the ER as a PA. She started Tuesday making GREAT $ but earned it. I couldn't have done what she has either. No wonder I had a $10,000 ER bill last fall when I went in for Vertigo and they tested me for everything but pregnancy!
