I often talk to my nurse practitioner wife about changing from an outpatient Internist, to a PA's job. If you adjust for weekends, call, responsibility, and malpractice, the Economics of it actually makes sense(You heard it here first, and I get the 60 Minutes spot on why I did it).<br/>Just think, scut monkey for an important neurosurgeon or a rolling-in-the-dough Interventional Cardiologist with all of his own gear? And if a patient busts my nuts I can say, "Let me get the Cardiologist to talk to you," while I finish the 99205 H&P. <br/>Sickening because at the present course, it is about 2 years away until the (adjusted) salary lines cross.
