@geppetto I read your comment about only seeing a PA when you go to the doctor. They, and nurse practitioners, are the way of the future. I was at first skeptical when i went to see the neurologist and saw a PA instead. This was my broken neck we were talking about and I wanted to see a doctor. The PA was excellent and my fears were erased. The majority of them are excellent and can easily see patients. That is not to say that I’m dismissing your anxiety. Far from it! I totally understand.
