our views on this are very close. When I first started with Kaiser in 2002, my PC had a PA working with him who took the overload. I think most PA's and RN's have been taught to be totally subservient to MD's. You may remember that only 40 years ago an RN was not allowed to use a stethoscope. Instead, she had an cheaper looking device that did exactly the same thing but was called a "Nurse Scope." I noticed on my last visit to Kaiser that the my PC's assistant had a similar device. One form of slavery still practiced in this country is the Dental Tech business. Dental Techs are not allowed to clean teeth on their own. they must work for a Dentist who gets the bulk of their earnings. In a non-slave environment, these techs would operate like barber shops, referring patients to Dentists. More and better Dentistry would be practiced this way. But "noooooo.'
