The boys' course load is demanding at PA High School.

PA school, day 16. Spending my weekend studying for pharm and fun med ✌🏻

Narrator: He was, in fact, not fucking kidding.

Today was actor scenario day. We are timed and have an actor-patient to interview. I get a history, so a review of systems, a physical exam, and then write an HPI and answer some questions. We are filmed and have a time limit. I swear my common sense goes out the window under this pressure. I am doing better, but pretty sure I misdiagnosed my patient today, but I think I got it in the differential diagnosis, so we would have saved him in the end. I am learning so much, and my brain can uptake info faster than ever, not bad for 46! Sometimes I feel like I know nothing and sometimes I know even less than that 😂 . PA school is a humbling experience, not to mention stressful. Some days I wish I wouldn’t have followed this dream if I’m being honest, but I know this is something I’ve wanted to do most of my adult life, something I’ve been called to do. Dreams don’t come easy. . . . . . #paschool #palife #whitecoat #physicianassistantstudent #nontraditionalstudent #silverfox

@pointeshoestostethoRegrann from @pointeshoestostethoscopes - Surgery has me spending some more quality time with my buddy Netter! The first week of surgery was very interesting. I was on colorectal service, so I got to scrub in on lots of bowel resections. But also got to sneak into a few vascular cases too! The hours are incredibly long and my body is sore everyday! But thanks to Netter I’m getting through the pimping part! 💉Pro Tip💉 When preparing to scrub in on a surgery it is always good to know the blood and nerve supply to that area! Knowing the layer that are being cut through is also very helpful! Familiarize yourself with the anatomy of the area that will be operated on, as the majority of the pimping questions come from that. Also good to research the disease pathology and presentation so you better understand what is going on.😊 PS: my head is so much smaller than the Netter skull so it looks a little funny haha! #netter #anatomy #humanbody #surgery #surgeryrotation #clinicalyear #rotscopes - Surgery has me spending some more quality time with my buddy Netter!

When a PA lacks a #Girlboss for too long, he may require therapy. Fortunately, therapists are well versed in handling these cases.
