Another crock. PA’s are part of slippery slope toward to higher death rates and patient misery ala politicans with high end specialist care. Don’t be a sap. Demand care and thrive.

It means ” first contact” medicine. NP’s/PA’s can do a lot, especially algorithmic medicine. That covers the bulk of the work. The difference an MD makes is in knowing when the patient does not fit in the algorithm. That is the real value of MD’s.

You can receive any two of the above. For example, you want to see a real doctor and you want him or her to see you today , well it will cost you ( concierge medicine), etc.
