I was really looking forward to watching this film, so much so, that I was willing to try to arrange for a private showing at a local theater and volunteer my time to show it, before it became available to watch on-line.
I am a board certified Physician Assistant and have been practicing medicine for over 23 years. I currently work in a very busy emergency department in Los Angeles. I am an integral part of the team on the front lines, and the mid-level providers (PAs and Nurse Practitioners) see just as many patients as the doctors. We may not see the sickest, but we are the ones in triage, fast track, and walking out into the waiting room (as was mentioned in this film) to move patients along and sometimes get them taken care of before they have to wait another 3 hours to get into the main emergency room. We also see patients in the main emergency department, keeping the flow going, and sometimes assisting the docs on more complicated cases.
I was so offended by the remark made by one of the doctors in the film, about mid-level providers, that I almost stopped watching it, but luckily it was at the end. Do your homework before commenting on us being lesser than you, because we aren't. PAs and NPs have been around for a long time and are highly trained, well educated medical providers who can be your biggest asset.
I agree with everything that was portrayed regarding the bureaucratic nightmare that we deal with on a daily basis, but my other piece of advise to the doctors on this film is to drop the ego a little bit. Yes we do amazing work, but don't let it go to your head so much.
