Hi,
Thank you for this question. I am happy to answer! I have been a PA for over 30 years. As you can imagine , the profession has drastically changed and grown over this time. The Physician Assistant really has an important role as a health care provider. We can diagnose, write prescriptions with our own DEA license, perform minor surgeries, procedures and formulate and perform much the same treatment regimens as physicians do. By law, we must have a supervising physician who is available for consult if needed (not necessarily on site). a perfect role , for example, is in the ER the PA could be suturing lacerations which would free the physician for perhaps more serious or complicated cases. Many PAs are trained in multi-specialties which allows us to work, thrive and excel in pretty much any field of medicine.
Hope this helps.

Hi!

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon to have different readings. But they should not be considerably different. Definitely within 1 degree. Make sure you are using in same location on the body. That can make a difference. Ultimately, if they are close, stick with one so you are able to at least see if temperature is going up or down.
Hope that helps.
