  • What is the role of a physicians assistant?

    Physician assistants (PAs) hold advanced degrees (masters or doctorate degrees) and they hold an important place in the healthcare system. The PA profession provides some of the best opportunities available for healthcare professionals expanding their scope of practice, enjoying greater autonomy, taking on more responsibility, and, of course, earning pretty good salaries. Physician assistants diagnose illnesses and injuries, perform examinations and provide treatment plans, and routinely do so without any direct supervision from a physician. The role of the physician assistant is largely to perform services within the scope of their training and legal authority that might otherwise be performed by a physician. PAs prescribe medications and work in doctors’ offices, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other settings. They also work for or manage stand-alone PA-led clinics, and can own their own practice in collaboration with a physician. Getting into PA school is very competitive and it requires a bachelors degree with specific undergraduate courses prerequisites and over 2,000 hours of healthcare experience. I hope your son pursues his dream of becoming a PA. I have been a PA for over 20 years and truly love what I do! I get to help people everyday, making it a very rewarding career! READ MORE

  • When does a fever become dangerous?

    Most children do not get hospitalized for a fever, but for the illnesses that cause the fevers. It is the job of the pediatrician or physician to find out what exactly is causing the fevers and treat the cause. Most fevers in children are due to viral or bacterial infections. If your nephew is under 3 years of age, he should be evaluated by his pediatrician whenever he gets a fever since it could be a sign of a viral or bacterial infection. If the child is 3 years or older, he can be taken to the pediatric ER if the child's temperature is over 102 degrees for two or more days. Parents should also seek emergency care if the fever is accompanied by any of these symptoms: abdominal pain, nausea & vomiting, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. READ MORE
