One of the reasons I am so furious about the whatabouttery peddled by these PA shitehawks is that “Doctors make mistakes too” is not some kind of Gotcha.
Motherfucker, poor clinical decision making and practice on the part of a GP and an orthopaedic surgeon contributed to my
This is what gets me. The utter, irredeemable mendacity of these people.

PAs have a relevant first degree before their PA training. So a minimum of 5 yrs education & training. All illness is a medical issue but not all medical issues need a Dr. BMA are a union & don’t want anyone to undermine their membership & Drs too make mistakes.
disability. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be diagnosed and treated by doctors. It’s the opposite.
I want doctors to have better access to training, a more stable home life in early career so an end to pointless rotation and pay commensurate to their societal value.
@comradesanchez
Oooo big energy from the temporarily-abled guy over here. Strange idea of liberation a cop standing by a “you have to be THIS healthy to ride” sign but keep telling us who’s pretty enough for the selfies, we promise to be quiet until you call out our number.
I don’t want anything to do with people who only ever mention patient safety in the context of effectively saying “fuck patients, doctors make mistakes too” ignoring that PAs have a Never Ever rate *ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE* higher than actual doctors.
Ok, this is flat-out illegal.
Not “inconsonant with best practices” not a “grey area”.
Doctors are expected to put their careers on the line writing pseudo-prescriptions for AAs.
Enough is enough.
Legal challenges now
@TheBMA
Is it so hard to understand this?
Regulation is not a magic wand that turns a 2-year 95% pass rate unaccredited unaudited certificate into a medical degree, nor does it allow PAs to do the work of doctors safely.
@InfoPars
As a patient and carer I have every confidence in the professionalism and integrity of pharmacists, paramedics and nurses.
All of whom have passed audited and accredited courses and are held to agreed standards by their regulatory bodies and peers.
In theatre one we have a 14 year old appendectomy undergoing laryngospasm
In theatre two 60 year old Cholecystectomy suspected anaphylaxis
In theatre three 9 year old tonsillectomy hypovolemic
Are anaesthetists taught to be in three places “in seconds”?
"I will be immediately available"
RCoA define "immediate supervision" as "supervisee is working directly with a supervisor who is actually with the individual or can be present within seconds"
If this doesn't happen in practice (inefficient) then is it even legal? Liability ⬆️
One of the most disquieting thing for me as a patient and carer about the whole PA fiasco is finding out just how little of a shit many consultants give about their (NHS) patients.
Quite terrifying actually.

Tell me it’s not a cult: even in something so central as patient safety they can only think of having some kind of parity with doctors “we make mistakes and so do doctors so we’re kind of the same”.

Motherfucker, your mistakes come from missing context from which to realise that a presentation is way above your fucking pay-grade, one that an unqualified layman such as myself would ask someone knowledgeable about.
Like a doctor.
Oh, and there are *far worse* examples including a disgusting insult of an elderly man with tardive dyskinesia being brushed off because “he won’t care he’s deaf anyway”.
PAs are doing something worse than turning the clock back on these advances; they put unqualified, unsupervised, wholly inexperienced people in the role of doctor-equivalent independent practitioners that their complete lack of clinical awareness and utter void of ethical sense

What a terrible example of ignorantia voluntariam. The laws of electrostatics and fluid dynamics are no different in the lab than “the real world”, and general relativity tells us space is continuous on a macroscopic level. Whatever you’re getting for this, I hope it’s worth it.

Not to mention the moral injury of knowing that if you don’t oversee every patient interaction you are providing substandard care that may actively be harmful.
PAs can only function under active supervision, but that removes their raison d’etre in the first place.
