I can't find the thread on that Cohen creep, so I'll put thiso here. He has no clue what he is talking about when he compares the pay and responsibilty of a regional fo with a medical assistant. Ok our pay is similar to a medical assistant but not our responsibilty. A medical assistant takes blood pressure and weighs a patient, changes bed clothes, and wipes butts. They answer to a nurse who answers to a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant and then to -a doctor. No where closes to us! A physicians assistant is like a doctor; does evals, writes perscriptions, does everything a dr does but has to have a doctor sign it off at the end of the day. Sound familiar? The only difference....they start out at $60k a year and average 80 to 100. And if they specialize they could be upwards of $120 a year.
So yes cohen's an idiot.
