[quote=Anonymous]It should be disclosed to the patient. I had a PA read an xray in the ER, he had a white coat on and never said his title - he missed a fracture on the xray (which was obvious when the subsequent DR who looked at it showed it to me). The visit cost the same as though I'd seen a Dr and almost caused severe harm had a subsequent DR's review of the xray a few days later identified the mistake. Also had a derm who when you called to see a DR would schedule you with a PA and you didn't find out unless you looked up their website to see the training for the last name of the appt you were given. If you go to a law firm there may be many things a paralegal can do well but that doesn't mean you don't need a lawyer sometimes. Same for this - the training is not the same and it should be disclosed to the patient up front and be up to the patient[/quote]
