Full time “utility player.” I started out working urgent care; dx, ordering images, reading images such as xrays, cat scan and tx appropriately. My daily patient load was about 20-40 with a variety of illnesses. I covered ER when needed and followed/treated patients on floor including discharging and transferring as needed for higher level of care. After about a year, patients that were seen in walk in clinic asked to establish with me. I then started becoming more of Family Practitioner. A few months later a provider in ENT was hired and requested me as his PA-C. But continued seeing my established patients. I helped with all Dr. Cody’s surgical cases as well as clinic. Examples are cleaning ears, injections, reading Audiology reports as well as going through imaging and test results with patients. This included coming up with diagnoses as well as discussing and scheduling treatment plans. I was also in charge of wound care planning and treatment of simple and complicated wounds.
