Had the opposite happen. MD, and an ORthopedic did a scope on my knee and went through my tumor. Walked around with a large tumor in my knee for 7 years because MDs misdiagnosed it. It wasn't until my knee locked up and I had a PA investigate and got me to the where I needed to be.
So before people bash ALL NP and PAc, its all individually based. I am in the medical field and there are times that I actually send people to a certain NP or PAc because the MD tends to rush where the NP or PAc tends to listen and take their time to get all the info.
Is this every case? No, it is individual situations. Each clinician is a different personality.
