When I came across this video on Youtube, I found that someone (probably a frustrated PA student or PA-C) had already done just that, in a very humorous manner. I think the monotone voices of the 2 characters make it even better. All of my readers in the PA profession can probably relate very well to this video, and will laugh hysterically at the same time.

Do I really have to explain this one again?
I'm sure as pre-PA or PA students (or even practicing PAs) have had to explain what, exactly, is a PA to more family members, friends, and the general public than they can count. Some days, I love explaining why I chose to become a mid-level provider, and how excited I am about having the flexibility that being a PA will provide, and all of the amazing contributions that PAs make to medicine. Other days, I sometimes find myself rolling my eyes, and spitting back a cookie-cutter answer, or just feel carrying around a flier with the answers to everyone's questions ("No, I don't think it would be easier to just go to medical school;" "No, I am not selling myself short by being "just" a PA;" "Yes, we can prescribe medications, assistant in surgery, and treat our own patients;" "No, I cannot write you a prescription for vicodin;" etc....)
