PA-C here. We’re only given 20 mins of time to see a patient, we’re expected to see 18-22 patients a day. 20 mins w/ 1 patient isn’t bad for a quick mediation refill, but most of our patients have chronic conditions (DM, HTN, CAD, CKD etc) plus they are likely having an acute issue too, like new back pain or worsening depresison. They’ve waited months to see a doc, and now they have 20 mins to tell us everything. Insurance comp are who force us into this schedule. See more people, get more $$
