I do get rather annoyed at how so many of the G.A. folks refer to Chip, the Physician’s Assistant as “Doctor”. I am very glad that Chip has at least tried to address that himself today. While both can treat patients, the titles ARE different.
1. I am a trifle amazed, after all these years, that Chipper hasn’t gone on and gotten a real M.D. degree…2. If I recall correctly, Physician Assistants have to work under the supervision a doctor. Originally for Chip that was Doc Smartley, but Doc retired (and died) years ago… I don’t recall seeing the doctor Chip work under now.

Things get on the Internet when someone does the work of putting them there. So for everything you see there maybe 1,000 things that aren’t.
