What is the role of a physicians assistant?
Hi, Thank you for this question. I am happy to answer! I have been a PA for over 30 years. As you can imagine , the profession has drastically changed and grown over this time. The Physician Assistant really has an important role as a health care provider. We can diagnose, write prescriptions with our own DEA license, perform minor surgeries, procedures and formulate and perform much the same treatment regimens as physicians do. By law, we must have a supervising physician who is available for consult if needed (not necessarily on site). a perfect role , for example, is in the ER the PA could be suturing lacerations which would free the physician for perhaps more serious or complicated cases. Many PAs are trained in multi-specialties which allows us to work, thrive and excel in pretty much any field of medicine. Hope this helps. Suzanne READ MORE
Do muscle relaxers help a pinched nerve?
Most definitely! Especially if the nerve is being pinched from tight muscles or muscle spasms, which is quite frequently the case! Also, anti-inflammatory medication such as motrin will help reduce nerve irritation and discomfort. Good luck. Pinched nerves are no fun! READ MORE
Why are two thermometers showing different temperature readings?
Hi! Unfortunately, this is not uncommon to have different readings. But they should not be considerably different. Definitely within 1 degree. Make sure you are using in same location on the body. That can make a difference. Ultimately, if they are close, stick with one so you are able to at least see if temperature is going up or down. Hope that helps. Suzanne Freesemann READ MORE

A physician assistant is a health care practitioner who practices medicine in collaboration with physicians. They examine patients, prescribe medicine, and order diagnostic tests. In most cases, they work under the supervision of physicians or surgeons, but they can work more independently in some states, rural areas, and inner-city areas, consulting with physicians only when they need help with cases.
In her spare time, Suzanne enjoys Angels baseball, traveling, and is especially passionate about live music. She is married and has one son.
