I was wondering when you are a Physician Assistant (PA-C) or Doctor and you have to call in sick on short notice what happens to all of your patients. Why do so many people mistaken Physician Assistant's with Medical Assistant's because they are a totally different job? A Physician Assistant has to go to two years of medical school....right? Can anyone tell me some things about a PA-C?

When a PA or doc gets sick, and I am the only one in my practice, then the patients have to be rescheduled.
A PA does everything a doc does, but under the doc's aegis

only doctors go to med school. PA's go to PA school.
the answer to your question depends on your work environment. if there is a lot of staff, then they can probably redistribute your patients among the others. if not, then they'll just need to reschedule for another.
