Being known is odd

Filed Under (General Talk) by Dave on 16-07-2010

So I have had this website going for quite a while now and it has been quite fun.  It started as an adventure that I wanted to happen everyday.  The idea was to post the day to day happenings.  That happened for a while, but then the hustle of PA school set in and I started posting whenever I had the time.

Little did I know that the biggest part of this website would be the e-mails.  People have been using the contact form quite a lot to ask me questions and get advice.  This is not a complaint!  Keep sending in all your questions and comments!

If you have submitted a comment or e-mail via the contact form and have not heard anything back, i’m getting to you :)

Now to the point of this post…

I was working in the ER on my last rotation, look for another post soon talking about my experiences on my ER rotation, and something odd happened.

I went in to see a patient did a H&P and was fixing to leave to present to the attending when the patient’s husband stopped me.

His exact question was, “Are you the PA student with that blog?”

After being totally caught off guard for a moment I said yes.

He told me that his son was on the waiting list to get into the PA program at MCG and that he had used my site to help with this interview and application process.

He also told me that his son had asked me a question via this blog and that I had typed up a long meaningful response that helped his son out quite a bit.

I think this sums up everything I ever wanted this blog to do.

I have always wanted to get out the word about physician assistants and give everyone that cares a look into the life of a PA student.

So, keep the comments and questions coming and I promise I get to them all in due time.

Now my only question is… how in the world did the father know I was the one with the blog? !  I mean there were 50 MCG PA students?!
