Treatments

One of the hardest things about medicine is knowing how to come up with the best treatment plan for each individual patient. A patient that suffers from diabetes may not always be well controlled on just Metformin. Being that this rotation was internal medicine, many of the patients had the same problems: diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and overall pain. Patients aren’t always compliant with their medications, but a medication that may be working well, may also give them side effects. I know once I start practicing, I will soon find the medications I like working with, but I am not there yet. What may work for one patient, may not work for another.

About Me

About Me
My name is Ashleigh and I am 27 years old starting the next chapter of my life. I attended PA school to become a physician assistant and graduated in December 2012. I am a daughter, a sister, a dancer, and compassionate about medicine and people. I love helping others and I can't wait to start this journey.

About this Blog

If you are just curious about a Physician Assistant (PA), or looking to be a PA, then you were just like me in the past.

I always knew I wanted to be in the medical profession, but I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go with it. Did I want to be a doctor? Not really, I knew 8 more years of school was not for me.

I will be creating a blog for the every day life of a physician assistant. From studying, to stressing, to sleeping, to crying, to helping patients, to rotations, to every day life, and how I got there and through it.

I really look forward to this and can't wait to see what happens.
