I graduated today. I am officially a Physician Assistant.

[Aristus]

Thank you to all of my DU friends who encouraged me and believed in me through this whole process. I owe you so much...


I wish my Dad had been there to see me get my diploma...

[Kaleva]

1. Congrats!!

[Angel]

2. Congratulations!

Here is to very few difficult patients for you, and many who appreciate how hard you worked to get where you are.

3. Congratulations, Aristus. Physician Assistant is what I would've gone for...

.

...after my stint in the Army as a medic... if I but had the math skills.
.
.
.
.
.
You obviously carry your Dad in your heart.
.
.
.

So he WAS there... and rest assured, he was overflowing with pride in you.

4. Thank you. I was in the Army, too. But I wasn't a medic. I was a tanker.

If they'll take a dumb-ass tread-head, they'll take you. If you're an ex-Army medic, they'll be clamoring for you!...

8. Congratulations on becoming a PA!

I would much prefer to deal with my PA than my physician. I wish you well in your new career.

:toast: and a :toast: to your Dad. I think he probably did 'see' you get your diploma. He is in you, you and he are never separated as long as he's in your heart.

Best of luck in your career -- you will find peace and pain. I was a nurse, and it was the finest, funniest, and sometimes the saddest times of my life. Take joy and pride in it - you have chosen well, Grasshopper.

Seems like just yesterday you were exploring PA programs. Can't believe you've finished already. You will definitely have job security as healthcare reform ramps up. And I know you will make a great PA. We need more compassionate people in life.

Doctor?

I'm hoping your title isn't abbreviated as Dr's Ass.
