It’s not. In a typical shift I’ll see colds, pneumonia, strep, sinusitis — but also fractures, sprains, lacerations, chest pain, abdominal pain, and rashes. Some days you see 10 patients. Other days 40-50. You have to be ready for anything — and you have to think fast across every specialty. That’s what makes it one of the most exciting settings to practice as a PA. I’m Sam Brooks — a PA-C with 7 years of clinical experience working in hematology oncology and urgent care. I built Rhythm Rounds — a music-based medical education platform for PA students, nursing students, and anatomy and physiology students.
