It can be a love hate relationship with other services. ER is a somewhat newer profession so theyre still trying to be established. We ar ekind of known as cowboys in the medical world. So its an us against the world sort of thing here. We do try to play nice with the other services so we can get stuff done. we do bag on other services and I am sure they bag on us too. For a PA ER is one of the better fields to go into, it pays well (just not here) and the experience we gain here carries into all fields.

I gathered that ER is one of the newer professions in the medical world, yet ER's have been around for years. Who tended to them before it became known to be a profession?

And the medics appear to be the most underpaid, according to their knowledge base (or at least the several medics I've been reading) in the medical field.

Edit to add: You didn't explain the difference between a PA and an ER doc.
