    I'm not a medical professional of any type however, I've always been deeply interested in all of the medical disciplines including ARNPS,PA and specialist PAs and ARNPs . I've been care for by both LPNs,Rn's and arnps of all skill levels and levels of sonority.

    I’m not a pilot, but I watch a ton of videos about flying. Sometimes it’s interesting just to see into another life. Hope you find my videos entertaining and thanks for watching!

    You bring up a good point that I should have asked my guest about. However, a quick search shows that there is a potential increased risk of cancer for those who work in IR. Only you can decide if you’re willing to take that risk or not.
