You have hit the nail on the head. The MA position was created by the medical profession so that doctors could pay their office personnel $10 or $11 an hour. Any other claim is hogwash. My daughter got her first health care job in an office, where she was quoted $10 an hour, then when she took the job, it turned into $9 an hour.

I work in a Clinic, and also the hospital. The Clinic pays $10.00 less than what I make at the hospital. I feel the work is just as important because we make the same decisions as I do at the hospital but not as hectic a pace as at the hospital. I also do not get a cost of living raise or a raise of any kind. No benefits.I also work 8-5pm and no weekends. They want me to work more at the Clinic but the pay is so low.
