How do you know they actually did it and just didn’t assist? Surgery residents write op notes all the time even when they aren’t the one doing majority of case.

Yeah where I do fellowship some of the PA’s help out with some of the more straightforward portions of the angiograms (access, getting catheter ready and in etc..) It’s Unlikely they are doing anything complicated or even a basic angio solo. The documentation notes in the EMR don’t always require the MD to sign off as long as they sign off in PACS. Fellows / residents put in final notes in the EMR with findings from the angio all the time.

Back when I was a medical students, when the records were tablets of stone, I used to write the “wet reads” in the chart early in my MS-IV year. (And signed as such.)

This might be a CTA or MRA…still, NP’s shouldn’t be interpreting such exams.

That is possible. BUT normally the attending would be listed along with the assistant. I do take the questions seriously and have taken some actions to find out exactly what happened

Well if the attending co-signed it would have been cut out by the picture
