In order to be good, really good, you need to be able to think. You need facts. You need data. You need a foundation, but if you can’t use that information, it’s all but useless. I watched four people yesterday during a case argue about the right way to set up the liposuction machine. The problem was that not one of them understood how the machine worked. They all knew how they had seen it set up before. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, but if you don’t know why you’re skinning the cat in the first place, you wind up very closed-minded thinking that there is only way.
Get the facts, but move on quickly to using those facts. Don’t just be a parrot. As a PA you’re getting paid to think, not regurgitate facts.
