Correct
Feedback:
The ‘People against Dr. Chapman’ aired December 6, 1970 as one of four episodes of the lawyers that was broadcast under the NBC umbrella program THE BOLD ONES. The episode was scripted by Jerome (Jerry) Bredouw. Bredouw wanted to educate the public about the need to enact legislation (especially in California) to allow doctors to use physician assistants to extend their services to individuals living in medically isolated communities. Bredouw was motivated by the California case, Shasta County v. Whittaker (1966). Roger Whittaker, a surgical assistant trained in the military, was charged with practicing medicine without a license even though he worked under the supervision of a neurosurgeon, Dr. George Stevenson, during brain surgery, Bredouw was a big fan of the comic strip Gasoline Alley and convinced the cartoonist, Dick Moores, to have Chipper Wallet, a corpsman in Vietnam, become a physician assistant.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
3. Who was the “doctor’s assistant” trained and employed by Dr. Amos Johnson in Garland, NC, who served as Dr. Eugene Stead, Jr.’s role model when he began formally educating PAs at Duke University?
Correct
Feedback:
Prior to the development of the physician assistant program at Duke University in 1965, many physicians were training their own assistants on the job. Stead was aware particularly of one such proprietary trained assistant, Mr. Henry Lee ‘Buddy’ Treadwell, who was trained by and worked with Dr. Amos Johnson in general practice in Garland, North Carolina. This relationship crystallized Stead’s vision of how a physician’s assistant could be used to help over-worked doctors deliver health care services.
