As for PAs, my regular doctor was out of town, I had a

and went to an urgent care place, the PA there totally misdiagnosed it,

scrapings off the rash, diagnosed it correctly, and the prescription
solved it. Not sure my regular doctor would have been able to diagnose
it either.
Like every other human endeavor, there are good and not-so-good
professionals. I've gotten somewhat better attention from a DO than an
MD, but that could be the luck of the draw.
Being a cancer patient with a rare sarcoma, I've seen a *lot* of doctors
lately--with more to come.
