Medical Certification

I really have very little knowledge of what a medical assisting certification is, as far as I can tell, it's for supporting patients who are about to see a doctor. Pretty good idea I think because it be quite a lonely wait in the waiting rooms waiting to be seen, would be great to have more support while waiting to be seen. I mean I cut myself bt accident awhile ago, it looked bad to me and I waited quite awhile to be seen, but it was nice to have the medical staff check in on me every so often before the patched me up.
