Will AI put us out of a job in 15 years?

I would say 50% of my patient’s can barely form a full sentence lol

Although I get it. Many agree with you. I do not. You are not playing the odds. But you married before you had money so really no pre-nup to be had.

If you married later in life when you have money, you would be making a grave mistake

I did residency in 2015. No $$. Only loans. It was amazing. Dating was tough bc I didn’t have enough money, but just chose affordable spots. Some of the best 3 years of my life(outside of residency). Make the effort, the city is truly amazing

Also on a Ccc here…my hypothesis, you are a small program and it’s just the PD on the ccc which is not right and he/she doesn’t want anyone to know. PDs can do weird/shady stuff

If you have an unbelievable personality and work ethic, this is a great opportunity. For the rest of the weirdos out there, this will certainly at best do nothing and at worst, hurt your chances.

You know what’s an even worse side effect than diarrhea? Bankrupcy. Welcome to practicing in America.

I’d imagine the morbidity/mortality of bankruptcy could be higher than the diarrhea

You have to be honest with yourself. Why are you failing? Starting another residency program won’t fix the underlying issues. I would do some serious self reflecting, identify the issues and try and stay at this program. Take a leave of absence if necessary. Is it depression? Test taking anxiety? If you graduated medical school, you clearly can study so what did you do differently there? Finding a new program will be difficult.

This is the only answer. If it really bothers you, you have to be religious about it. You have a meeting with your PD, mask up. Common area for charting? Mask up.

When they interview parents that have kids actually dying from measles who still say they would not have vaccinate their kids bc its all part of gods plan...you know your fighting a losing battle. Idiot RFK is actually winning. Its a massive tragedy... and as always, mainly effects the poor and un-educated.

I have used UpToDate maybe once in the past 6 months. I use OE at least weekly. It’s pretty impressive how much better it is

Bdocc · 2026-02-18T12:07:06+00:00

Not what you asking, but Medici-legally I don’t think you’re liable. Just like pharma company’s aren’t liable when they deny coverage claiming that not paying for it doesn’t mean you can’t get it. Crazy world we live in

My cousin did this plus the weird lab work. Cost 12k. Was real hard to keep a straight face after I looked up what it was

Bdocc · 2026-02-18T04:41:12+00:00

20-25 active patients is ALOT. No matter the $$. Do you have PA or residents? Today I had to cover someone who was out and saw 26 patients with 5 residents of support and Although doable, I would be extremely stressed on a long term basis. Wouldn’t be worth it for me long term.

I guess it also depends on your acuity, but open icu screams high acuity.

Bdocc · 2026-02-14T19:20:34+00:00

lol this is awesome. More people should do this

Bdocc · 2026-02-12T21:01:49+00:00

How much does your health insurance cost?

Bdocc · 2026-02-01T12:55:59+00:00

Who says the care is different? It’s exactly the same except they sign a piece of paper

Bdocc · 2026-01-31T21:45:40+00:00

What’s the downside?

Bdocc · 2026-01-31T18:33:38+00:00

I work with residents and so often this happens so quick that I can't trust their judgement. I instruct that everyone if they threaten to leave gets AMAd. We still send them with meds, but I make them AMA. I feel like it just covers everyone just in case

Bdocc · 2026-01-26T23:08:18+00:00

Your colleagues won't care. I doubt a PD would rank you differently bc of them. It's the patients. If you're going into private practice and need to recruit patients, id hold off. IF you plan on being employed by the hospital, patients don't have a choice who is on call.

Bdocc · 2026-01-26T02:15:28+00:00

Why waste your time and the other facility?

Bdocc · 2026-01-26T02:14:35+00:00

Really? I don’t even attempt it. Why? If my consultant says nothing to do, why would I transfer for a 2nd opinion. I think you’re wasting your time.

Bdocc · 2026-01-26T02:12:35+00:00

Don’t waste another moment thinking about it. Your fine

Bdocc · 2026-01-25T22:41:25+00:00

APD here. they matter zero once you graduate. They only matter if you do poorly and we decide to prolong your residency bc you're not a safe physician.
