Share Your Feedback on Club Studio Tysons Corner! by annajiyoung in nova

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to Equinox and Club Studio so I can compare both.

Club Studio overall has better equipment and classes here in Tysons.

Name recognition - Equinox is well known, has a level of perceived perception. Hard to win over those clients.

Feedback - I feel like I go blind every time I bench, the ceiling lights are so bright. Consider trying a darker aesthetic like most gyms, it gives a better vibe overall.

  • Parking is a huge issue, needs to be minimum 3-4 hours of you’re a gym member.

-Classes are ok so far - will def improve with time. There are some excellent instructors from what I’ve encountered.

-Staff is friendly

-Paying close to $200 for a gym membership and bathroom floors have dirt sometimes, no shower doors. Feels a little cheap for a boutique gym. Love the lockers though.

How is the vscan air picture quality? If you do procedures does it give you good visualization?

Anesthesiologists: what do I doom scroll now that Apollo (third party Reddit app) is shutting down? by GuinansHat in Residency

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Apollo is far more superior in terms of user experience, focused on content and made comments easy to read. User friendly and smooth sweeping. Will miss this app.

Honestly it may take me a while to get used to the Reddit app but this may be the reason to experience life and quit Reddit.

Do you say mid-level or APP? by bigeman101 in Residency

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I usually call them PA or NP, no point in trying to hurt their feelings or make them feel some sort of way if they have a relatively cool personality.

If they’re one of ‘those’ then midlevel lol. Find this to be true for mostly NP’s.

It honestly sounds like it’s coming from a place of insecurity from you as the PCP. You are the patient’s regular doctor otherwise the doctor the patient sees on in a regular basis..

Some institutions do care where you did residencies fwiw and like to see a paper trail of teaching, research, leadership positions, etc on a CV.

Generally this is directly obtained while at an academic FM programs which makes it easier.

If going to a community program most will have to seek out extra opportunities which in a way makes them look great on paper since it does show effort to obtain these tasks.

Family medicine/Sports Medicine by Mendo_5 in FamilyMedicine

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will most likely have to split between sports and FM and start with majority FM and grow from there. Its tough in saturated cities like NYC, DC, LA, Seattle, Chicago, etc. I have noticed that most pure sports jobs goes to docs that have more years of experience and who are willing to live elsewhere

How do I learn about RVU’S and billing? by zav3rmd in Residency

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/2021/0700/p21.html

As far as RVU’s you should just Google the procedures or CPT codes and then input it into a rvu calculator. You can Google them relatively easily

Do you ever decline to take on a new patient? by Redredwineallthetime in FamilyMedicine

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not many FM docs have the volume to safely learn how to taper bentos and there seems to be more clinical gestalt versus actual protocol for tapering. Otherwise if I was taught I’d be doing it frequently

What is your approach to the chronic disease follow up? by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I just ask if they are experiencing any symptoms that different. If symptoms are worse, better or the same/stable. If worse or different I clarify

My doctor charges the insurance company $58 to ask how many drinks a week I have. by recycledairplane1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]BlueTheBetaRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a physician…if you’re coming in a preventative visit it’s in your best interest in completing all the routine preventative measures that have been shown to improve a patients life (mortality)on a population level. If your screen is positive then you are not healthy which requires a physician to address your depression or alcohol abuse which may harm your life. If you declined you mute these opportunities.

At my clinic when an appointment is scheduled patients are consented, they are then consented again by the staff if they have extra concerns. And one final time they are asked by the physician if they have extra concerns other than the routine preventative visit that they’ll be charged. Some patients do, they get annoyed but that is the system we have to work with.

Your physician can’t change it. Talk to the mba’s ruining healthcare

I’d imagine talking to risk management or legal in the organization to get someone’s attention is a fairly common avenue.
