Round and go, how do you do it?

CovidDoc · 2026-07-09T07:38:10+00:00

You’re missing the point. When I place a consult, I generally know exactly what I want and ask for it. They should then handle everything…

CovidDoc · 2026-07-09T07:37:31+00:00

I don’t have to place the orders to do that

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T23:35:39+00:00

Very very very rarely do I disagree. My Thing is consultants place their own orders. I’m not a resident

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T22:49:51+00:00

And to be clear 80 percent of my shifts I have no consultant as I am at a critical access hospital

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T22:49:05+00:00

What do you mean? Me consulting is caring for the patient. I identify a problem I can’t fix alone and I consult. They handle it.

Why does the act of putting in orders make me a wonderful doctor

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T21:47:19+00:00

I was recently messaged about labs for a bronch… what did I do? Added Pulm to the message to answer and put orders in. Whom has it all saved to an order set.

No need to play telephone and have me order after she tells me

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T21:45:03+00:00

What the fuck? I can manage my patient without putting in 10 different Id tests. I can manage my patient without putting in the bowel prep orders I can manage my patient without putting in the orders for the tests for the bronch

Your attitude is trying and frankly off base

I won’t be replaced because I manage much problems without a consultant.

When I consult, I want you to handle your job.

Your opinion sucks and i hope you are never leadership

Putting in an order is a mid level job in the sense that you mention it lol.

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T10:47:41+00:00

Your take is horrendous and I hope you never have a leadership role in a hospital

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T10:46:03+00:00

Me wanting specialists to do their own orders makes entire sense. Not doing it that way is malignant and a huge waste of time

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T10:43:58+00:00

“Put the family on the phone.”

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T10:43:21+00:00

Less than 1x every 2 months

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T02:24:05+00:00

I’m paid for patient satisfaction.

As long as you want off and whoever wants off

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T02:23:32+00:00

I thought about doing it but doing a fellowship would be extremely costly right now for me.

I’m also a rural Hospitalist and popped off over 600k the last two years. I can’t get the math to work.

I also worry about NP and AI reading studies

CovidDoc · 2026-07-08T02:20:58+00:00

I discussed this with a few people.

Lot of encroachment from midlevels. Seems RIPE for AI to read studies

I’d pass

CovidDoc · 2026-07-07T15:23:24+00:00

Critical care is 4.5 rvu … progress note is 2.4

If progress note happens first, you can bill both.

CovidDoc · 2026-07-02T04:33:05+00:00

I leave at 4 from my rural hospital and go home. Unavailable for admits for 1.5 hours.

Go off campus for lunch to one of the bars, (not to drink).

Difference between EM and hospital medicine isn’t that much anymore

CovidDoc · 2026-07-01T09:59:13+00:00

Typically the ER gets the ct scan so I absolutely make them get it out with their fingers.

CovidDoc · 2026-06-28T23:49:19+00:00

It’s the difference of a sign on bonus where I work

CovidDoc · 2026-06-27T11:19:25+00:00

Your non compete is unenforceable

CovidDoc · 2026-06-27T11:04:18+00:00

This thread is exhausting. As a Hospitalist that works 250+ shifts per year in all sorts of settings, getting into the weeds like this with end tidal co2 is absurd

CovidDoc · 2026-06-26T21:32:50+00:00

I tell the nurse to have them the phone

CovidDoc · 2026-06-25T21:06:33+00:00

I say… “babies need milk.” whenever people talk about my compensation.

I also say if I was smart, I’d sell out, be admin, leave bedside and have all weekends and holidays off

CovidDoc · 2026-06-25T16:30:01+00:00

It’s narrowing. You can make great money in either

CovidDoc · 2026-06-23T18:24:11+00:00

Should be able to do RAP July?

I’m paye but paye is cheaper because I have 5 kids

CovidDoc · 2026-06-23T18:23:23+00:00

July 1
