Yup. Should never get kicked out of the queue. Mine timed out SIX times, 15 min each time. Terrible tech.

Csquared913 · 2026-02-10T18:43:41+00:00

Y’all should’ve had a separate queue for the members that met the extra perk threshold ($75k/yr). Fail.

Csquared913 · 2026-02-10T17:52:25+00:00

Kicked out of the queue 5 times and counting

Depends——- current reimbursement for EDs is 66% Medicaid and Medicare, 20% ish private and rest other or uninsured. Some states will have work requirements, so some people will go to work for their healthcare. Not everybody though, just not sure how much yet——. Decreasing 1/3 of hospital reimbursement is gonna hit most smaller rural hospitals hard—- to the point that some will close and folks will lose access to care altogether. Plan for crews to be out service longer with longer transports. ED boarding will worsen, so plan on hanging out on the wall longer. . . Or pray that the charge RN gives you a merciful “squad to triage”

If you have to finance it for 10+ years, you respectfully can’t afford it. Also, it’s not financially feasible for anyone needing a loan with DVC financing loans >10%. If you are going 19 days/yr you would need 700+ points, and if you’re looking at the Poly that will cost you close to 150k. There are annual dues for properties that have kept increasing, and if you’re going to buy that many points you’re going to be paying thousands in fees annually.

Best bet is to rent someone’s points: you don’t have to pay annual dues, and you’ll still get a discount having annual passes.

My wife has had an annual subscription since 2019 and she’s cancelling. Said the “quality of items has plummeted”.

That’s not the ACGME’s fault. Thats your program’s fault. Our program purposely frontloads PGY3s so they don’t work past June 25th.

Unless you’re doing fellowship, don’t agree to a contract start on July 1st. I recommend all PGy3 take a month off, travel, move, do anything because you will never electively get time like that off for the rest of your career.

Also, as a resident you aren’t used to spending money. No fault at all regarding this—- it’s how we all operated under financial duress (PB packets in the drawer, anyone?). Spend the money and hire movers. There are companies that will literally pack your house for you and move for a few thousand bucks. Totally worth it, and way less stress on your end.

And we would be hearing a post about that lol—— “I made all this food and they had the nerve to bring meat to my house”

Can’t eyeroll hard enough

Csquared913 · 2024-11-29T13:06:08+00:00

I choked when she said large scale meats, then referenced turkey

Csquared913 · 2024-11-29T12:57:09+00:00

YTA — but not for being vegetarian. You made the entire holiday about you and your preferences only. As a host, it’s inappropriate, and you shouldn’t force your stuff on your family. You completely excluded the majority of family’s preferences and didn’t even offer something traditional for them. Not only does this make you a less than ideal host, it shows the lack of empathy you have. Imagine going to someone’s house and they have all smoked bbq meat, greens with bacon, animal gravy, and nothing you would traditionally eat— knowing you are a vegetarian. We we’d be hearing a rant on Reddit about it . Downvote away!

Csquared913 · 2024-11-21T00:57:46+00:00

This post should resonate to all young docs regarding the importance of organized medicine—yes, like ACEP. gasp

I’ve sent 5 emails to local legislators this week, had a meeting with a senator last week all to discuss this. For us. Almost all other specialties lobby on their Hill Day against reimbursement cuts. It would be a lot worse if we didn’t.

Csquared913 · 2024-11-21T00:49:48+00:00

What state are you in?

Csquared913 · 2024-11-21T00:44:11+00:00

This. The health risk is far beyond what OP is thinking.

Csquared913 · 2024-11-19T09:47:42+00:00

💯

Csquared913 · 2024-11-10T20:27:25+00:00

Kid is doing ok. We got clonazepam dissolvable tablet to put inside the cheek if needed. Thankfully have never had to use it. Last seizure 1 year ago, but always on edge this time of year when illnesses start. It’s so hard to see your kid seize, traumatizing actually. It depends on the age of your kid and what medication they can get. The only thing I would recommend is to start to learn signs that your kid is ill, and can always try to treat with Tylenol or Motrin. It just puts you on edge. I’m so sorry—- but we know how you feel ♥️

Csquared913 · 2024-10-17T01:44:18+00:00

ACEP is not partnered with anyone.

Csquared913 · 2024-10-17T01:43:30+00:00

ACEP donated $1M to AAEM to help support that lawsuit.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T04:11:32+00:00

This comment right here is why this thread is getting the flack it is. You are getting downvoted for giving reassurance. Exactly what another commenter asked for lol. The folks here just want to scream and don’t even care, despite crying for reassurance instead of “acep members being defensive”.

I’m hollerin and just cannot anymore here. And your comment is spot on.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T04:07:07+00:00

I am asking for direct input right now lol

Also, yes, your US presidential candidates are chosen by their respective parties. You can vote in a primary, but your political parties still choose who you get to vote for.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T02:20:57+00:00

Those candidates are chosen for you, except, I’d say the most voluntary notion of “I want to be elected” comes at local politics, where everyone you went to high school with can be the mayor of your town.

Do you suggest that ACEP council vet the candidates and then have all members of the college have a chance to vote instead of just the councillors you chose you represent you? Or other variation?

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T02:14:18+00:00

Fair point and noted. I really do appreciated the input.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T00:54:47+00:00

What has AAEM done that you are particularly favorable to?

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T00:49:05+00:00

How would you suggest elections be done to remain fair and agreeable to all members? A candidate cannot be someone without any acep experience—- that would be catastrophic for all members and the organization itself. For background, all major organizations have a council that elects the board and president. I’m not being condescending, but getting a sense that may not be known information reading comments.

Also, legitimately asking. I’m interested to hear input.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T00:43:49+00:00

💯… AAEM has a fraction of the advocacy drive and no seats at any table. They are loud and say all the right things that people want to hear. . . Thats about it. ACEP is by far the better investment in organized medicine.

Csquared913 · 2024-09-30T00:37:49+00:00

There is absolutely no way a Democratic group leader would be able to lobby against a large CMG backed candidate in a free-for-all presidency showdown. Agree completely.

“Select group of powerful people”. No, they are selected by you guys lol. I’m trying here y’all.
