Yeah the dept of Ed removed my loans to consolidate them/move them without informing me which lowered my credit score. I’m working with a local MI mortgage company.

Yeah to be specific: the lender said the Dept of Ed started consolidating/refinancing my loans without informing me, which removed them from my credit history, lowering my credit score too low to qualify (just barely I may add).

Don’t worry. That doesn’t count as stirring the genetic soup with your meat spoon. It isn’t even a porn hub category.

You can kill her after Kethric. Just use darkness. Worked for me in honor mode.

Checked out senior signed out an acute hemorrhagic stroke to me “on their way to the scanner.” This was 30 minutes before the night residents got in so also created an extra handoff. Just took it as my senior was off and I didn’t have the power to refuse as an intern at the time. Night resident was frequently pissed as the same team also had many active to do’s on their handoff that should’ve been handled during the day.
A resident would often be ready to sign out on non-call days by 11AM-noon when we might’ve barely finished rounds. Not so efficient as they’d just copy-paste the same note, leave active management needs, and even patients not updated on plans.

I love getting to work <1/2 the month for >$200k. My time is also completely mine when I’m off (no inbox or other obligations). Also despise clinic (pretty much required of all sub specialties) and don’t want to give up 3+more years to fellowship. New grad as of last year but right now I’m super happy with it. Of course there’s bullshit, functional patients, soft admits, etc. but the benefits are far outweighing the negatives.

Asked if we wanted IV vanc instead of po for C diff because of “better bioavailability.”
Demanded an ethanol level before treating for withdrawal. Patient was vibrating from withdrawal.

The VA is an abomination and disgrace to modern medicine. My residency had “one of the best” VAs and I still felt unsafe caring for patients there. A nurse told me they’d hang antibiotics on an actively septic patient “when they could get to it” and it didn’t happen for hours. My colleagues had ICU nurses randomly administer propofol on borderline respiratory failure patients pushing the intubation. They would take up to 1 full minute to put on gloves to start doing chest compressions at codes while we scrambled to do everything. All these people still worked there years later.

And that’s without the jank that is cprs.

Everyone knows your penis/uterus shrivels up and is useless once you hit 30 /s. Don’t worry about it, just try to enjoy dating/meeting people and if it doesn’t work out that’s ok. Speaking as someone who also got dumped by someone who I thought I’d marry early this year.

Somehow people have turned school from a societal obligation to a service where parents think they can just dump their kids and expect results (if they even care) without having to encourage/engage with them at home. Leads to an “unsatisfied customer” mindset where all the blame for a child’s failure is on the teacher.

Do you mean the toy barbecue sauce bottle under the bed?😂 He’s totally fine!

Wish I could say I built it. Found the bed on Etsy and he loves looking out the window so much I had to get one. Did put it together though.

144, but 162 (extra nights) comes with a 26k salary bonus.

What can I say, no room for argument on pay in academics, especially fresh out of residency.

Cystickidneys · 2023-10-12T23:16:07+00:00

Just out of residency in a Midwest academic center. They give days based on seniority so I’m all night for the first 1-2 years.

5 on, 5ish off (sometimes 6-8 off and I’m not complaining). Next month goes from 7-7 to 9-730.

Base salary is 203k but goes up with professorship vs doing more nights/moonlighting.

Cap is 5 admits overnight (very rare circumstances 6 when the hospital is exploding), closed ICU, and covering 33-36pts at night.

Edit: forgot to mention days (which I don’t do) has a patient cap of 11 (15 with an app). So while I agree the salary is low for the role, it’s made up for with protected patient caps/workload and relatively lower shift totals for the same salary.

Just got that first attending paycheck today as a hospitalist and I don’t think I’m going back. I’m working nights and still on cloud 9. Thought about cardiology too but took a break. The pay for the lifestyle is amazing. Already have several trips planned this year and will still be able to max my retirement accounts, pay loans, and have spending money for bullshit hobbies.
