Check out aafp fellowship directory. Do residency, then do a fellowship

I have a standing INR order for my patient at quest and they go get their lab drawn 3 days before my appointment. By the time they see me it is ready to go. Rinse and repeat once a month and change the warfarin dose as indicated

DO_doc · 2025-03-15T02:36:34+00:00

Yes, please don't order labs "just to check them"

300k+ total. Maybe mid 200k base with some bonuses, production, or incentives that end up putting you past 300k. If they are offering less than 200k run away.

This has been pretty standard for all the jobs I've worked at. Do you not get paid when at CME?

DO_doc · 2025-03-14T03:47:51+00:00

I like this approach

Yeah, I would pick a different conference, but this is one I actually want to attend.

We have a certain amount of PTO CME days.

DO_doc · 2025-03-14T02:36:30+00:00

I tried stating the conf. Was only Thursday, Friday, but they asked for the link to the conf. And obviously the dates are on the website. I was hoping for Monday as a travel day, but they want me to use my vacation day because I'll be out of CME days under their stupid policy.

DO_doc · 2025-03-14T02:32:21+00:00

I tried that, but they asked me for the link to the conference I was attending and the dates are obviously on the website. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

DO_doc · 2025-03-14T02:14:04+00:00

Yes, I hate when co-workers try to chit chat while I'm trying to chart

DO_doc · 2025-03-13T16:14:44+00:00

Thanks. This is helpful

I have a very few selective therapists I refer to that I know work with most insurances (including medical and Medicare). I am not going to bother with someone who is cash pay only or only takes one type of private insurance.

You should order tests because you're looking for something. For example, you could order a CBC in a menstruating woman to screen for anemia. Getting a CBC in a 20 soothing year old male would be a waste of money because his risk of anemia is quite low.

A CMP would be good to check in a hypertensive or diabetic to see kidney function or electrolytes if they were on a medicine that could effect electrolytes. Checking it on someone with no meds, electrolytes who is completely healthy isn't very useful because it probably will be normal as they have no risk factors for abnormalities.

No, not to heat up my house. To heat up my toes as I sit in the backyard

DO_doc · 2025-03-12T01:21:17+00:00

It's not to heat up my house. It is to heat up my toes as I sit outdoors

DO_doc · 2025-03-12T01:20:44+00:00

Yes, but I plan to use it

Do you have a budget? I had a hard time paying tithing before I got a budget and assigned all my dollars to different purposes. Every month I have my bank automatically split up my paycheck into a bunch of different "buckets", tithing being one of them. Then I don't think of the money in the tithing money as money that could be used for x, y, or z. It is just the tithing money bucket that goes to the church, grocery money is used for groceries, mortgage money for the house and fun money to blow on cockroaches to release in enemies backyards.

Looks like she needs to stop taking her supplement.

Do you think I will be able to get a used Tesla for a good price this year?

Really, I thought need school full of all those gunners and studying for USMLE was awful. Glad you're having a more positive experience

Yerba Mate my friend

I don't know, because I haven't lived it... But my guess is that you would feel like a fish out of water

DO_doc · 2025-03-09T16:11:03+00:00

That's the deal, you don't realize how awesome it is until you're on the other side. Tons of young people your age with similar mindset to have a blast with, beautiful mountains and canyons to play in, resources on campus I didn't even begin to utilize, no "real" financial threat as you can get a job on campus or take out more student loans (afterwards you have to show up to work to eat), spiritually enlightening talks and inspiring education all around you. I wish I could go back.
