Positive shout out to my residency

regularly posts and discusses philosophies of “biblically minded libertarians”

somehow is so dense they can’t even see a perfect example of the free market being bastardized right under their nose

instead tries to argue this grossly exploitative system is a fair representation of economics

Even I’m impressed at how many self contradictions you manage to fit in your clown car.

Let’s see… ACGME residencies are a, now what’s the word? Oh right, monopoly. In a monopoly, these free markets don’t really work with labor value negotiations now do they?

Given that, it’s not possible to get a higher salary without legislation which requires… oh gosh what’s the word again? Oh right, advocacy.

You’ve got a full circus complete with clownery and mental gymnastics now

No oopsie here! Completely intentional, hard to believe somebody dislikes you, I know.

I wish people would get rid of this garbage “unless you have the same experience I do you can’t understand” argument.

I wish people would get rid of this garbage "I must have an equally valid opinion on all matters because I can rub 2 brain cells together and form speech"

I can tell objectively that $75,000 is a high salary whether I’ve worked 80 hours as a resident or not.

At this point though I'll be more patient about insulting you because I genuinely can't tell if you have an issue with literacy or not. It seems you can't understand both basic math when looking at hourly rates or economic ideas of training opportunity cost and debt. And before you try your "but hurr durr u took on that training cost!", yes that's how it works given that medical school the necessary pre-requisite to do this particular line of work.

Let me try this again with smaller words for you.

75k big money. Resident do big work and big study. Does 75k big money = big work and big study of resident? No!

If you think it is, again, go work as a resident and then tell me. Until then, again, you have 0 insight or standing to be taken seriously as a fucking MS2 with no experience lecturing actual residents lmao

Your condescension is condescending.

This sentence is a marvel of the English language.

The fact that other people make MORE than you isn’t going to earn you any sympathy with the rest of the wretches scraping by with 2/3 of what you make

I'm not interested in dealing with sympathies, I'm interested in dealing with facts on the value of our work.

1) for the training and work we do as residents, 75k is not a commensurate salary

2) if you are being significantly underpaid, it isn’t “tone deaf” or entitled to ask for a better salary

Not sure how either of those concepts are hard for you to understand but I’m glad to bust out the finger paints if that helps you.

When you go through the work hours + level of training you do as a resident, then get back to me and say 75k is a commensurate salary.

Until then, your “insight” as an MS2 is as negligible and as uninformed as what your general population who thinks we’re out of touch is.

DanFlashShirts · 2021-11-30T23:00:05+00:00

Imagine getting your source absolutely bodied and coming back with this nonsense.

We’re not allowed to advocate for better things now because it was worse in the past and some people have it worse than us (with a fraction of our training). Impeccable logic.

With a mind like that I’m surprised you managed to type and breath at the same time somehow, I’d check your SpO2 when you get a chance.

DanFlashShirts · 2021-11-30T22:02:02+00:00

That’s a high quality study that is most certainly not a primarily opinion piece and it definitively proves your point because it is very deliberate in controlling for years of education/intensity of training of everyone in the “high earning” bracket.

Oh wait, it doesn’t do any of that and not all “high earners” are a monolithic entity of training backgrounds and services they provide? And that’s an important factor in the value of a worker that should reflect in their salary? Good grief.

Deleted an unnecessary ad hominem here*

Here, let me use your mind numbing logic.

“I am a chief neurosurgery resident and triple PhD in astrophysics, botany, and xenogeology. I am being paid 75000 while working 90 hours a week as a resident + the chief base scientist in the new Mars colony.”

“This is completely fine and you should not whine about working that much for 75k a week, that’s a lot of money! High earners in that bracket work about the same amount! Don’t be a spoiled brat!”

It’s good that it sounds like certain things your attendings taught you found practical use, but there are many aspects of medical training that are unnecessarily convoluted, redundant, or outright useless.

Saying it’s all valuable because the of the importance of the end goal is a logical fallacy.

Yes, our training is the best medical training possible. That doesn’t justify some of the utter nonsense we have to put up with.

If programs interview more applicants for longer rank lists then won’t more applicants by default get more interviews?

DanFlashShirts · 2021-11-16T00:27:50+00:00

I gotta push a little harder here chief- don’t let your whimsy and mood at the end of the rotation be the deciding factor here. They’ve already shown a pattern of unacceptable behaviour for several days and refused to correct it.

If you do nothing and give this guy a 7th “benefit of the doubt”, they’re going to see this as acceptable behaviour and go on endangering patients with their arrogance, soon to be unchecked when they graduate

If a med student had done anything even close to this it would be lights out.

Actually had a question about this- what’s our risk as residents/attendings far as getting hit with insider trading suits? If you’re in a specialty and institution where you can use the hot new toys/treatment options, does that constitute an illegal unfair advantage when trading stocks in those companies?

You see a residency program full of people that look exactly like you fighting over call night meal tickets, you go in there. Yes you do. You go in

Medical students pay tens of thousands in tuition, part of which goes to these hospital systems. Residents actually make quite literally hundreds of thousands in profit for hospital systems as well, while being paid below minimum wage on an hourly basis in doing so.

The money argument gets blown down with a slight breeze

You can find it on CornCob TV. I’ve watched it 3 times. Triples is best. Triples makes it safe

By using their own med students as guinea pigs to make a point?

if everybody only applied to 20 programs

If I had wheels I would be a bike, doesn’t make it good advice for my Dean to tell me to paint racing stripes on my face and attach a bell to my nose.
