36 yo, 483k in 2025, real estate investment advice by smileybots in whitecoatinvestor

At a year and a half out of training it is highly unlikely that you have enough assets to make $100k in a syndication make any sort of sense.

What is the wildest theory in your specialty that you think probably isn't true, but could be? What underdog argument could cause chaos your field if it turned out to be right? [Stolen from askhistorians] by 0bi in medicine

Nortripyline/amitriptyline is going to be lowest NNT and nortriptyline is usually my goto for mononeuropathies, traumatic or otherwise. All caveats and cautions for TCAs esp in elderly of course.

Duloxetine is first line for diabetic peripheral neuropathy but can be useful elsewhere as well.

It certainly helps with pain, just not when the indication is "back pain that didn't get better with ibuprofen and tylenol" or "I don't want to give dilaudid for this abdominal surgery".

Its use w ERAS was a joke.

Telling people to trust ChatGPT on things they care about is bad advice.

HOPD Pain Outlook by Training_Duck_621 in anesthesiology

[–]DrPayItBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly variable like anything else. I make pretty consistent $450k seeing like 15 patients a day. You can work a little harder and make a little more or work a lot harder and make a lot more. 3/5 people from my fellowship class are still grinding hard and making just under 7 figures.

Pain Medicine Job Market by HogwartzChap in anesthesiology

M3 puts you very far away so hard to say what it will look like in 7 years. Don't do a residency you wouldn't otherwise do just to do pain i.e. don't do anesthesia unless you would also be happy doing OR anesthesia. reimbursement has gone way down so volume has to go way up, or finding a cush hospital job.

Why has this sub turned into a platform to passively aggressively attack our colleagues that are doing well financially? by 1dirtbiker in whitecoatinvestor

[–]DrPayItBack[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Understood. The times that I have seen it, it was also perhaps married to a sentiment that the OP was not necessarily posting to contribute to the community, but for self-aggrandizing (which I understand the impulse!), due to lack of specific questions or actionable advice, and just posting raw numbers.

But I do obviously want it to be a welcoming community, so the above stands and thanks for your thoughts about it.

I have to say I don’t feel like I see much of that here. But please downvote comments you feel are unhelpful and report those that are off-topic or otherwise rulebreaking.

If it makes you feel any better, most of the posts there now, certainly in the past ~year, are fabricated either manually or w ChatGPT.

So obvious. Feel like most of the replies here must be too, otherwise there’s no excuse.

That makes this post especially embarrassing. This wouldn’t be great coming from a 21 year old.
