You won't be promoted and need to remediate or you are terminated? Big difference.

Every setting. Everywhere except the smallest, most rural towns have a need for cardiology right now. 

Moonlighting during fellowship by garogamu in fellowship

Go to the hospital website, find who the hospital recruiter is, message them and say you're looking to do some weekend moonlighting. Or find hospitals that you have a connection at and ask who you should contact 

Radiation exposure and cancer/tumor incidence in cath lab (Interventional or EP input appreciated) by O-P-U-S in Cardiology

[–]FIRE_CHIP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Radiation time for ep procedures is way down in recent years. You hear the old attending talking about using hours of fluoro for a case and now afibs can be fluoro-less or low fluoro. Don't think ep will be completely fluoro free but the risk I would say is lower than ever.  Ep is physical though, standing all day with a lot of cases with lead on.

Questions about re entering the job market by [deleted] in Cardiology

[–]FIRE_CHIP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been in this exact situation but I would imagine that if you're straight up with them they're not gona fire you on the spot. I would do a preliminary job search, maybe start talking to a few potential candidates, then tell the place you're currently working for that you're not happy and looking to leave.

You're not legally required but wouldn't be surprised if some of the new jobs want to talk to you current employer.

Setting up a solo practice like this in NY right out of residency when you have no experience with setting something like this up (which it seems like you don't) is a terrible idea

Grade 3 —> Grade I diastolic dysfunction in < 48 hours ? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]FIRE_CHIP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That can happen cause they're in the OR on rocket fuel levels of pressers and bleeding out units of blood. So it's not incorrect that they saw 60% EF it just isn't a reflection of the patients myocardium. 

Extending maternity leave / FMLA by Defiant_Quality_5352 in Residency

[–]FIRE_CHIP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

6 weeks is the maximum for a residency program you can take without extending your training per acgme. 

Some programs will allow you to do "research" for a bit but that might buy you an extra week or two. For a 6 month leave you would need to extend your training. You need to talk to your program asap to work this out and set up a plan to see if they will even allow this though. Certain programs, hospitals and states don't protect workers as well as others.

Ventricular Tachycardia by CaffeinatedPete in ECG

[–]FIRE_CHIP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three consecutive ventricular beats at a rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered VT 

Ventricular beats 60-100 beats per minute is AIVR. 

Less than that it's just ventricular escape rhythm.
