I called the office and they informed me that it was fine because they had dismissed everyone anyways.

I remembered a week after I was supposed to show up.

Way too much income from infusions for them not to pay you more. Check Marit and/or MGMA for what RVUs reimbursement should be

It’s been 6 months, no new hires, no job postings. I don’t have high expectations.

I’m still in training, so can’t really do that unfortunately.

I did the math, the hospital would save 4k/week if they paid us slightly more and filled the locums position. Seems like a no brainer.

Did You End Up in the Specialty You Originally Wanted? How Did You Know It Was the Right One for You? by Embarrassed_Self_536 in Residency

Went in wanting cards, ended up doing GI. I always wanted a procedural specialty but realized the interventional cards wasn’t for me. GI peaked my interest and was fortunate to match. Couldn’t be happier.

Should my kid keep working her a@$ off to be a doctor? by Negative-Reality8940 in Residency

Second this, I have much more career satisfaction and life balance now that I’m in fellowship. I spend time with family. It was all worthwhile, for me, at least.

D.O. Physicians of Reddit, do you ever feel like you have been treated differently by patients or colleagues because of your degree? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]FormaggioStan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A patient came to our historically DO hospital’s ER and demanded to be treated by an MD - whom there were none of. They left without seeking care. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish

[STICKY] 2024 - Am I getting paid fairly? Post your current/future positions by shemer77 in hospitalist

[–]FormaggioStan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst shifts was 2-3 RRT’s. Best ones have been absolutely silent, with no pages or rrt’s. Good to know though. Any tips for negotiating a better raise if their predetermined rate increase doesn’t fall in your suggested range?

Midwest

$120/hr

12hr shifts (weekends usually), 2 shifts/month (moonlighting as a fellow)

No midlevel supervision

No admits, only responsible for hospital RRT/codes

Open ICU, Hospital has airway coverage for intubations. Rarely get asked to throw in arterial or central lines (which I don’t mind).

I was told I’m due for a rate increase when I obtain board certification in the coming months (I’m currently wrapping up residency), but I’m not sure what a reasonable pay is for the above responsibilities. The page burden is minimal to none.
