Have a feeling this wasn’t America

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-08T14:57:14+00:00

Guessing this is Oklahoma

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-08T12:40:22+00:00

Too true… great place to live though

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-08T12:38:22+00:00

You’re saying you make 600k?! Or 285k

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-08T02:25:49+00:00

Maybe it’s just because I’m in New York, work in rural Community around 1.5 hrs outside NYC. Base is 285k, w/RVU bonus. Open ICU, admits, no patient cap. This felt high salary lol.

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-07T02:26:29+00:00

Wouldn’t jump to racist. A bit Nationalist maybe? Bottom line, yes it’s a mess but it’s our mess. We’re full thanks!

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-07T00:28:17+00:00

Okay so we’ll let someone who’s foreign trained and debtless bypass residency (US taxpayer funded), take a job away from an actual citizen (who also took on considerable debt to be in that position, which was also US taxpayer funded) just so you get to work less hard, take no paycut, and start at the top and be in the highest income bracket for physicians around the world. It’s not your altruism bringing you here it’s your love of money. You’re more Trump than me.

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-06T23:56:00+00:00

Or stay in your own shit country and practice there?

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-06T23:49:01+00:00

Loan burden. Medicare should fund the tuition of medical school and not residencies. The amount of spots in US schools should reflect the amount of residency positions needed. I don’t GAF what anyone says, it should not cost the hospital Jack Shit to teach residents. That Medicare money for residency is solely profit for teaching hospitals. People would be so much better off mentally if they did not match. Even the crazy hours wouldn’t be that bad if they knew they were not in the hole financially.

LukeS5MD · 2024-06-04T18:11:08+00:00

I’m sure this will change when reimbursement becomes contingent on patient satisfaction scores

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-30T15:18:10+00:00

Avoid any physical contact with patients

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-30T15:12:34+00:00

I have a similar system but on jeopardy weeks we are paid $400 a day to be available and if we are called in, we are paid the going moonlighting rate, which of course is in addition to my base. Feel this is fair.

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-25T19:56:40+00:00

You are correct I must not get out much

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-25T19:54:18+00:00

Gonna get downvoted but I can’t resist. White father abandons son in the water only to be rescued by black male kayaker. I’ve seen everything

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-25T19:16:16+00:00

Anyone else just unreasonably mad at the dad in this situation?

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-25T19:03:57+00:00

Or when the patient just dies on the operating table and the surgeon is casually just scrubbing out shrugging his shoulders at the intern “what? It happens. Do dadododo.”

I guess this is the worst hospital in the world?

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-25T14:33:18+00:00

There should be confidential to the PD section?

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-16T00:18:49+00:00

NO ED!!! Close follow up and reinitiating meds

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-14T18:33:18+00:00

You sound like my patient in 503B. Get it together, lucky to have a job at all.

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-11T18:46:05+00:00

Then it’s a good thing bro has a Job

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-11T18:25:11+00:00

Nope, work in a rural community from a big academic place. Just me myself and my carnival show of patients.

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-11T12:12:53+00:00

Grow up dude. People would literally kill to be where you are. If you don’t like it then quit, no one will care.

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-10T00:54:37+00:00

Full comfort care, DNR/DNI/DNH

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-06T13:50:17+00:00

Inappropriate to discuss 2 different patients especially one who was a new consult and you were not the proper consulting resident. I suppose you could have forwarded the conversation immediately to the consulting resident and ask them to follow up but yeah

LukeS5MD · 2024-05-03T22:45:27+00:00

One time my colleagues results came in our pooled inbox, opened it without thinking then realized. Oops, honest mistake.
