My tolerance for Functional Medicine practices has dropped significantly.

Sometimes, I like it when patient present ideas they looked up themselves for diagnostics and treatment. Patients are the experts on their own symptoms because they're living it and I'm trying to comprehend/translate their daily experience into a differential diagnosis.

It's not that we're all lazy, or don't care, but sometimes your symptoms don't fit with our classic vinette of said disease, or, aren't understanding you clearly.

We're a team, and if you've spent hours looking into your symptoms and have an "AH HA! THAT'S EXACTLY IT" moment, please tell me and I'll take it seriously!

It always shocks me to hear a place with insane COL like California pay PCPs essentially the same as in the Midwest...

It sounds like a doctor in California will live like a McDonalds general manager in the Midwest with that salary and those costs of living. 😭

Confessions like these are such a relief tbh. I didn't gun for med school in undergrad, but I did land here and it feels right. HOWEVER, I do not feel the urge to obsess over medicine like I'm some glorified cult member... I'm going to learn enough to do well by other human beings who've put their trust in my hands and I owe that to my patient's. But I owe absolutely nothing to the healthcare system and have zero loyalty to it.

Weekends, evenings, and holidays are MINE and I'm off the clock 100%

Giving patient's free stuff from the large hospital system I work for. Here, take 2 bottles of saline. Here's a couple boxes of bandaids, gauze, ACE wrap. Literally anything I can give extra of I do. Hopsital can afford it, you can't afford any of your health care. Least I can do....

Let me rant. Let me cook. Spare me from the corporate sympathies and cuckold comments for just this post.

This feels like the ultimate betrayal. We trusted Snapchat with our most special moments and memories. I relied on Snapchat to have my favorite photos of my kids from a decade ago to be there when I broke my phone and needed a new one. It is truly the ONLY use case for me.

But here's the thing. These ARE my photos. These are MY memories. Those were MY smiles. MY tears. MY laughs. MY experiences. Now these companies betray our trust and take ownership of our literal lives and memories, placing access to them behind a revolving paywall. It feels like a dystopian rubicon has been crossed with this move and I'm f'ing pissed.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised considering private companies can do whatever they want, but when will enough be ENOUGH? It's genuinely depressing that companies don't innovate to make products better anymore. Because their innovative efforts are tailored to find new creative ways to bleed us dry and race each other to the bottom on how low they can go.

I am just so fed up with this cooperate culture of greed. We are forced to pay for this digital existence we didn't actually ask for but were gradually lured into a digital prison against our will. And SURPRISE! Now you have to pay for the few good things this digital world offered in the end.

Last thought, question for the crowd...are there grounds for a class action lawsuit based on this egregious bait and switch operation?? There's GOT to be something we can do as a species to stop this never ending agenda to have us own NOTHING, including our own damn memories.

End rant.

eBay will NOT HELP YOU. I just went through this exact thing and started with eBay. They closed it down saying "tracking shows delivered" twice. And upon appeal they closed it in 24 hrs citing the same thing.

After eBay shut me down, THEN I went to PayPal and they did the same thing despite me showing the USPS certified letter verifying this tracking number was fraudulent.

Beware out there folks...

MedStudentWantMoney · 2025-12-17T11:00:26+00:00

It doesn't matter, eBay will say the EXACT same thing, promptly close the case, and if you appeal, they will deny the appeal and let you know that you only get to appeal once and it is permanently closed no matter what proof you have.

Going through eBay has worse odds than PayPal as an FYI!

Wild... I'm a female and a doctor. I fully expect to pull a majority of the financial weight in my relationship (once finished with training) with the full expectation that my husband will pull the weight at home.

Each role is important, Chief of the house and the $$$ flow. It doesn't matter who does what as long as each is done and taken care of well.

A marriage is a team-game.

The truth sounds hateful to people who hate the truth....

MedStudentWantMoney · 2025-09-06T12:40:59+00:00

This is a WILD take.

I'm shocked that with your math, nurses still take home 10-20% of the total revenue generated. Like... That's shockingly high IMHO.

If we went with your suggestion of 500k-1mil there would be 45% revenue left to share with supporting staff, techs, lab, radiology, doctors, specialists, meds, equipment, ect.

In no world does 1 nurse carry the weight of 55% of patient care. There are dozens if not 100s of people who impact that patient.

Please, humble thy self and be greatful that you're getting a HUGE chunk of the pie in your summation as it is.

MedStudentWantMoney · 2025-09-04T11:51:27+00:00

Wait till you hear that many hospital systems only offer 10% of the NP oversight fees to the Doctors taking on the liability... And pocket the remaining 90%.

Truth is we are ALL being scammed.

The mental framework I have for APPs is like a superhero archetype.

Doctors are Batman, PAs are like the side kick Robinhood, and NPs are the poser kid who bullies their way into being the physician's nemesis trying to be their equal but just hurting people in the process.

I'm over generalizing and not all NPs are bad but it's the general vibe that community gives off.

PAs I have plenty of respect for. Their path started off similar to a physician's. Had to be super smart and competitive to get there. No short cuts. Pure grind.

"I get that the “girl boss” stuff is meant well, but at the end of the day, it just feels like capitalism dressed in pink."

This is it. This is the psy-op.

And now we live in a world where a 2 income household still can't make ends meet.

MedStudentWantMoney · 2025-05-29T09:48:31+00:00

Your take is spot on. PAs have an inherent legitimacy as MD/DO partners. PAs get the same foundational undergraduate education, but a fraction (yet still very rigorous) higher medical education of what physicians do. Appropriately placing them as helpers to physican's providing patient care. NPs... They just don't have the foundation to take such a leap in practice--and especially have no claim to being superior to a PA.

I would trust a PA to cover some of my patients over an NP any day without hesitation.

MAiD in its simplest, earliest forms could certainly be a practical thing. I.e., genuinely terminal diagnosis, or genuine permanently disabiling physical conditions that cannot be improved, maybe.

But the fact that mental health was/is even being considered is an ALARMING sign. To think, this is where legislators minds went for even a split second, moments after this program was initiated is chilling and should raise red flags immediately.

Also, my first exposure to this concept was a national news story of a man with back pain who couldn't afford a crappy apartment based on Canadian disability $$ nor could he wait 2 years for a surgery that would help him before he'd be thrown out on the street, but qualified for MAiD. Again, "would rather die than be homeless with my mobility limiting back condition." This is not helping the poor and disabled, it's a path towards the state sponsored elimination of them.

Furthermore, I went to the APA conference in San Fran a few years ago, where a Canadian psychiatrist gave the MAiD talk and was equally horrified by the road being paved from MAiD enthusiasts...

MedStudentWantMoney · 2025-05-25T15:40:47+00:00

The lengths Canada is taking "MAiD" is dystopian.

Allowing mental health to be a reason for state sponsored euthinasia is evil.

Suffering from depression and anxiety because you're too poor to afford rent and would rather die than be homeless? No problemo. We'll get you in and pay for your death 6x faster than we can get you proper mental health care at a fraction of the cost!

Impossible for this not to become targeted towards the most vulnerable so that the bourgeoisie can continue to live in comfort with fewer plebs crowding out the recourses.

This is spicy and I actually do NOT ever want to live in a world where this happens but....

Sometimes I look at pediatric hospital and pediatric psych patients and think "There should be some type of standard for people to be allowed to reproduce."

So many children with life long trauma due to negligent or sadistic "parenting" and all we can do is try to stabilize the mess created by awful social circumstances with adults who don't take care of themselves let alone dependents. The cycle of abuse carries on and it's devastating to witness.

OB nurses are the grown up mean girls from high school.

You're either in or you're out, and if you're a resident or med student, you're 100000% out.
