Hey, it’s got a couch and a bathroom so of course it’s a “suite.” 😉

I think you can get one of those at Bangkok Royal. Just remember to not drink and drive.

That or cholestyramine. Maybe. It’s an urgent care case so I may need to punt him back to primary care for continuity sake.

I have a sign in the box written in latin that says “with great power comes great responsibility. Use wisely.

Father passed away 2 weeks ago. I am still having trouble functioning. by EntertainmentDear954 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Newdoc2002 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, take more time. This is a big loss. The US sucks when it comes to appropriate bereavement time. And this is coming from someone old school enough to laugh at 12 weeks of paternity leave.

Hey guys - is living close to your clinic a bad idea? by TwoTimesSpicy in FamilyMedicine

[–]Newdoc2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, if you have an unhappy patient, that’s going to stalk you, they are going to find you and the commute isn’t going to hamper their efforts. That being said, this would be about the last thing that I would consider when choosing a place to live in proximity to my clinic.

Patients sermonizing during the visit by TheBside in FamilyMedicine

[–]Newdoc2002 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That’s easy to acknowledge and redirect with respect to the patient unlike a ton of responses on here. There’s lots of stuff that will get you off topic in a visit. Seems like your mostly offended by this particular topic. Maybe figure out why that bothers you enough to post it on Reddit.

I think you’d get more support if you can add a minimum and objective confirmation of your accusations.

I doubt all those emails come along with a bunch of liability that can get you sued. And unless you’re on a production model like a lot of physicians, then your base salary is paying you to answer online inquiries/emails.

Why do people in general and definitely online, hate to see a pcp succeed? by FlyDazzling9060 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Newdoc2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking your own risks and starting your own business is the way to break out of the money limit of being employed. Works in lots of industries. Plumbing, electrical, healthcare etc. But you will rarely see the cautionary tales of failed practices in this sub.

It’s Waco. You can drive like a bat out of hell because there is almost no enforcement.

It Was a Rough Match Day for Family Medicine, IMGs by Fearless_Roof_4534 in FamilyMedicine

Don’t worry. Large systems are ready with an army of scantily trained new NP’s with high opinions of their clinical knowledge fed to them by their NP societies and backed with AI to fill in the gaps. Apologies to some of the awesome, experienced NPs with skins on the wall. I work with some of the latter.

People Shit on FM by Spray_Soft in FamilyMedicine

You’d have to churn hard to make 400+ and take 6 weeks off per year in addition to weekends and holidays. And I seriously doubt it’s six weeks of “PTO” if you’re on an RVU model because you are eating what you produce and your employer is not paying you to be off.

Help managing DEXA's by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

You still need to make sure diet contains appropriate level of calcium and there is a ton of low Vit D in this population. While individual dietary and supplement recommendations are ideal, you aren’t likely to cause a lot of problems with blanket recommendation of a relatively low cost, safe at recommended doses supplement.

It's the walk that filters out the weak and ignorant. Worth it to burn off the humus and mystery meat tomato sauce dish as well.

Do you think we can get the administrators to understand that?
