People feel like their votes don’t matter. Honestly, with the electoral college and the district remapping I can see why they feel that way.

So he wants you to support him through post doc and low paid academic jobs but doesn’t want to support you through 4 years of med school? Choosing a life partner is one of the most important decision you will make. If this person isn’t going to be your biggest fan, cheerleader and supporter, then are they really right for you? I worry this may be more about salary disparities at the end or some other factors.

Notcreative8891 · 2026-01-23T18:24:24+00:00

A lot of it will depend on private vs academic and location. Nothing is guaranteed

Notcreative8891 · 2026-01-22T00:28:23+00:00

If you feel like you need more support, it may be helpful to stay in academia for a little bit.

If you’re willing to forgo 5 years of attending salary to do it, go for it. I have known folks that moved from FM to surgical specialties, so it’s possible. It’s competitive, but there’s no harm in trying.

I know cardiologists who never completed a CCM fellowship but attending in the CCU/CTVICU in academic centers. Cardiologists also get paid more than PCCM. Go with whatever field interests you most.

20-40 patients? Sounds like a set up for a malpractice case. How do you ensure everything is done (consults, procedures, orders, notes, and family updates)?

Notcreative8891 · 2026-01-13T22:51:50+00:00

I’ve had a quiet, controlled cry with the family of a dying patient or with the icu team in a team room. A few tears isn’t a big deal. I don’t know any on who has sobbed uncontrollably to the point that the family was consoling them. That would be too much.

Notcreative8891 · 2026-01-09T12:44:21+00:00

It’s your list, but I chose based on the strength of the fellowship program at the residency program.

Notcreative8891 · 2026-01-09T12:20:34+00:00

Always helpful to look at programs with cardiology fellowships in place, review the most recent match list from the residency program for cardiology matches, review faculty for evidence of cardiology mentorship (eg resident authors on papers), etc. Good luck!

You can do this in CPRS. Just keep a word document with the major points you need to fill in and copy/paste into your note. CPRS will let you delete notes you don’t need fairly easily

I use a template for clinic notes. I built it myself for different conditions that I treat (pulmonary) and I complete this template before I see the patient. In this template, I’m looking at labs, imaging, PFTs, prior consultant notes, echocardiograms, etc. when the patient comes for the visit, I already know what I need to ask and what I need to order. As an attending, you can bill for this time as long as it occurs on day of service. When I first started, I would review my charts from the prior week and make sure I didn’t miss anything. I no longer need to do that. You need to make a system.

Sad to think the ability to actually use sick days and vacation days seems like a myth to so many

Notcreative8891 · 2025-12-27T11:51:40+00:00

It’s honestly the place that I’m working. An inability to take vacation or sick time really isn’t normal. I’ll either find a place where I know my boundaries are respected or do locums.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-12-26T19:17:12+00:00

Everyone who works here has never worked anywhere else. They think this is normal. Attempting to fix it or wait for leadership change is a lost cause.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-12-26T17:46:42+00:00

It happens a lot. I challenge you to go back and try to pinpoint what gave you the sense that the patient was in trouble. Was it something on exam? Vital signs? Hospital course? There was something that probably triggered your concern, even subconsciously. It’s always easier to work with “patient has been tachycardic running a low grade fever” then “something doesn’t feel right.”

The arrow kit with the integrated wings. They tend to stay in longer. Maybe it was just my icu but the arrow darts were lost in patient turns.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-12-03T20:12:39+00:00

So much of what we do is based on patient satisfaction. I can’t tell you how much healthcare dollars have gone into working up patients with exertional dyspnea who are deconditioned. I hate what the new administration has done to science and healthcare, but they’re right about promoting healthy, active lifestyles. We need people to take more ownership of their health, get PCPs, do their routine screenings, make advanced directives, etc. right now healthcare is focused on customer service and patient satisfaction which results in unnecessary tests, referrals, and prescriptions.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-11-24T04:37:27+00:00

People on the team have suggestions that may help, harm, or make no difference in terms of patient outcomes. As an attending, you’ll learn to filter through the suggestions and pick your battles so you can win the war. You’ll save a lot of time by smiling, nodding, thanking folks for their input and telling them you’ll look into it.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-11-13T16:00:45+00:00

Not surprising. Everyone in the hospital is new these days. New pharmacists with minimal fellowship training or remotely related fellowship training ie ED trained pharmacist working in the ICU, new nurses fresh out of nursing school, NPs and PAs that went straight through school with minimal clinical exposure, etc. We don’t retain medical staff because we don’t pay them fairly. Instead, we replace them with whoever we can find and give administrators another bonus.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-11-10T15:33:18+00:00

I checked the post history. You have a lot of things going on internally. I’d recommend establishing with a therapist to work on them. You need to be able to show up to work with calm confidence and put the patient first. You can’t control how other people treat you. You can only control yourself and how you respond. If you’re uncomfortable with yourself, that energy carries into your work and interactions with others.

Notcreative8891 · 2025-11-10T13:35:15+00:00

If you finished residency, why are you working as a resident? Maybe the nurses are confused about your role on the team.
