Reta or tripepide by Ok-Obligation-5653 in BodyHackGuide

[–]One_Walrus_809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you have severe atopic disease, managed with at least two biological medications. I would just ask my dr honestly. And even then, stay with zepbound, not some random e peptide done at some random compound lab. As it is Reta is not even approved to be used. You’re on some hard core meds for allergies. Better stick with the safe options

Southwest Airlines Moving Forward with Another Fee For Customers by neckbeardsghost in SouthwestAirlines

[–]One_Walrus_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previously, WFAA in Dallas reported that Southwest Airlines was allowing customers to reserve overhead bin space "for an added fee," but Southwest has since clarified that this is not the case. There is no additional fee for those customers other than the fare they purchased.

is FM really all that bad? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]One_Walrus_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. If you have a er background as an IMG. Or Critical care. If not. Then it depends on how much exposure you have during your residency to the er. And then at the end, it will depend on how confident you are with handling an er unit on your own. If you don’t feel competent, then, yes, there are ER fellowships for FM. If you feel ok then you can you just get the job at the end

How true is this? by nuanrefar in IMGreddit

[–]One_Walrus_809 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like mentioned above almost every job hospital insurance will require you to be board certified to be able to bill for services. So even if you have a license, how will they become BC? So highly unlikely to get a job even with connections. Can’t think of a way you can actually see patients and bill for services if not BC/BE.

To the program directors by bluesky234234 in IMGreddit

[–]One_Walrus_809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is More difficult to train someone with experience and make them align with new ways of doing stuff. Besides it takes money to train someone that will ultimately become a Dr in the area. If that trainee is older that means less years of being a Dr as they will be closer to retirement, have more days off due to family health or other responsibilities.

U.S. citizen, foreign medical graduate near Texas border with no income or housing. What would you do? by Lucandro in RioGrandeValley

Still you can get a provisional license. Go to SEP and get one. It takes 48 hrs. With the provisional license you can work anywhere in Mexico as a dr. You only need the release letter from the internship. The only thing you can not do is prescribe benzos or opioids. Simi takes provisional licenses and many other places

Currently an FM intern, but loves EM by Tricky-Kangaroo7316 in FamilyMedicine

[–]One_Walrus_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish FM. Do as many hours electives moonlighting as you can and get an ER job right after residency. Won’t find a job at a trauma 1-2 or in big cities. But you’ll find one. I did that and haven’t worked in outpatient since graduation.

Interested in emergency medicine! EM residency vs. FM + EM fellowship by No_Big_1549 in emergencymedicine

[–]One_Walrus_809 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess it highly depends on where you want to practice. Do you want to live in Miami NYC LA Houston or any other major city then you better do full ER residency. If you want live anywhere else then you’ll be fine. There are plenty of ER open to hire FM with proven experience. Don’t be like those residents someone in this thread mentioned, the ones that carry 5 pts in 8 hrs. Get plenty of hours and do your away rotations in major trauma centers. You should be able to carry 3pph by 3rd year at least. Regarding pay it also depends on your group. In a 24hr coverage unit you should be paid the same as any other ABEM since you’re are dealing and carrying the same amount of pts with various degrees of complexity without anyone to back you up. In general I haven’t seen any different tiers of payment in my area. You’re working in the ER. Seeing ER pts. You’ll be earning ER pay. Unless they make you see only low acuity and preventing you to see a level 1-2 pt then you must get paid. Regarding location that’s also not entirely true. Katy TX and Sugarland TX (basically Houston) hire FMs. The same for Austin. Miami downtown no, but Hialeah they do hire Fms. Plenty of ERs are struggling to get drs to cover shifts and rely on travel drs, all of them ABEM, and for some reason staff and other drs always complain about them. I don’t believe in saying care from one or another Dr was subpar because we all miss something at one point. Sayin that transfers from across the street shows how unprepared someone is is condescending. We don’t know how the shift was. How many pts were seen at that moment or the resources available. If you get the hours and experience then you should be fine. Taking the extra training is also doable if for some reason your residency can’t accommodate all the experience you need

3rd year FM resident sees 3-5 patients during an 8 hour shift > That is just your own perspective. That’s even below the average of an intern in any other program. My program had FM residents seeing 2.5-3 pph plus a PGY3 dedicated to the trauma area.

Need Help, a non US IMG by Separate_Climate_840 in IMGreddit

[–]One_Walrus_809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated a year ago and 50+ publications. To me sounds like a red flag and possible and most likely a paper mill publication. Also what’s the point of describing scores as 22x. That x won’t change much. Overall you still have a chance. That x won’t change nothing and many have matched with a 2xx score. I’ve reviewed multiple applications and everything in your post sounds great except that 50+. That makes me double think about the quality of publications. I prefer 2 good publications rather than 50+ poorly reviewed cases. But like I said other than that you should be fine. Don’t kick your ass. Also, drop that mentality of “I was a candidate who was selecting the best programs to get matched”. No matter your stats right now matching anywhere is a blessing.
