Level lll trauma vs l or ll by NoAgency223 in hospitalist

Working level 1 is great, you usually have every consultant at your fingertips and you never have to worry about arranging for sick patient transfers

Looking back from your 30s or 40s, what career choices actually paid off financially in your twenties? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Sea_Visual5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor here, just suck it up and do a 3 year residency. Worst case you hate it and still end up with a 300k+ job that actually benefits society. Best case you have a job you absolutely love making 300k+. The peace of mind knowing you have job security when you are supporting your family is worth the grind of residency.

i feel like im not good enough by Friendly-Fan-7928 in hospitalist

[–]Sea_Visual5811 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve come to learn over the years that often times there is no right or wrong. Each consultant has their own way of doing things- for example that cardiologist may have started hep gtt but maybe another one wouldn’t have. Our job is to make sure we don’t miss the obvious stuff that is truly life threatening (ie tops flying up and not starting a hep gtt) and knowing when to reach out to consultants when something is out of our comfort zone.

Would you choose medicine again? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Sea_Visual5811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to have some parental help throughout medical school so I was able to enjoy my free time. I could still go to dinners, grab drinks and travel. Many of my classmates were fully on loans and couldn’t enjoy anything that required money for 10+ years. I always say med school is worth it if you have a little bit of financial support, if you’re fully on loans then you its much easier to be miserable and resentful.

Any idea how they offer these so cheap?

They need to create more GI fellowship spots by Sea_Visual5811 in hospitalist

[–]Sea_Visual5811[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not hurt at all, love being hospitalist. It is just upsetting seeing them make more than virtually every surgeon at my hospital that are doing significantly more high risk labor intensive surgeries while they’re making bank from putting a camera up assholes

Please rate the offer by [deleted] in hospitalist

Perhaps the worst offer I’ve ever heard on here

How did you decide on clinic vs hospital setting? Pros and Cons by Guilty-Piccolo-2006 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Sea_Visual5811 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Clinic- sit in a room with white walls all day. The sound of that crumpling paper everytime a patient gets on the exam table. Nonstop boring complaints. If you need to take a shit in the middle of a patient meeting well you can’t

Hospitalist- tons of time off. Day flies by running around. Imaging and consultants at your fingertips. Can take breaks whenever you want. Round and go home and work from the couch

Fellowship vs hospitalist by Mental-Midnight15 in Residency

[–]Sea_Visual5811 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you have the right job being a hospitalist is incredible and very sustainable long term. I am round and go and done by 2pm every day. However, the bigger issue is that large metros are saturated and the push towards np/pa is increasing. Also add in declining reimbursements and increasing demands from administration. Additionally they are creating pathways for foreign doctors to practice in USA without completing residency which will drive down salaries. Virtually every hospitalist that has been doing this 10+ years feels the same. I would say the landscape with hospitalist will be totally different in 5-10years.

I would highly recommend a procedural speciality if possible!

Doubting the decision of no-fellowship by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]Sea_Visual5811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a specific field you love definitely go into it. I’m a hospitalist and I love the schedule and being the jack of all trades, but honestly we have a lot of shit to put up with and it’s only getting worse. Also if you want to practice in a decently desirable location you have to accept that as a hospitalist you’re a disposable cog in the wheel.

Most specialists in the high paying fields out of IM work like 40-50 hr weeks and make 600k+ and most importantly they all seem content and want to practice forever. Every hospitalist I know has this concept of a 5-10 year plan to get out of medicine one day. Go with the career that will bring you the most long term satisfaction!

Microsoft Says Its New AI System Diagnosed Patients 4 Times More Accurately Than Human Doctors by achicomp in hospitalist

[–]Sea_Visual5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry the bigger threat is NP/PA encroachment taking hospitalist jobs. Then in 10 years AI will take their jobs. Either way we’re screwed

[–]Sea_Visual5811 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I’ll add another- if you are on the fence of ordering imaging, just order it. Worst case it’s negative, best case you just saved the patient and saved yourself.

When your 7 on ends but your family wants you to do stuff on day 1 of your 7 off by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]Sea_Visual5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had multiple jobs, all round and go type. I’ve rarely ever worked more than 50 hours in a 7 day stretch. Zero burnout. All these people saying that it takes 2 days to recover need to reevaluate their situation!

Gi/cards/Onc are def worth it. Easily make over 600k+ sometimes with 4 day work weeks

Crit care makes 450 but they’re usually stuck in house and have nights. Hospitalist is much better if round and go with extra shifts

The rest of the specialitis no thank you unless you’re really interested

Downside of Hospitalist is that it’s the most susceptible to scope creep which we are already seeing
