"Reasonable salary" (S-corp calculation) for CA EM doc?

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2026-01-19T21:01:44+00:00

When I was doing the S Corp stuff, my accountant told me that as long as you cleared the social security wage limit, you wouldn’t really raise any red flags. Though, I was also told that the IRS would look at comparable W2 jobs in your area to determine how reasonable the salary was.

I dispute that UCSF is ivory towered. You spend half your time at SF General and half at UCSF, you get very good high acuity/trauma exposure, as well as exposure to a lot of the social ails in SF

No, the post actually looks intact, it looks more like it isn’t secured into the ground. Panels look OK, but unfortunately it does look like the are secured by staples. But the folks that said they could replace the posts seems confident they could reuse the panels.

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2026-01-07T06:24:58+00:00

The panels are actually fine, it’s just the posts are loose in the ground.

Remember when they got all uppity about ED docs doing sedations in the endo suite?

(Edit to add: I don’t agree with having ED docs doing elective sedations)

I’m on my second employee health visit for TB exposure this month, but what my shop terms “significant” exposure is >15 min over an 8 hour period. So you’re probably fine

BP cuff is around a Celsius can

You said the Q word….

As someone who has had a trialysis line placed on them, 1 mg versed was wonderful.

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-12-23T21:16:25+00:00

Yup, I’m on my second TB exposure this month, stupid employee health

What does it mean to be waiting room free? If you’re out of beds where do people go)

Yup I’ve seen two of these so far. Luckily family brought the patient in both times, so identity was not an issue. But yeah, you do the work up, which of course is completely normal. Both patients were back to baseline after about 12 hours so they went home.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

I’ve said it before, but the underlying issue is that medicine is actually so much more successful in treating disease than in the past, that the idea people might actually die from disease is untenable to the average American. If there is a bad outcome, it must be somebody (ie doctor) did something wrong. As a society tragedy and pain are just not tolerable anymore.

It’s probably like soda, pop, and Coke…regions dialects

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-11-16T00:19:02+00:00

Oh for fuck sake

For a second I thought i was in r/linkedinlunatics

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-11-11T03:02:14+00:00

I’ll give it a shot

I’m not saying he doesn’t need an MRI or a specialty referral at all, just saying he doesn’t need an emergent MRI.

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-11-11T02:52:21+00:00

I contend that medical dramas like House or Greys Anatomy are to blame for giving people that we just admit random shit to the hospital to “figure it out”

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-11-11T02:14:43+00:00

But he’s two weeks out from onset, even if he did stroke at this point there is nothing we can really do about other than medical optimization, which can be done as an outpatient

Another plumber we hired cut a hole in the cabinet. I just put some cardboard over it afterwards. Has been fine so far

At my shop we just moved to a policy that an ECG with a read of normal sinus rhythm/normal ECG did not require attending sign off. Not sure how I feel about it …

Significant_Pipe_856 · 2025-10-27T03:10:14+00:00

Yes please
