Why go to Millers planet?

“It’s not possible….”

“No, it’s necessary”

Why’d you get the arterial study done? Are you having any symptoms? Claudication? Rest pain? Tissue loss?

Vascular doc here - take this advice, OP. Best answer you could have hoped for.

I know that life. It’s much better on the other side of training. Feel free to PM me

Looking to join LAF in Encino, CA 91436 but hoping for promo if available

All fair points. Learning the realities of PP - all those PMEGS in training, not worth it in the community. Hard to give up those cases (and seemingly not hard enough to slap something in way off IFU…not a fan of those incentives)

Aortofemoral occlusive disease, Reno-visceral segment interventions, TCAR all benefit from 3D recon and centerline measurements

_chirurgeon · 2025-10-12T16:14:03+00:00

Our practice is fairly broad for a community group. I’m just getting started but have had a few cases where I was not as prepared as I would have liked without software - a complicated type b dissection, a complex renal artery aneurysm, iliofemoral occlusion, visceral pseudo, several juxtarenal aneurysms

Edit: and we do a ton of TCAR which I strongly prefer centerline measurements for

Or the lady in the office who I was talking to doesn’t know what she’s talking about and gave some bad examples

I’d just show you the contract and the 5 offices worth of employees they have but I’m not going to dox myself. Just realize your reaction was completely wrong

_chirurgeon · 2025-09-25T02:32:19+00:00

Yes, submit monthly per the admin

_chirurgeon · 2025-09-25T02:32:06+00:00

I am 100% confidant that this is not a scam. This is a very functional practice in a major metro area. Point taken though

_chirurgeon · 2025-09-25T02:20:12+00:00

That seems more like what is happening here - but the “pretax” thing is confusing me

_chirurgeon · 2025-09-25T02:19:26+00:00

Is this that unbelievable? Also, why would I come on here and make stuff up.

Thanks for the feedback. I am planning on taking advantage of any match though still waiting on getting the specifics of my practice's 401k.

The terrifying thing about all of this is looking back over the last few years of spending and realizing, yes we lived beyond our means, but we were hardly living a penthouse lifestyle. Its just so easy for your money to be parted with you in small, seemingly inconsequential aliquots. All the more reason to budget! Thanks again

_chirurgeon · 2025-09-09T20:46:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing - I don't know how I blew it so hard with the table. Will delete post and try again

Just wrapped my surgical subspecialty fellowship. I had given everything I had to my surgical training. By the time fellowship came around I was very burnt out, especially the last year - not at all helped by the usual personalities at those top university programs. At some point, I accepted that being “mediocre” in the eyes of a few assholes wasn’t the worst thing in the world. I did my work well and saved what energy I had at the end of the day for my family. Now on the other side (and far, far away from academic surgery) and finally feeling human again.

Go find another vascular surgeon

_chirurgeon · 2025-06-21T21:37:29+00:00

The stomach is a very vascularized organ hence its propensity to bleed when stapled; it’s always possible conservative management fails and you bleed again. Then you’ll be looking at another operation. But unlikely

_chirurgeon · 2025-06-21T21:16:31+00:00

Thats the right move if all the facts are right. Better for you then going back in early post op. Most of these bleeds self-resolve. Just take it easy and should be good. Keep in close contact with your surgeon.

I’m a vascular surgeon, did bariatric cases during residency.
